CLJ 



W: W. GREENER begs to inform his numerous 

 clients in the United States that he has been very suc- 

 cessful in the above trial, having secured the first 

 prize, a silver cup, value 40 guineas— elass 2 for 12 

 bores; also winner in class 1 for 8 and 10 bores, and 

 class 4 for 20 bores. He has won in all the classes for 

 improved boring, which is upon a different plan to any 

 other maker, and is far superior in the three most es- 

 sential points, viz., PATTERN, PENETRATION, 

 and REGULARITY OP SHOOTING.

SHOWN by trials at Wimbledon by Editor 

 of the Field to possess the GREATEST PENE- 

 TRATION and therefore LONGEST RANGE— thus: 

 Circle, 30 inches; 300 pellets; average, 191; penetra- 

 tion, 37. The Editor's trial of Greener guns with 340 

 pellets of same shot and same charge of powder, gave 

 180,and penetration 30, although there were 40more pel- 

 lets in each charge. Should any controversy arise as 

 to the durability of these new systems, we herewith 

 warn all beforehand that our system is our own invea- 

 tion (though founded on the American idea) and is DU- 

 RABLE, a fact remarked on by the Field, that the 

 guns tried had been in use during last season, and ref- 

 erences permitted to the owners . Send for Illustrated
