Out of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 best were 

 made by Pape. The Greener gun was protested 

 against on the spot for having its score false counted, 

 the fact proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 

 same gun being shot for two days per week for six 

 weeks in succession, when its average score only took 

 24th place, its very best score being greatly below the 

 scores'of the besi six guns.

 of the Field to possess the GREATEST PENE-

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

 pellets of same shot and same charge of powder, gave 

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

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