A SPECIALTY. 
We would eall the attention of the public to our 
large assortment of 
Breech-Loading Shot Guns, 
Manufactured by the following celebrated makers: 
Messrs. W. & C. SCOTT & SONS (winners at the In¬ 
ternational Gun Trial of 1873); P. WEBLEY & SON,

To insure good shooting from Breech-loading Guns* 
we would recommend the use of the 
STURTEVANT BRASS SHOT SHELLS, 
manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Co., 
Bridgeport, Conn. These shells are the cheapest and 
best in the market, can be easily re-capped with ordi¬ 
nary caps, without the use of the implements neces¬ 
sary in priming all other styles of shells.

ANDREW CLERK & CO.,. 
Sole Agents for the United States , 
25-81 48 MAIDEN LANE, NEW YORK. 
This arm was submitted in competition with over 
one hundred different systems, American and Euro¬ 
pean. to the Board of United States Officers, appoint¬ 
ed by Act of Congress, 6th June, 1872, for the pur¬ 
pose of selecting the best arm for the service, and of 
which Brig. Gen. A. H. Terry was President. It suc¬ 
cessfully passed through all the tests. 
The following is the report of the Board: 
“ Resolved , That the adoption of magazine guns for 
the military service by all nations is only a question 
• ime; that whenever an arm shall be devised which 
11 be as effective as a single breech-loader, as the 
best of the existing breech-loading arms, and shall at 
the same time possess a safe and easily manipulated 
magazine, eveiy consideration of public policy will re¬ 
quire its adoption. . J 
Resolved , further , That the experiments before the 
Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine System have 
so impressed the Board with the merits of this gun, 
that they consider it as more nearly fulfilling the con¬ 
ditions above specified than any other tried by them 
or of which they have any knowledge, and it does 
recommend that a number of magazine muskets be 
made on the plan for further trial in the field.” (See 
Ordnance Report.) , _ 
W e are now making these guns to supply the nu¬ 
merous demands, and will soon have them m the 
market. „ . ,

zine for large game, carrying from 3 to 8 cartridges,
