Net gain of REMINGTON over all others, 50 PERCENT. At the 1,000 yard range only the eight highest in 
previous ranges were allowed to enter, which though admitting all the Remington's , admitted only two of the 
others. This fact will account for the approximat e average at 1,000 yards. The two best marksmen on each 
side scored 30 with Remington's to 17 with the others. “Bloocl will tell!" See this paper, of June 4th, for 
official record of the above. For full particulars of these rifles address

At the long range match on the 13t.h instant for the Diamond Badge, Remington rifles won the first, sec¬ 
ond and third prizes. 
The scores at which 14 Remington and 19 other rifles were entered, were as follows:— 
Average at 500, 800, and 1,000 yards for Remington,..624 
Average at 500, 800, and 1,000 yards for others.51

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 
of time; that whenever an arm shall be devised-wlncfl 
shall 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, every consideration of public policy will re¬ 
quire its adoption. 
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.) . 
We are now receiving orders for theseguns, and hue 
notice will be given in this paper when they are ready 
for delivery. _ .
