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, 6tli 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 annshallbedevisedwlnc.il 
shall be as effective as a single breech-loader, as the 
best of the existing breech-loading arms, and shall at 
the same tune possess a safe and easily manipulated 
magazine, every co?i$idsTcUiou, of public policy will rc* 
quire its adoption. 
Besotted , further , That the experiments before the 
Board with the Ward-Burton Magazine. System have 
so impressed the Board with the men’s of this gun. 
that they consider it as more nearly fulfill.ag :fic 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.)

notice will be given in this paper when they are ready 
for delivery. . _ . , -,
