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, 6tb 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 which 
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 m the field.’ (See. 
Ordnance Report.) , . .. , , 
We are now receiving orders for these guns, and due 
notice will be given in this paper when they are ready 
for delivery.

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