th^ t^*^^** several disputed points^ as near ae they can be decided: First, that there is no perceptible difference in accuracy between breech-loaders and muzzle-loaders, but that if anything 
oiheri f quickest; second, that in our clear climate we may look for even better shooting in the future; |third, that the Remington rifle stands at the head ol all 
breecLloLfei^s^in^th’e^*^ ^t^^ in simplicity of nieciianism. The Remington rifles in the match scored thirteen points ahead of the same number of muzzle-loaders, and twenty-two points ahead of the Sharpe’ 
«.,* thejnternational Match, sis muzzle-loaders, three Remington, and three other breech-loaders weie used. Lieut. Fulton, Col. Bodinc, and L. L. Hepburn used the three Remingtons. Fulton’s score 171 
out of a possible ISO-highest score ever made.

These Shells with slotted lieads arc so constrncted as to enable 
sportsmen easily to remove the exploded caps from the outside with 
any pointed instrument— even a o inmon pocket knife will do the 
work successfully. Once seen Suorhinen will use no other shell, as 
it obviates all trouble with broken down anvils, broken points in 
cap ejectors, holes punched through caps, screw head shells that 
corrode and cannot be unscrewed after a little use. In a word, it will 
supercede all other shells now in use.

Chicago and North-Western Railway. 
This great corporation now owns and operates over two thousand 
miles of road, radiating from Ch:cago like thi flngcis in a man’s 
hand, its lines reach in all directions and cover about all of the 
country north, north-west and west of Chicago. With one branch 
it reaches Racine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and the country north 
thereof; with another line it pushes through Janesville, Watertown, 
Ushkosh, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Escanalia, to N gaunee and 
Marquette, with another line it passes through Madison, Elroy, and 
for St. Paul and Alinneapolis; liranching westward irom Elroy, it 
runs to and through Winona, Owatonna, St. Peter, Mankato, New 
Ulm, and stops not until Lake Kameska, Dakota, is reached; an- 
other line starts from Chicago and runs through Elgin and Rockford 
to Freeport, and, via the Illinois Central, reaches Warren, Galena 
and Dubuque, and the country beyond. Still another line runs al- 
most due westward, and passes through Dixon, Sterling, Fulton, 
Clinton, (Iowa,) Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown. Giand Junction, Mis- 
souri Valley Junction, to Council Bluffs and Omaha. This last 
named is the "Great Trans continental Route.” and the 
moneer overland line for Nebra.sra, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, 
Montana, Nevada, California, and the Pacific Coast. Ii runs 
through the Garden of Illinois and Iowa, and is the best, safest, 
shortest and liesl route to Omaha, Lincoln, and other points in 
Nebraska, and for Cheyenne, Denver, Salt Lake City, Vir- 
ginia City, Carson, Sacramento. San Francisco and all other 
points west of the Missouri river. 
See, then, what one company can do. If yon want to go to M 
waukee, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Sheboygan. Janesville, Wat

Fort Dodge, Sioux City, Yankton, Council Blutls, Omaha. Lincoln, 
Denver. Salt Lake City, Sacreuieuto, San Francisco, or a hundred 
other northern, norlli-western, or western points, this great line is 
the one you should take. The track is of the best steel rail, and is 
well ballasted and as free from dust as a road can be made. The bridges 
are strong and durable, and all the appointments are lirst-class in 
every respect. The trains that run over this route are made up of 
elegant new Pullman Palace Drawing Room and Sleeping Coaches, 
built expressly for this line, \u%\ir\o\i», well-lightc-d and well venti- 
lated Day Coaches, and pleasant lounging and smoking cars— all 
built by this campany in their own shop,«. The cars are all equipped 
with the celebrated Miller Safety Platform, and patent Butlers and 
couplings, Weslinghouse Safety Air Brakes, and every other appli- 
ance that has been devised for the safely of | assenger trains. All 
trains are run by telcgriiph. In a word this GREAl' LINE has the 
best and smootliest track, and the most elegant and cemfortable 
equipment of any road in tlie West, and has no competitor in the 
country. It is eminently the favorite route with the Chicagoans 
travelling west, north, or north-west, and is acknowledgi d by the 
travelling public to be the popular line for all points in Northern 
Illinois, w iscousin, Minnesota. Northern Michigan, Dakoia, West- 
ern Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, 
Nevada, California, and the Pacific Slope.

mon. Pike, Pickerel and Bass Kisliing

company will be found unsurpassed by any thing in the West.
