Extract from Army and Navy Journal''' Official Report^ dated Od. 3, 1874. 
“The match decides several disputed points, as near as they can be decided: First, that there is no perceptible difference in accuracy between breech-loaders and muzzle-loaders, but that 
the former are the best, as they are certainly the quickest; second, that in our clear climate we may look for even better shooting in the future; third, that 
THE KEMINGTON RIFLE Stands ahead of all others for Accuracy.

if anything 
as it does in simplicity of mechanism. The Remington rifles in the match scored thirteen points ahead of the same number of muzzle-loaders, and twenty-two points ahead of the Sharps’ breech-loaders in

This great corporation now owns and operates over two thousand 
miles of road, radiating fiom Ch cago like thi fingers in a man’s 
baud, its lines reach in all directions and cover abont all of the 
country noith, north-wvst and west of Chicago. With one branch 
it reaches Ka«ine, Kenosha, Milwaukee, ana the country north 
thereof; with another line it pushes through Janesville, W ateriown, 
0^hkosh, Fond du Lac, Green Bay, EscanaUa, to N gaunee and 
Marquette, with another line itpasset through Madison, Elroy, and 
for bt. Paul and Minneapolis; branching westward from Elroy, it 
runs to and through Winona, Owutonna, 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. St 11 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 “Gkeat Trans-Continental Route.” and the 
moneer overland line for Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, 
Montana. Nevada, California, and the Pacific Coat-t. It runs 
through the Garden of Illinois and Iowa, and is the beet, safest, 
shortest and best route to Omaha, Lincoln, and other points in 
Nebraska, and for Cheyennk, 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 you want to go to M

Fort Dodge, Sioux City, Yankton, Council filufls, Omaha. Lincoln, 
Denver. Salt Lake City, Sacremento, San Francisco, or a hundred 
other northern, north-western, or western points, this great line is 
the one you should lake. The track is of the best steel rail, and is 
w ell ballasted and as free from dust as a road can be made. The bridges 
arc strong and dunble, and all the appointments are first-class in 
every respect. The trains that run over this route are made up of 
eUgant new Pullman Palace Draw ing Room and Sleeping Coaches, 
built expressly jor thU line, luxurious, well-lighted and well venti- 
lated Day Coaches, and pleasant lounging and smoking cars— all 
built by this campany in their ow n shops. The cars are all equipped 
w ith the celebrated Mil er Safety Platform, and patent Butlers and 
couplings, Wesiinghousc Safety Air Brakes, and every other appli- 
ance that has been devised for the safety of i assenger i rains. All 
trains are run by telegraph. In a word this GREA'J LINE has the 
best and smoothest track, and the most elegant and c< mfortable 
equipment of any road in the West, and has no competitor in the 
country. It is eminently the f;i\oriie route with the Chicagoans 
travelling west, north, or north-west, and is acknowledge d by the 
travelling public to be the popular line for all points in Northern 
Illinois, Wisconsin. Minnesota, Northern Michigan, Dakota, West- 
ern It)wa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, 
Nevada, California, and the Pacific Slope. 
TO SPORTS^IEK: 
This line presents peculiar advantages. For 
Prairie CTiicken.s, Ducks, Geese and Brant Sliooing, 
our Iowa Line to-day offers 
More Eavorahle Points 
than any other road in the country, while for 
Deer and Bear Hunting and for Brook Trout, Lake Sal- 
luoii. Pike, Piekerei and Bass Fishing 
a hundred points on the Northern and North-western lines of thi 
company will be found unsurpassed by any thing in the West.
