Extract from “Army and Navy .Journal” Official Report, dated Oct.'i, 1874. 
“The match decides several disputed points, as near as they cau be decided: First, tliat there is no perceptible difference in accuracy between Itreech-Ioaders and muzzle-loaders, but that if anything 
the former are the best, as they are certainly the quickest; second, that in our clear climate we may look for even bitter shooting in the future; third, that 
'J'HE KEMINGTOX RIFLE Stands ahead of all olheis for Accutac}’. 
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 twentv-two points ahead of the Sharps’ breech-loaders in 
the same team.” 
In the IiilernationalMatch, six muzzle-loaders, three Remington, and three other breech-loaders we c useit. Capt. Fulton, Col. Bodine, and L. L. Hepburn used the three Remingtons. 
For full oflicial neport, see Army and Nary Joimial, Oct. 3, 1874. Fulton's score 171 out ofl80— highest score ever made.

other line starts from Chica'^o and runs through Elgin and Rockford 
to Freeport, and, via the Illinois Central, reaches Warren, Galena
