Extract from “ .1?™^ a?irf JVai'y Jouraul" OJficiat Report, dated Oct. 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 if anything 
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 REMINGTON RIFLE Stands ahead of all others for Accuracy. 
as it does in simplicity of mechanism, 
the same team.’" 
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 m 
In the InternationalMatch, six muzzle-loaders, three Reminzton, and three other breech-loaders wee useil . Capt. Fulton, Col. Bodine, and L. L. Hepburn used the three Remingtons. 
For full oflicial report, see Army and Navy Journal, Oct. 3, 1874. Fulton's score 171 out ofl80— highest score ever made. •
