& W. Toixbt 89 Maiden Lane, New York: The
10-guage Qnn No. 8078 1 ordered from you gives me
entire satisfaction. I was very exacting when or
dering the Gun, bat must say that yea have more
than fulfilled what I required of you. I have shot
several bretch-Ioaders by first-class makers and
yoax gua beats them all for beaity and workman
ship. As for shooting qualities, your guc shoots
stronger and more even than any gun I ever shot. 1 1
have shown it to several good judges (including
first-class gonmakers) and all agree that the taction
is very strong and durable, and that the gnn is one
of the beet they ever saw. I have made some very
long shots with it, nsing only 8 drs. ef powder,
which is all your gun requires. I have shot it at a
targat according to the rules of the Turf,- Field and
farm trials, and the average of 6 shots at 40
yards Is: Left-pattern, 169; penetration, "88:
right-pattern, 175; penetration 39; using 3X
drs. powder. Now I am sure such a gun
is seldom met with, and am very proud to be
the owner of it. But tbe real teat of vonr ena
Is in the field there it excells all others, killing
cleaner and handsomer than any gun 1 ever saw, as
yon assured me they would. Both paper and met al
shells work splendidly. Gentlemen. 1 have to offer
you my very best thanks, and will recommend your
guns to all my friends.
