THE HUBBELL BREACH-LOADER.

This is an alteration from a muzzle-loader, and is somewhat novel in its construction. On the trial for rapidity, it fired one hundred rounds in thirteen minutes thirty-two seconds, but this slow action was stated to have been caused by the fact that the party firing was not an expert. The cartridges used not being lubricated, the gun fouled rapidly, thus testing the strength of the breech-piece and barrel to their fullest extent, and satisfying the board that the weapon was strong enough for all practical purposes. On the test for accuracy, eight shots were fired in one minute, of which three entered the target, the gun being fired by a gentleman who had never before handled it. Its penetration was through the eleventh and into the twelfth board.
