EXPERIMENTS WITH MR. MACKAY'S GREAT 01//4
NEAR. LIVERPOOL.—The success of this gun was to a etc;
tain extent demonstrated on Saturday last by some Pars
experiments on the Cresby Sands, near Liverpool. It "to
intended to have thoroughly tested the gun, but ()vita
the unfortunate state of the weather the experiments Pr o
per were not carried out. A thick haze prevailed along
to
coast, and hence it was not only difficult to distinguish f,
targets, even at 300 yards distance, but also highly &all,
ous, inasmuch as pedestrians were continually upou,t,o
beach in the line of fire. There were times, however, $llP:f
;the fog was partially lifted, and during one of these tilt;',o
vals six shots were fired at a wooden target (placed et
,h 0
yards) for the purpose of obtaining the range. Four of
~‘0
shots,struck the target, but two were rather wide of 7r
mark. The initial velocity obtained was 16.40 feet 0%0
second, which is considerably higher, we believe, dash :hi
velocity of the Armstrong shot, and about equal to
fle
68 pounder old ordance at 200 yards distance. •
six shots had been fired at the wooden target the erg
ments were postponed until the first fine day, owing to 0$
density of the fog, Had the weather been fine a tergori
repiesenting the side of her Majesty's ship Agihe° 0
would have been experimented upon. This targe', 4

props driven into the sand to a depth of eight feet, Yet co
Mackay is confident that his gun will shatter it to Piehere
Th 3 experiments attracted considerable interest, and t
