x. THE ARM AS A WHOLE.

also, of being used without accident by imperfectly trained
men, and of being manufactured in quantities and of uni-
form quality.
t. THE AMMUNITION AS A WHOLE.
. .

Must be as little liable to injury by rough usage, damp,
and exposure in all climate; as the Boxer cartridge for,
Snider's converted Enfield rifle—also as little liable to acci-
dental explosion as the same cartridge, and as capable of
being manufactured in large quantities, and of uniform
quality. K. CALIBRE.
Optional.
L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE.
Optional.

deg. 30 rain.

Q. FOULING.
The shooting not to deteriorate more than 20 per cent.
at 1,000 yards after firing 250 rounds.

n. PENETRATION.
The mean penetration of five shots not to be less than
that of the present service muzzle-loading Enfield Rifle—
viz., 12 half-inch elm planks, which have been soaked 48
hours in water.

Distance 30 yards. -
s. LITBRICATION.
Wax on bullets is indispensable, but any other lubricant
may be superadded or applied to the cartridge, if thought
necessary by the competitor.

- 111.
No arms will be received without the usual proof marks.
Specifications, and drawings of the methods proposed,
stating the probable cost per arm, and accompanied by a
finished specimen arm, with 20 rounds of suitable ammu-
nition, should be sent to the "Director of Ordnance, War
Office, Pall-mall," on or before the 30th March, 1867.
The specifications and specimen arms will be considered
by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem-
bers, who will be selected by the_secretary of State for
War, and who will, after firing_tho 2.0 preliminary rounds,
select and recommend for further, trial such of the systems
RS may appear to them sufficiently profilising, rejecting all
such as may not be considered to offer sufficient merits to
warrant their being included in the competition, the con-
ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. _ _

Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish
for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity
to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am-
munition per arm, within four months after date of de-
mand. Each competitor will be required to disclose to the
committee the exact nature of the lubrication he may em-
ploy. A sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted
competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of
the supply of ammunition required.
The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the
arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered
by the committee to be the best submitted.
A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at-
taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu-
lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism.
A third reward of £4OO fdr the best cartridge. The qua-
lities which will be principally taken into consideration in
awarding this prize will be economy of manufacture, power
of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration in
various climate; and general serviceability.
The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but
as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which
the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con-
sidered as those above-mentioned.
It is clearly to be understood that under no circumstances
will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but
such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be
given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the
service.
MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS.
Magazine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re-
ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech-
loading Rifles. They 'must not be less in length than 48
inches, including the stock.
The limit of weight for, these arms is fixed at 911 b. ex-
clusive of the charges in the magazine.
It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a
bayonet.
The Secretary of State offers a reward of 300 for the best
Magazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above
conditions ; and in the absence of experience does not at
present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions
to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted.
Those Magazine or Repeating Arms, which are accepted
for further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each.
This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per
arm.

V.
The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious
novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be
adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment,
and that the name of the individual with whom it origi-
nates shall bo recorded in connection with it.
if the rifle to which the first prize is awarded is adopted
into the service, it will bear the inventor's name.

of Ordnance.

been the favourite plate oftairtizilit*Ont inths.Metropolis,
has undergone ookilafigna4e also been most
Elegantly Rede-Cirated so as to insure the krarett Com:
fort to the numetdits Patrons who, during the last. short
season, have crowded the above gall, and expressed their
appreciation of the various Entertainments which have
been produced under the New Management.
The Hall will be inaugurated with a GRAND BAN-
QUET, on TUESDAY, November 20, 1866, Frederick
Strange, Esq., in the chair, and on the following evening,
WEDNESDAY, November 21st, the Hall will Re-open to the
Public.
The anxious endeavours of the Proprietors to please the
rapidly growing Musical taste of the British public, has
induced them to produce several Novelties as well as the
chef d'oeuvres of the most Eminent Composers, the first of
which being a Grand Selection from Auber's popular
Opera of "MASANIELLO" (by the permission of James
Kenny, Esq.), produced on a scale of magnificence •never
before attempted at any Music Hall.
The Great Novelty of the season will be the production
of an Entertainment called " The Irish Minstrels," which,
while Miscellaneous Entertainments are obtaining favour
with the Public, and Foreigners of Continental distinction
are (in a measure) superseding our English material, it is
strange that the Sister Country should not have found its
exponents as regards its Musical Originalities. The Pro-
prietors, impressed with a knowledge of this fact, present
the public with an embodiment of over-the-Channel pecu-
liarities—The Song—The Dance—The irregularities, are
all poutrayed. The Ancient "Carolan" (the almost Father
of " Erse" Music) has not been forgotten ,- and " Lover,"
(who is still living) is among the Brightest Musical Illus-
trators. One of his most beautiful Duets will form the
Opening of that which is intended to be submitted for
appreciation. It will be followed by an Ode to
Erin's Bard," par excellence "Tom Moore," and succeeded
by such Selections as will be calculated to show the Music
of the Ould Country in its integrity, displayed in such a
style as will merit the approval of discriminative discern-
ment.
The selection from MASANIELLO and the Irish Min-
strels, together with a brilliant array of Sensation and
Comic talent, including Fred French, Mrs. Bryan (Serio-
Comic), Miss Fancourt, PaddyFaunin, Patrick Sellers, and
Les Freres Risoralis, the eminent Classical Athletes, their first
appearance in London, will appear on the Opening Night,
Wednesday, November 21st. Arthur Lloyd, Jolly Nash,
Harry and Kattie King, and Miss Georgiana Smith-
son are re-engaged, and will shortly appear ; together
with a Galaxy of Talent, which will be announced.
In active preparation, Handel's ACIS and GALATEA ;
Donizetti's Opera, LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, and
ELISIR The Band will consist of 30 first-
class performers, and large Chorus chosen from her Ma-
jesty's and Covent Garden Opera Houses. Musical Di-
