CAUTION.

Be sure and ask for "NORTON'S PILLS," and do not be
persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations which
have sprung. un 4n consequence of the success of NORTON'S
CAMOMILE PILLS.

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 the 20 preliminary rounds,
select and recommend for further trial such of the systems
as may appear to them sufficiently promising, 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 £BOO 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 £lOO for 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 climates, and general serviceability.
The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but
as they may depend up{ u the rifting °Late arm with which
the cartridge is ass&salecl, 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.

present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions
to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted.
