The BitterIIch a LegIer Gun

Inthe notice made in last Sundays UNION
AND AMERICAN of the shooting match at
the Fair Grounds on the Friday previous,
the merits of the BitterIich & Legler gun
were Inadvertently overlooked by our in
| fOrmant. This gun is made in Nashville
\ by the well-knOwn gun-makerS from which
| it takes its name. 1t is one of the best sport
| ing guns manufactured, and is held in high
| favor by the sporting fraternity. The fol-
lowing report of the shooting qualities of
this gun, IN competition with the Reming-
/ ton, at the aforementioned match, is
| handed rs by a gentleman who was on the
ground at the time, and who engaged in the
match:
First Match-Won by the Remington
gun.
Second match-Won by the Bitterlich &
Legler gun.
Third match-First prize won by Mr.
Green, of Franklin, Tenn. Second prize,
by the Bitterlich & Legler gun.
Fourth match-First prize won by the
Biterlich II Legler gun, as also the second
prize.
The Bitterlich s. Legler gun was not in
the first match. The fourth match was a
handicap. The Bitterlich a Legler gun
was used at the longest range, twenty-five
yards, and won the first and second prizes.
The Remington was used at twenty-three
wards, and won nothing.
This is certainly famous record for the
Bitterlich q Legler, and being Nashville
gun, it is held in high esteem by all sport
ing men. We understand that match
with any gun in the market can be had at
any time.
