The butts were made of the Washington navy
yard and were the objects of considerable favor
able. though closely critical attention through.
out the tests. IL was the universal opinion that
no better firing butts have ever been set before
gun. The oak of the backing frames was
three feet in thickness.
The plates were identified bv inscriptions
stcnciled upon the wood backing above the
metal, and we're arranged thus: The all-steel
Creusot plate was on the left of the gun. the
Cammeu compound plate on the right and the
Creusot nickel plate in the middle The first
shot was fred at the ail-steel Creusot, the
second at the Cammel and the third at the
nickel. this order being steadily maintained
throughout the test.
REGULATIONS FOR SPECTATORS
The following order was posted in several
places around the firing butt copy being In
the possession of the coxswain OF each OF the
half dozen steam launches in use during the
day: "A musket will be fred before each shot,
and all spectators are cautioned to take shelter
and remain under cover sufficiently long to al
low all fragments to drop. The space roped in
IN front OF the targets Is reserved in order that
the board may have an opportunity for ey-
animation and discussion after each shot and
to give the photographer a clear space for
views. In order &c avoid delays guests are
requested to remain outside the ropes until the
firing is completed for tho day"
Another cautioned the spectators that those
who remained out of cover during the firing
were in danger within 500 yards Earth-cov-
cred butts were scattered at various places in
the rear OF the gun, and there was a general
scramble Tor these whenever the musket shot
was heard.
