DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The members of the progressive Boiling Springs Fish and Gun 

 Club have been expanding considerable money and time in im- 

 proving their haodsorne grouods at Rutherford, N. J . and every- 

 thing is now in prime form for the host of shooters who will visit 

 them on Jan. 39 and 30, when their aunuol tournament will he 

 held. All shooting will be at artificial targets and the programme 

 will he so arranged as to suit all shooters. Mr. Outwater, one of 

 the most energetic of the club shooters, dropped into the writer's 

 sanctum a. few days ago and in the course of a pleasant conversa- 

 tion informed me that the club would hereafter use the five-trap 

 system altogether, as the use of ten traps grows tiresome, com- 

 pelling the shooters, unless the attendance be very large indeed, 

 to rema'n in front of the traps almost constantly. He also said 

 that In a short time the grounds would all be filled in and that 

 as soon as this was accomplished the eluh would hold a three- 

 days' tournament, devoting tne third day to contests at live 

 pigeons. 



A diamond badge, emblematic of the first class championship 

 of the Coney Inland Rod and (run Club, will hereafter adorn the 

 manly breast of Adam Eppig. he having won it for the third con- 

 secutive time at last Wednesday's shoot. In the December shoot 

 he killed 24 straight to win against his opponent's 23, but last 

 Wednesday 13 straight made him a winner. 



The Acme Gun Club will hereafter shoot on the second Tuesday 

 iD each montn at live birds and artificial targets, and at the end 

 of the season prizes will be awarded for the best averages in each 

 style of shooting. Tue officers for 1892 are a.s follows: President, 

 O, Detbloff: Vice-President, H. Menkel; Secretary, T. Short; 

 Treasurer, F. Monk.

The Linden Grove Gun Club, which now holds a front rank 

 among Long Island clubs, will shoot at Louis Miller's Dexter 

 Park, Long Island, on Friday. This club has recently elected the 

 following officers for the current year: President, W. Cunning- 

 ham; Vice-President, W. Vollmer; Secretary and Treasurer, H. 

 E. Wienian.

Al. Heritage, of Jerspy Oity. who is perhaps better known by bis 

 sobriquet of ' Old South Paw," informs me that he will some time 

 during the coming spring, run a four days' tournament on the 

 grounds of the Jersey City Heights Gun Club, at Marion. The 

 firs* two days' shooting will be at artificia l targets and the last, two 

 days at live pigeons. A big event will be given in the shape 

 of a $25 sweepstake at 25 live birds per man. Mr. Heritage is 

 nothing if not original, and he says that among the special 

 featurps of h's tournament will be the awarding of a $10 gold 

 piece to the shooter who is decided to show the best position at the 

 score, and the awarding of a similar piece of metal to the shooter 

 who uses the poorest gun. The tournament will be run on the 

 most modern lines, the shooting at artificials being done under 

 the rapid system. A big restaurant tent will be pitched and the 

 shooting house reserved for shooters alone. 



Team shooting is deservedly growing in popularity, giving as it 

 does such an excellent opportunity to the members of the contest- 

 ing clubs to become well acquainted with one another, and that 

 UDder conditions which are more favorable than are incidental to 

 the average tournament. The clubs of New Jersey seem to be 

 ahead of other sections in regard to the number of team matches, 

 and all of them are ready at a few days' notice to tu n out for a 

 contest. On Saturday ooe of these sociable events will take place 

 at Springfield. N. J., when teams from the Union Gun t!lub, of 

 that place, and the Boiling Springs Fish and Gun Club, of Ruther- 

 ford, will try conclusions, for friendship only. The teams will 

 comprise 18 men each, and each man will shoot at 25 artificial 

 targets, under the 5-trap rapid-firing system. The Rutherford 

 boys will leave for Springfield on tha D. L. & VV. train, which 

 starts from New York at 10:10 A. M. Beside the team contest 

 there will be sweepstake shooting all day for all who desire to 

 keep their guns Warm.

One of the most pleasing pieces of news that has come to my 

 ears for some time is in effect that the United States Cartridge 

 Company had signed, sealed and settled an agreement by which 

 Thomas H. Keller, the popular "Tee Kay" of the sporting press 

 and a dozen or more gun clubs, becomes their general traveling 

 man, his field being "the United States." "Tee Kay" is a hustler 

 from way back, and the company is to be congratulated upon 

 securing him to work in its interest. His ability as a salesman is 

 perhaps best told by the simple statement that for fifteen 

 years he was retained by one firm. Tom says it required some- 

 what of a struggle on Ms oart to cut loo^e from his present busi- 

 ness, but the prospect offered was so bright that he could not 

 resist. He will enter upon his new duties on Feb. 1, and of his 

 many friends none will extend to him any more hearty wishes for 

 "Gltick" than the writer.

It appears after all as though Frank Class were not as much to 

 blame for the recent fiasco at Marion as some were anxious to be- 

 lieve. Iam informed on reliable authority that on Jan. 12 Mr. 

 Class sent word to Mr. Lumbreyer that it would be impossible for 

 him to be on hand to shoot the match. This word, however, 

 failed to reach Mr. Lumbreyer in time to prevent his going to 

 Marion. But those who were fooled on the above date are likely 

 now to have three chances to get even, as the appended letter 

 shows: 



New Yobk.. Jan. 14. — Editor Forest and Stream: I have made 

 three matches with Frank Class. Mr. Piper, his backer, was here 

 yesterday and put up a hundred dollars forfeit m L. Westervelt's 

 hands. The first match is to take place at Marion, N. J., on 

 Thursday, Jan. 28, at 2 P. M. These matches are at 100 live birds 

 per man, Hurlmgham rules to govern. In regard to the first, 

 match I will bet Mr. Class $250 on the outside that I will defeat 

 him. Each of the matches is for $250 a side. * * * I think 1 

 can make him shoot better than he ever did, as I am getting my- 

 self right down to business form for these matches.— Fred. Ltjm- 

 breter. 



JudgiDg from the above, which has a business ring all through, 

 some shooting for blood maybe looked for when thesa two men 

 meet. Class, during the time that he kept himself in steady prac- 

 tice, was a fine shot, using a remarkably quick and accurate sec- 

 oud when called for. For a year, however, he was practically on 

 the shelf, doing little, if any, trap work. In fact, it was only 

 about two months ago that he decided to resume shooting. Hence 

 his public form is ph unknown quantity. Lumbreyer, on the 

 other hand, whom I always considered a good man with the 

 smooth-bore, has & en seeping himself in constant practice dur- 

 ing all these months and has kept steadily improving in his work. 

 "Whether at match or sweepstake shooting, as a part of a team or 

 an individual, he is a dangerous man to be pitted against. Based 

 on public form. I think Lumbreyer should be at least 3 per cent, 

 better than his opponent at tuis time. 



The Crescent Gun Club has decided to enter "the swim," and 

 hereafter its contests will be under modified Hurlmgham rules, 

 instead of Long Island rules, as formerly. The main prize during 

 the season of 1892 will be a fine grade Parker hammerless gun. 

 At a recent meeting of this club, Walter Gilmau was seated in the 

 president's chair for his third consecutive term. J. Rath j en was 

 elected vice-president; L. Honkins, secretary and treasurer, and 

 J. Vagts, cap rain. Four new names were added to the roll. 



The members of the Atlantic Rod and Gun Club have not been 

 able to satisfy themselves with one shoot a mouth, and hereafter 

 will have two shooting days at live pigeons. The next shoot will 

 take place on January 28.

Louis Miller, the energetic proprietor of Dexter Park, is trying 

 to negotiate a deal with B. Koeing, proprietor of Woodlawn Park, 

 providing for a trophy to be offered jointly by them for a series 

 of three matches between teams from the Emerald and Unknown 

 Gun Clubs. The former is supposed to be the Champion Club of 

 Dexter Park, while the latter is cock of the walk at Woodlawn 

 Park. 



* * # 



An interesting team match will take place at Dexter Park the 

 latter part of this month, the teams being Messrs. Still and 

 Hartye against Messrs. M. Hayden and Wilkler. The conditions 

 will be twenty-five live birds uer man, for a stake of $100 a team. 

 The men will stand at 25 and 27 yards. 



The incorporation, of the W. Fred Quimby Company, with a 

 capital of $rt0.000, marks a very important change in the sport- 

 ing goods trade. The company is incorporated under the laws of 

 New Jersey, $75,000 of the stock being paid up and the remaining 

 $25,000 to bo put in when necessary. W. Fred Quimby is presi- 

 dent and Edward R. Diuiiek treasurer of the new company, which 

 will carry on the business of manufacturing and selling sporting 



and street shoes, leather and canvas snorting goods, and ammu- 

 nition, besides which the company will push the sale of Smith 

 guns and bluerock targets. 



The past history of the firm of W. F. Quimby & Co., which 

 gives way to the new company, is an interesting one. The busi- 

 ness was first established by Thomson & Son, in 18T2, thr-ir busi- 

 ness being the manufacture of the famous Thomson hunting 

 boots and shoes. The business progressed favorably until in 1878 

 Charles H. Yerrington became a member of the firm. In 1883 Mr. 

 Yerrington became the sol* proprietor of the business, and the 

 following year W- Fred Quimby purchased a half interest, the 

 firm name being Yerrington & Quimby. Later on Mr. Yerring- 

 ton, owing to failing health, retired from the firm, and from that 

 time untill889 Mr. Quimby was alone in the management of the 

 business, which kept up a steady growth. In this yar Edward R. 

 Dimick associated himself with the business, the firm becoming 

 W. Fred Qu m by & Co. Mr. Dimick looked after the financial 

 part, of the business, while Mr. Quimby attended to the "hustling" 

 for trade, bis efforts in this line being very successful. These two 

 gentlemen will have charge of the business of the new company. 



A fpw vea^s ago all the manufacturing of the old firm was done 

 in a 10x25 shop in the rear of the office at 30 1 Broadway, two men 

 and one boy comprising the working force. Now the company 

 has a three- s>tory factory 100x25ft., on the corner of Mulberry and 

 Camp streets, Newark, N. J., with ninety people on the pay roll. 

 First-class men drawing high salaries are in charge of the several 

 departments, and the aim of the company wilt be to turn out, a 

 high grade of work. The boot and shoe department is in charge 

 of John McNeill and Thos. Guthrie; the &un case work is looked 

 after by John Haskell, while manufacture, of sportsmpn's leather 

 and canvas clothing is supervised by Richard Hill. Messrs. 

 Guthrie and Hill wf re with the original firm of Thomson & Son. 

 Some idea of thp extent of the business assumed by the new com- 

 pany may ^e inferred from the fact that during 1891 Quimby & 

 Co. disposed of 3 500 000 bluerock targets.

 Ful ford and J. L. Brewer in position at the trap during their 

 great match at Woodlawn Park, Long Island, Fulford bfing in 

 position to ca'l " pull " and Brewer in the act of firing. The pic-

The following account of a match away back in March, 1876, at 

 Marengo. Iowa, has been sent to this office, and thinking that the 

 conditions may be considered unique it is given in full: 



L. A Clearu-.au vs. C M. Barnes, twelve pairs of pigeons each, 

 from two plunge traps set 40yds. apart, the shooter to stand mid- 

 way between rhe trap3, both traps to be sprung at the sainf time, 

 ]J4 n z- shot, 100yds. boundary, for a $100 purse and the champion- 

 snip of Iowa county.

A Simmons was referee and E. Dormart scorer. The birds were 

 strong flyers; thp' ground was covered by several inches o? snow 

 and the bright sun shining on this made it difficult to see white 

 birds clearly.

In a private letter H. A. Penrose states that the trap-shooting 

 season at New London, Conn., will open on Friday, 22nd inst., and 

 that Conn, expects to have a strong League or State Association this 

 vear. In regard to the coming tournament of the Inter-State 

 Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association, Mr. Penrose says the 

 progamme for the Baltimore shoot, to bp, held the second week in 

 Murch, will be out in a short time. It will be one of the most a'- 

 tractive programmes ever gotten up. He is also working up the 

 details for the Staunton, Va., shoot which occurs the second week 

 in April. No time nor expense will be spared to make these the 

 best shoots that have ever been held.

J. L. Brewer Talks Business. 



Clayton, N. J„ Jan. 18— Editor Forest and stream: Allow me 

 to call your attention to a mistake which appeared in your issue 

 of Dec. 17. I have no doubt that Mr. Henry C. Squires, of New 

 York, ran supply his customers with a verv good hand-loaded 

 cartridge; I remember very well of giving Mr. Squires a secret 

 (about a year ago) of loading Schultze powder and all other nitro 

 compounds, whhh has evidently made a great business for him. 

 T^ e fact of Mr. Fulford using Squires' hand-loaded shells in his 

 matches with me the 12th, 13tb and 14th of November demon- 

 strates a superiority over all other ready loaded cartridges by his 

 killing so many birds regardless as to quality, wh'ch is open to 

 criticism. If, in the opinion of the people, the birds were a bad 

 lot, I should be sorry to change the idea. 



Mr. Fulford is a gentleman and has proven to rhe world that he 

 is heyond all doubt a remarkable man with the shotgun, and why 

 he should withdraw from the prof ession at so early afdate is some- 

 thing I do not understand. Why not stand up and fight as I have 

 for fifteen years in defence of our own native land?" 1 am proud 

 to say that I have captured the honors from the two great sport- 

 ing countries of the world, namelv, England and Australia in 1888 

 after some excellent shooting, and all that was possible for a man 

 to contend wi'h to cause a defeat. I won the World's Champion- 

 ship, donated by the London Sportsman, which has been in circu- 

 lation over one hundred years. In February I defeated Mr. Louis 

 Clark, of Melbourne, Australia, for the Cb.amoionHb.ip of the 

 Col onies. 



I have never beeu asked to dpfend either of my honors in any 

 country. I therefore call your attention to Mr. Squires' advertise- 

 ment in your issue of Dec 17 in its most conspicuous plice. There 

 was nothing ever said about a championship match between Mr. 

 Fulford and myself, or anyone with whom I have ever shot, in 

 this or any other country, sinc« I obtained the great object, which 

 is no doubt an eyesore to a great, many. 



Now it is a certain thing in my opinion, that I am not improving 

 any in shooting. I desire to ask tne pigeon shooters of the world 

 one favor, of granting me the privilege of demonstrating to the 

 world, that. I am the Champion, or to produce a man to take my 

 honors from me. If such a match can be arranged, I claim the 

 right to furnish the birds (which must be first-class), also ground 

 for said match to take place. 1 ask no favors nor do 1 care to know 

 my opponent until I me-t him at the scorp. I am authorized by 

 mv ba'fcer to make a match for from $1,000 'o $10,000 a side, from 

 100 to 500 birds per man including the World's Cnampionship 

 which I now hold ; and it, affords me pleasure to think that there 

 is not a man in the world who can take it from me. 



Should this challenge be accepted by any one, the match will be 

 shot under the London Gun Club rules, which are evidently the 

 fairest rules u=ed to govern trap-shooting to-day. A few days' 

 notice and I will furnish you with ihe necessary amount to bind 

 such a match, or full amount if so r* qur^d. 



Capt. John L. Brewer. 

 Champion WmgShotof the World. 



Fulford Will Shoot Chicago. 



Habbisbubg, Pa., Jan. 18.— Editor Forest and Stream: I notice 

 each week, both in yours and other shooting papers, communica- 

 tions from Chicago stating they are very anxious to pit their man 

 Kleinman against Fulfora. and that "Billy Mussev's" safe has 

 $1,000 in it waiting to be covered to make a match. Now all such 

 talk may "go" in Chicago, butitdon'tEast; and, although Fulford 

 has practically given up shooting matches, your Chicago friends 

 must not crowd him too hard or he may he led to reconsider his 

 rcsolye. If they really want to make tbe match let them deposit 

 $500 as a forfeit in the office of Forest and Stream, or with any 

 reputable person or paper, and I will gua rantee that it will he 

 covered under the following conditions: Fulford must be allowed 

 to name the dates, as his business is such that he can get away 

 only at, certain times, and, as the matches are to be shot at 

 Chicago, this would not be asking too great a concession from 

 them, and four to five days would be as long a time as he could 

 devote to the trip. To shoot three matches at 100 birds each on 

 three successive, davs (weather permitting) with Mr. Kleinman or 

 any other man from Chicago. The stakes to be not P-6S than $500 

 on Pitch match ($1,000 preferred) or three matches for $1,500 to 

 l&l KK '; the winner of two out of the three to take the pot. Ameri- 

 can Association rules, or possibly no objections to their own 

 Illinois rules. No objections to Mr. Watson furnishing the birds, 

 and the. faster the bHtter for Mr. Kleinman. as no doubt Fulford 

 ran kill 100 'duffers" straight, as he has done it before and might- 

 do it again. Now, if the above is acceptable to your Chicago 

 friends, let them mi ke their deposit, a'ad I think it will be covered 

 before it gets very cold, and think minor details will caus«v*»ry 

 little trouble. C. E. H. Brelsford. 



Trap Communication. 



Williamsport, Pa., Jan. 18.— Edit'ir Forest and Stream: You 

 will Temember I found fault with my new Greene r gun before and 

 after the match with Capt. Brewer at Woodlawn. I had grave 

 reason to. I could not hit a barn and get in it, and I could throw 

 a cat through tbe pattern of the left barrel at 50yds. It was cist 

 off much more than my old gun. I did not notice that until after 

 the match, as I only got the gun a few days before tbe shoot. I 

 wish to say, in due respect to Mr. Greener, that I got, a bet f er gun 

 than I expected. After experimenting no less than 500 times in 

 every conceivable way I found tbe load that it will shoot and I 

 believe to-day I have the best gun in America, audi don't see how 

 a pigeon can get away and live inside of 50yds. 



E. D. Fulford, 



Dean Wins the Challenge Cup. 



Those who visited the grounds of the Maplewood Gun Club, just 

 above Orange, N. J., on Saturday, to t ry their bands at smashing 

 bluerocks, suffered considerable inconvenience from the cold and 

 were also bothered by the strong wind which gyrated the light 

 targets in all directions except where they were wanted. The 

 opening contest was a match for the club's challenge cup, to be- 

 come the owner of which a member must win six contests at fifty 

 bluerocks each. The principals were C. C. Dean, one of the club's 

 youngest and most expert marksmen, who won the first contest 

 for the cup on New Year's Day, and A. A. Sickley, a veteran 

 at trap shooting. The result is given below in detail, the shooting 

 being from unknown angles :

Murphy Beats Brown. 



The shooting grounds connected with Larchmont Manor were 

 tbe scene of an interesting live bird match on Friday, Jan, 15, 

 the contestants being Edgar Murphy and Wm. Brown. The con- 

 ditions of the match were rather peculiar. Murphy shot at 30 

 and Brown a t 27yds., this of itself being a generous allowance io 

 the latter. Beside this, however. Murphy agreed to give Brown 

 10 misses, & e., tbe latter was to be credited with a dend bird on 

 each of his first 10 misses. The day was a miserable one for this 

 or any other kind of outdoor sport, the fine snow continually 

 blowing into the faces and eyes of the shooters. The birds, under 

 favorable conditions would have been hard flyers, but under the 

 i onditiotis above mentioned they could not even be called fair. 

 The match resulted in an easy victory fo 

 opponent out on the eighty-fifth round. '
