DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Next Thursday will be Essex Gun Club day on the Jersey City 

 Heights Gun Club grounds, at Marion, and a fine afternoon of 

 snort is anticipated. In the prize contest the members shoot at 

 10 live birds each, under club rules, and at club handicap rises. 

 The members are rated at a given number of points each, and 

 everv bird killed in excess of the stipulated rating counts as one 

 point to rhe credit, of the shooter in the struggle for the prizes. 

 These shoots are private. 



Saturday will see a big crowd and a big lot of shooting on the. 

 finely appointed gr-unds of the Passaic City Rod and Gun Club, 

 at Passaic, N. J. The main attraction will be the return match 

 between a team of ten men from the above club and a team from 

 the Boiling Springs Fish and Gun Club, nf Rutherford. The first 

 of this series of best-two-out-of- three-matches took place at 

 Rutherford on Feb. 27, the Boiling Springs winning in a walk. 

 In the coming contest the Passaic City contingent will make an 

 heroic effort to even up the honors. 



,7 ' 1 J * *>- m + 



Judging from the present outlook the 4001b. porker raised by 

 "Uncle" Jacob Pentz on his Fan wood farm is likely to die from 

 old age. On Feb. 25 it was shot for at Marion, three men tieing 

 for it. Last Saturday it was put up for the second time and won 

 by Harry E. Smith, the promising young shot from the button- 

 making portion of Newark. This was supposed to be the final 

 appearance of the porker as a p'iz», but lo and behold here we 

 have an invitation to visit John Erb's "Old Stone Hous e " grounds, 

 on Bloomfield avenue, Newark, N. J., on Saturday, March 12, to 

 witness a third contest for the same hog. The shoot will be at 

 10 very lively birds per man, $10 entry, a portion of the money to 

 go for second, third and fourth prizes, while the hog will be the 

 premier prize. The fun will begin at 1 P.M., there will be plenty 

 of rattling good birds and everybody is invited. 



A more thoroughly disgusted man than was the genial Harry 

 Thurman last Friday would bo difficult to find. Harry is the 

 major domo of trap-shooting affairs in Pennsylvania, and it is 

 doubtful if any man in the country is directly interested in the 

 making and direction of more matches or in the booming of more 

 clubs and tournaments than is this self-same Harry, yclept, 

 by his intimates "Old Father Time." A good shot either in the 

 field or at the trap, an athlete of no mean ability and a genial, 

 wholesouled chap withal, he has a h»st of friends who "swear by 

 him." As a newspaper man he is well known wherever a shotgun 

 is fired. As the inventor of the "Thurman-anti-slip-off-the-pedal- 

 attachment" for a bicycle he will soon gain new laurels, and 

 will gain the everlasting gratitude of the world of cjcledom. 

 But this of course has nothing to do with bis being disgusted as 

 above mentioned. The cause of his disgust was the double fizzle 

 anentthe four-handed match which led him through the sticky 

 mud to the Gentlemen's Driving Park on March 4. Harry says 

 business was booming at the factory, and it was somewhat of a 

 sacrifice for him to leave, and that once he did go he hated to bA
