DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



A ghkat, large time is expected at Passaic, N. J., to-mor- 

 row when the second team contest of the Trap-Shooters' League, 

 of New Jersey will be held under the auspices of the Passaic City 

 Rod and Gun CI nb. The contest is open to any and all clubs in 

 New Jersey under certain conditions, the teams to be comprised 

 of 5 men each and each man to shoot at 25 artificial targets, under 

 the five-trap r»p'd-firing system. Thetrap^s will be worked by the 

 aid of the Paul North electric trap-null, wnieh is giving such 'gen- 

 eral satisfaction wherever tried. Bluerock targets willbeused- 

 The team match will begin at 12 o'clock. The traps will be in 

 position ready for active business at 9 o'clock A. M., and sweep' 

 stake shooting will be in ordtr from that time to the start of the 

 team con 'est. The grounds may be reached via the Erie or D. L. 

 & W. railroads from New York. On the form- r road shooters 

 may take the 8, 9:b0, 10:30 A. M., 12. 1, 1:50, 2:40 or 3:07 P. M, trains, 

 and on the latter the 7:20. 9:30, 10:30 A. M. or 4:10 P. M. trains for 

 Passaic. Plenty of ammunition and an abundant lunch will be 

 on hand. 



Auent tbe above, the Newark shooters who desire to avoid the 

 necessity of traveling to Hoboken in order to reach Passaic are 

 advised that Carl von Leng<-rke has arranged for a stage to leave 

 the store of Von Lengerke & Detmold. 843 Broad street, Newark, 

 N. J , at 9 A. M., and that all who desire may take this method of 

 going to the shoot.

There will be some lively work at Wilmington, Del., next Tues- 

 day, Wednesday and Thursday, at the first tournament of the 

 Wilmington Gun Club, to be held on the Riverview baseball 

 grounds. The events, ten In number each day, are onen to all 

 comers, and everybody will shoot on the same plane. There will 

 be no favoritism, and each man will be obliged to win or lose on 

 Ms merits. From past experience with the Delaware people, I 

 am justified in saying that thrse who attend tbe shoot will be 

 accorded a hearty welcome and eiven a grand time by the mem- 

 bers and friends of the club. Tbe grounds are conveniently 

 located and are reached by the Riverview electric cars, which 

 carries its freight to the gates.

What astonishing assertions we do bear at times. Now we are 

 given to understand that in ibe western portion of this great and 

 glorious republic it is the strength and speed of a bird, not its 

 course, that makes it bard. In the vicinity of New York, where 

 there are a few men who shoot at live birds occasionally, it is con- 

 sidered t hat the course of a bird is a very powerful factor. No 

 one is foolish enough to say that tbe strength and speed of a bird 



are not factors, but still the shooters in the locality mentioned are 

 fain to say that they would much rather have a very fast straight- 

 driver or quarterer than to be compelled to pin their faith on a 

 bird of medium pace that persisted in periorming corkscrew 

 gyrations through the air. Coming down to sober earnest, New 

 York and New Jersey trap shots, claim that a man wbo cannot 

 "grass" drivers and quanerers is not a shooter. These men claim 

 that t he course of the bird comes first in consideration, and tbat 

 the strengtb and speed are secondary considerations.

A few excerpts from the lay press. You pays your money and 

 you takes your choice: 



* E. D. Fulford leaves on Monday for Utica, N. Y., where he is 

 to he married." 



"E. D Fulford has decided to remain in Chicago a few days 

 longer." 



"E. D. Fulford has decided to make Chicago his permanent 

 abiding place, and will shortly remove his family there."

Who will be the first man to post a forfeit for a 100-bird match 

 with Frank Class, the Pine Brook (N.J) expert? Frank tells mo 

 that be means business and wants to shoot any man in tbe world 

 for $250 a. side. This is a plump and plain offer, and should draw 

 something. If any one cares to take up the gauntlet, let them 

 send a forfeit to this office, and Frank says it will be covered 

 before it gets cold. He is shooting the race of his life and should 

 be able to shoot an interesting matcb against even the doughty 

 "Captain Jack."

 Cartridge Company of Cincinnati, for the ownership of an im- 

 portant pa' ent. on the most improved form of cartridge-loading

Virginia Pigeons at John Erb's. 



It is very seldom, indeed, that a party of shooters are obliged 

 to stop shooting on account of the scarcity of birds nn the "Old 

 Stone House" grounds, on Bloomfield avenue, Newark, N. J , but 

 last Saturday was an exemption to the general rule. John Erb 

 had a fair supply of birds early in the week, but they were all 

 used up by private parties. On Saturdav there were just 40 birds 

 in the coops, and these were Bhot before 2:30 P. M. After that the 

 small party present were prevailed upon by Captain Wm. Cran- 

 mer to wait until the New YorK and Bloomfield express reached 

 the place, when he. promised tbat thev should havesome rare fun. 



'-My trit-nd, Billy Ives, of Norfolk, Va„" said Captain Cranmer, 

 who runs a three-masted schooner between that part and New 

 York. -'sent me three boxes of Queen Anne pigeons, which reached 

 New York this morning. As son as I got on track of theral 

 ordered them sent up here, and expect to see them before 5 

 o'clock. You all know," continued the genial Captain, "that 

 your birds are all 'duffers,' soft, in fact, around this locality, and 

 that all the real hard ones are in the wild, weird, wooly, whistlirg 

 West, so of course you'll not expect to see real bard ones from 

 Virginia, but still 1 think they will keep you guessing." 



At 5:10 the Southern birds arrived; at 5:1*5 shooting recommenced, 

 and at 6.10, when the fun closed, over 100 birds bad been trapped. 

 The Southerners were a rattling good lot throughout, fome of 

 them being exceptionally fast and others most terriblv tricky in 

 their flight. Five events in all were shot during the afternoon, 

 each of them being at 5 birds, $5 entry, 2 monevs. The first two 

 were at Erb's birds and the last three at the "Cranmer importa- 

 tion." Below will be found the scores in detail: 



No. 1, No. 2. No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, 



Cation 22213-5 11201-4 11111—5 21112-5 12010-3 



Hollis 11111—5 12ol2-4 02212-4 10111—4 21ol2-4

Lindsley .... .... 210o3-3 o.3222 - 4 22212—5 



Erb .... 11312-5 12201-4 22211-5 



In event No. 3, Canon drew his pro rata of first money and the 

 others shot off their share in No. 4, the money finally going to 

 Castle and Cranmer. Canon, the famous one-armed expert was 

 shooting a great race despite the fact that on five consecutive oc- 

 casions when he pulled his first barrel on a bird both barrels 

 would gooff simultaneously. It can be understood that tbe ex- 

 plosion of seven drams of powder will cause somewhat of a recoil. 



The final shoot was a $1 mis? and out. with five entries. This 

 was a walkover for Cranmer who killed his first bird, all the 

 others missing. 



While the party were waiting Jfor the importation of Cranmer 

 birds the captain shot several Keystone matches. In the first he 

 tied with Canon on 8 breaks, tbe latter winning on tbe sloot-off, 

 Cranmer then defeated Castle in three matches at ten Keystones 

 each. 



Atlantic Rod and Gun Club. 



Some good birds were shot at by the members of this lively or- 

 ganization at West End, Coney Island, on March 17, when the 

 members of the Atlantic Rod and Gun Club had their semi-

 birds each between Richard Dwyer at 30yds. and F. W. Bauer at

Auburn Gun Club. 



Lawrence and Topeka. 



Topeka, Kan.— There has been some talk of a live bird match 

 between Lawrence and Topeka, ten men to team, but no definite 

 arrangements have been made as yet. It takes about as much 

 talk to get up a match bere as it doeB in Chicago. 



Three of our boys got bold of some pigeons not long ago and 

 took tbem out and shot them from one trap. They won't tell the 

 scores but the boy from whom they got the birds is still offering 

 some of them for sale. F. E. 



Auburn. N. Y., March 17. — Neither snow storms nor snow banks 

 will prevent the average. Auburn shooter from answering to roll 

 call when the time for a regular club shoot arrives. The attend- 

 ance at our club shoot Wednesday was fully up to the average, 

 and the sweepstakes were even larger than common. Trap-shoot- 

 ing interests m thi- part of the State are booming, and we learn 

 of the formation of new clubs all around us. Paul North has 

 arranged to give a day's shoot here March 31, when he will show 

 the boys bow he throws birds with his expert traps and his cele- 

 brated electric trap-pull. We expect, shooters from many parts 

 of the State, as this is the only shoot he will hold in tbis State at
