DRIVERS AND TWJSTERS. 



JuuGiKc from the present outlook this will be the liveliest sea- 

 son on rocord in trap shooting circles, and the quantity of powder 

 and shot expended, live birds and targets trapped will be enor- 

 mous. The dealers in live pigeons predict that while the prices 

 will be a little above the average, the supply will be plentiful and 

 the CLuality first-clasB, The late cold snap lias already added 

 alightiy to the cost of birds. 



Club shoots, club tonruaments, individual a,nd team contests 

 without number have been and are about to be arranged, and the 

 devotee of the sport who cannot get his fill of ruffling feathers or 

 smashing "crockery" must be a, gourmand. 



The event of events for the vicinity of New York, is, of course, 

 the contest to take place at Woodlawn Park on Saturday between 

 thoie giants of the smooth-bore, E. D. Fulford, of Bridgeport, and 

 John L. Brewer, of Hammonton. Not only New York, but the en- 

 tire shooting world as well is deeply interested in the outcome of 

 this event, which bids fair to be one of the greatest exhibitions 

 ever given. The conditions of the match call for 250 live birds 

 per man, 12-bore guns, 30yds. rise, strict Hurlingham rules, ex- 

 cept that the inclosure is to be the boundary. The stake is ,81.000 

 a side. The match will be called at 10 A. M. By special arrange- 

 ment boats will leave the foot of Whitehall street every hour 

 during the day, connecting with special trains on the Sea Beach 

 Ra'lroad, which has a station on the grounds. 



These men are conceded ou all sides to be in a class by them- 

 selves, the fact being proven by their marvelous work at Marion 

 on Nov. 13, 13 and 14, when Fulford kiUed 100, 99, 94 and 34 against 

 Brewer's 99, 9i5, 94 and 35 in three consecutive matches and a tie 

 shoot. For two men to face the traps for three consecutive days 

 and kill 633 out of 650 birds is sufficient to give them a classifica- 

 tion of their own. 



It has been said that the birds on the first and second days were 

 of inferior quality. Granting this, how many men are there in 

 this or any other country who could equal the above record even 

 if the birds, each and every one, were tied fast? But there will be 

 no cause for complaint as to the quality of the birds in Saturday's 

 match, provided of course that the weather is what it should be. 

 The birds are to be ftirnished by Mr. Brewer, and if "Captain 

 Jack" is not able to choose good flyers, the job need not be under- 

 taken by any one else. There is one point on which the lovers of 

 the sport can rest content, and that is, that the above match will 

 be shot strictly on its merits and that the best man will win. 



The Essex Gun Club, of Newark, will hold its monthly club 

 shoot for prizes at Marion, on thel7Dh inst, and a good time is ex- 

 pected as usual. In the competitions for prizes each man is rated 

 at a given nxtmber of points per shoot, and the member gaining 

 the highest number of ijoints above his allotment during the 

 season wins first prize. The members are also divided into three 

 classes- A, B and C— the first shooting at 30, the second at 28 and 

 the third at 30yds. rise. Thus far Lemtiel Thomas, who is rated 

 at 6. has a safe lea,d for first prize; Harry Smith bemg a good 

 second. This shoot will be open only to club members. The birds 

 will be furnished by Al. Heritage, "Old South Paw," and will be 

 of a quality to make the members shoot their best. 



The South Side Gun Club announces that it will hold its annual 

 open-to-all tournament at artificials on New l''ear'8 Day, on its 

 well-appointed grounds, near the coal chutes below the Emmet 

 street station, Newark, N. J. A fine programme of events will be 

 arranged, the object being to suit all comers. Plenty of ammuni- 

 tion of all kinds will be on hand, as will be an abundance of re- 

 freshments, liquid as well as solid. A feature of the day will be a 

 public trial of the Ilobart system of rapid firing, devised by my 

 old friend Wm. R. Hobart. who says the system is bound to be a 

 go, and will be more popular than any of the rapid-flring systems 

 now in vogue. 



Gus L. Freclie and Harry Smith, two well-known Kewark 

 shooters, will have a teat of .skill on the Marion grounds on the 

 17th inst., each man to shoot at 100 live pigeons, under Hurling- 

 ham rules, for a purse of $100. A few weeks ago _these men 

 came together in a 50-bird race. Smith killing 43 to Freche'a 39. 

 Gus was not satisfied with the result, hence the coming match, 

 Freche is a veteran at the business, bein^ an old member of the 

 Essex andNewa k gun clubs, and the liero of a hundred odd 

 matches, while Smith Is a comparative tyro, his §booting career 



having been started in January, 1891. Mdth the Essex Gun Club. 

 Up to the last four months he seemed unable to strike anything 

 faster than about a 75 per cent, pace, but since then he has been 

 shooting great guns. At the October shoot of the Essex be killed 

 42 out ot 44 birds and killed 34 of them straight witb his first 

 barrel. On Thanksgiving Day he killed 89 out of 43 birds. If he 

 IS in the above form on the 17th he will come very close to being 

 a winner. 



The big guns of the trap-shooting world have a chance to make 

 a neat little pot, provided they ca.n nerve themselves to cover 

 a bet offered by John Brb, the well-known proprietor of the Old 

 Stone House grounds on Bloomfleld avenue, Newark. Mr. Erb 

 says he will wager .$400 against $1,000 that no man can kill, on his 

 grounds, 94 out of 100 pigeons under the following conditions: 

 Mr. Erb to jiurnish the birds and to have notice at least two weeks 

 before the trial is to take place; the shooting to be governed by 

 Hurlingham rules, except that he will give the shooter the ad- 

 vantage of shooting from one instead of five traps; 12-gauge guns; 

 SOyds. rise. 



1 4^*I?'*'>'s that he will wager SdOO even that no man can 



lull Hb out of 100 pigeons, on his grounds, under same conditions as 

 above, except that they shall shoot from five traps. Who w^ants 

 .a piece of either of the above amounts? 



My old friend Neaf Apgar, the woU-known and popular sales- 

 man h; Henry 0. Squires, has furnished me with the following 

 description of the now W. W. t+reener hammer gun, which will 

 bo used by K. I). Fulford in his big shoot against J. L. Brewer on 

 Saturday. The gun was deliA'ei'ed at Squires's store on Thursday 

 night and Neaf describes it as "a beauty." It has two sets of 

 barrels, one for trap and one for field work. In shape for trap 

 work the gun weighs <ibs. 13oz. The barrels are 30in., full choke. 

 The stock is UJ^in. in length, with 3%in. drop at the butt and 

 iHm. drop at the cone. It is the highest grade gun made by this 

 noted firm and will fall into the hands of as good a man as ever 

 handled any gun. The loads to be used by Fulford are as fol- 

 lows: l-lrs. Schultze powder in both barrels; IJ^oz. No. 7 chilled 

 shot in right barrel and IMoz. No, 6 in left, the whole loaded in 

 Squires's tournament shells. 



The success which attended the recent series of shoots, held 

 under the auspices of the Trapshooters' League of Essex County, 

 N. J., gave a great boom to the smashing of crockery within the 

 confines of the county. As is known, the League comprised six 

 clubs, and each month a team shoot and individual tournament 

 was held on the grounds of one or another of the clubs, until each 

 one had received its share of the benefits. First prize for teams 

 w^as won by the Maplewood Gun Olub, whose team captured five 

 out of the six contests. At the conclusion of the series of shoots 

 the League was disbanded and a new organization was formed, 

 it being the intention of the projectors to ir elude in this all the 

 clubs in the seven counties comprising Northern New Jersey. 

 Recently, however, it has been deemed advisable to abandon this 

 plan and organize a League which shall be open to every elub in 

 the State. A few days ago 1 had a talk with Mr. W. R. Hobart, 

 the well known shooting man with Von Lengerke & Detmold, 

 who is an old-timer in devtsing schemes for the advancement of 

 trap shooting. Mr. Hobart's idea is to arrange a tournament on 

 one of the following plans: First, to form a New Jersey League, 

 each county to have a series of preliminary team contests for the 

 purpose of deciding upon the stronsost team in the county, the 

 leading teams to be afterward brought together in a series of con- 

 tests to decide the State championship. In this event the final 

 series of shoots would be held one in each county. His other plan 

 was to have a team of ten, twelve or fifteen men from each county 

 come together In a series of shoots for the State championship, 

 instead of holding the preliminary shoots as above. In case the 

 former plan should be adopted the teams would comprise Ave or 

 six men each. In either case it is intended that each man shall 

 shoot at twenty-five artificial targets, either Standard Keystones 

 or bluerocks. 



The plan for organizing a league ou either of the above lines 

 would be practically as follows: Every club affiliating would be 

 required to pay |3 as nn entrance fee and ten cents dues for each 

 member ou its roll. Previous to the beginning of a tournament 

 each club would pav into the league treasury the sum of $o (or 

 any other amount decided upon), the amount derived from this 

 latter source to constitute a fund tor the purchase of prizes for 

 teams and individuals according to the schedule adopted. 



After carefully considering the two plans outlined by Mr. 

 Hobart I am inclined to tnink that the one calling for county 

 teams would "freeze out" too many shooterr". In Essex county, 

 for instance, there are over a score of active gun clubs, and at 

 least seventy-five really expert shooters, four- fifths at least of 

 whom would be unable to take part in a contest under the second 

 plan. By adopting the first-mentioned plan every shooter in the 

 State could take part on one or another of the teams in the pre- 

 liminary series of shoots. I have been requested by the projectors 

 ot the affair to invite discussion on this subject and hope to hear 

 at an early date from every club in New Jersey. Any communi- 

 cations on the subject will be cheerfully accorded space in these 

 columns. 



The Boiling Sprincrs Gun Club announce that on Saturday they 

 will run an all-day's tournament at artifleials on their well- 

 appointed grounds at Rutherford, N. J., the main attraction to be 

 a big sweep at 50 targets per man, $5 entry. A big turnout of ex- 

 perts is expected. 



The Maplewood Gun Club will ruu a Xmas Day shoot on their 

 pretty grounds at the Maplewood station of the D. L. & W. R. R. 

 Shooting will begin at 9:30 A. M., the regular programme to com- 

 prise events at 10. 15, 20 and 35 targets. The special attraction will 

 be a team contest for a holiday dinner, to be eaten on New Year's 

 eve. 



Newarkers are looking anxiously for the appearance of a vol- 

 ume descriptive of the hunting experience of a well-known local 

 scribe and an equally well-known member of the shooting frater- 

 nity, who recently made an extended trip through Morris county, 

 N. J. Private advices credit the pair with having "begged" (I am 

 inclined to believe that my informant misspelled this word) three 

 partridges and one rabbit. The forthcoming book will be written 

 by the brother of the author of "The Hidden City," and will be 

 copiously illustrated. 



Considering the fact that there are 313 shooting days in the 

 year, it seems rather curious that so many conflicting dates 

 should be arranged for tournaments in certain localities. Re- 

 cently one of the Newark clubs arranged a two-days tournament, 

 publishing the dates fully a month in advance, notwithstanding 

 which another of the local clubs, less than a week before the 

 above tournament took place, came out with the announcement 

 of an all-day tournament, to be held on one of the dates claimed 

 by the club first mentioned. The result was a flat failure for 

 both affairs. The clubs should help one another whenever they 

 can and they can do this in no better way than by avoiding dates 

 already claimed in arranging their tourtaaments. As soon as a 

 date has been fixed on send it to Forest and Stream to be 

 placed among the fixtures. We aim to make the fixtures a com- 

 plete guide to all coming even's. 



I have heard a large number of sportsmen speak in the highest 

 terms of the manner in which they were treated by the firm of 

 Von Lengerke & Detmold during the recent busy season, in the 

 way of having their orders promptly filled. In one instance a 

 party rushed into the store at 11 A. M. and said that he wanted 

 fifty shells loaded with 48grs. of Schultze powder and loz. of No. 

 9 shot, but if he could not get them in fifteen minutes they would 

 be useless to him. At precisely 11:13 A. M. he had his cartridges 

 and left the store, although they had to be specially loaded. Little 

 instances of this kind, where trivial amounts are concerned, tend 

 to show the caliber of a firm. C. H. Townsend. 



The Murphy— Thompson Match. 



Am exclusive party was admitted to the grounds of the Carteret 

 Club at Bergen Point, last Thursday, to witness the match be- 

 tween Edgar G. Murphy and L. S. Thompson. The day was a 

 good one for the sport, but the bird.^ as a whole could have been 

 much better. The conditions of the match were 100 live birds per 

 man, SOyds. riee. 50yds. boundary, for a stake of $1,000 a side. J. 

 R. Hoey \va.?i referee and Justus von Lengerke scorer. Murphy 

 was looked after by Fred lioey, while W. B. Smith did the honors 

 for Thompson. 



Murphy is well known jis a veteran match shooter, while this 

 was Thompson's first appearance in anything but sweepstake 

 events. The former's friends had no trouble in having their bets 

 covered, and in consequence some !S 13,000 or more of Thomi)Son 

 money found its way into the pockets of Murphy's backers. 



Thompson won the toss and walked to the score first, killing a 

 straight driver by using- both harrels. Murphy followed with a 

 good first-barrel kill of a fast left-qiiarterer. At the end rM *he 

 twentieth, round the score stood 3U for Murphy to 14 for Thomp- 

 son, tbe latter losing 4 out of his first 10 birds. On the second 

 round the HBOESB stood 37 for Murphy, 33 for Thompson. On the 



next round Murphy gained one kill. On the fourth round Mur- 

 phy led by two birds; on the next round he gained two more, and 

 the score ended with 86 kills by Murphy against 83 by Thompson, 

 the former losing 7 and the latter 9 birds dead out of bounds. The 

 scores follow:

The Union Gun Club. 



SPKrNGPiEx.i>, N. J., Dec. 8.-For the last twelve months the 

 members ot the Lnion Gun Club have striven earnestly to roll up 

 good scores at the monthly shoots, the main attraction being a 

 gold and pearl medal valued at $30, this to go to the member win- 

 ning i t the greatest number of times during the season. There 

 were also four other prizes. Up to to-day E. D. Miller, R. H. 

 Breintnall and E. Collins had won it twice and R. Briant had 

 won it once. Tn-day's contest was therefore very interesting. 

 In this contest each member shoots at 20 singles and 5 pairs of 

 bluerock targets, ties being shot off at 3 singles audi pa,ir. As 

 this was the final shoot of the season Manager Miller combined 

 with it a good programme of open events, and offered two prizesjof 

 $S and 3 respectively for averages. Shooting began at 10:.30 and 

 was not concluded until dark. Among the visitors was Samuel 

 Lyon, president of the North Side Gun Club, of Maspeth, L. I. 

 C. H. Townsend, of Forest and Stream, was scorer. The results

Walnut Hill. 



Wai.not HiLi,, Mass., Dec. 3. — The exceptionally fine weather 

 of lo-day brought out a goodly number of trap-shots of the Ma-ssa- 

 chusetts Rifle Association to pa rticipate in the regular fortnightly 

 series of matches. The main interest was centered in the twelfth 

 competition in the gold coin match, in which there w.ts unusually 

 sharp rivalry. Messrs. Birrett, Black, Bowker and Choate were 

 tied for first place with 19 out of a possible ,'20 birds. In shooting 

 off the tie Mr. Barrett made a clean score of 15, which entitles 

 him to wear the champion gold medal until the next shoot. Mr. 

 Choate, who crowded Mr. Barrett very sharply, missing only one 

 bird, used a .o^g-pound, 30-gaiige gun. 



Twencv Keystone nirgets, squad t*v8tem of firing: Barrett 19,
