DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Some curious combinations are run foul of by those who travel 

 around the coimtry, and a full share of them come within the range 

 of the newspaper men who frequent trap tournaments. And some 

 of these combmations show how easily some people can be imposed 

 upon. A case in point has reference to a combination gun used by 

 a West Virginian during the Martinsburg tournament. This man 

 had a hai-d and close shooting gun, and between events he was heard 

 to say that "any man wbo shot anything but a Greener would be a 

 loser." Tom Keller inquired if the speaker used a Greener and re- 

 ceived an afiftrmative answer, the gun being handed over for his in- 

 spection. As Tom opened the gun a quizzical look o'erspread his 

 jolly features, and without saying a word he handed it over to "us'' 

 with the request that we name the make. Without a moment's hes- 

 itation we said "it's an L. C, Smith." And sure enough it was. It 

 appears that the owner of the gun had inqm'red for a second hand 

 Greener, without knowing the difference between that famous 

 maker's guns and a Winchester rifle. Some enterprising dealer in 

 second-hand guns being anxious to oblige the prospective buyer had 

 taken a second hand L. C. Smith gun, and after removing the rib 

 had fitted on a W. W. Greener rib and had also covered the "Smith 

 dog" on either lock plate with a small brass plate bearing the word 

 "Greener," and all these days the poor misguided buyer had been 

 flattering himself that he was blessed in the possession of an imported 

 gun. 



During the twelfth shoot of the Connecticut State League, at Willi- 

 mantle on Oct. 11, there was a meeting called to order by H. A. Pen- 

 rose and a State association was organized. The following offtcers 

 were elected; J. W. Webb, Willimaniic, President; H. A. Penrose, 

 New London, Vice-President; Allen Willey, Hartford, Secretary; P. 

 C. Fowler, Moodus, Treasurer, and a Board of Directors composed of 

 H. A. Penrose, H L. Edgarton, Willimantic: Mr. Bates, New Haven; 

 m-. Whittlesey, Hartford, and W. M. Thomas, Bridgeport. The name 

 of the association is the Connecticut State Shooting Association, and 

 tournaments -will be held annually. As all the offieers and directors 

 are active workers they expect to make this association second to 

 none. Where the first annual tournament of the association will be 

 held wUl be determined at a meeting to be held within the next sixty 

 days. 



At a meeting of the Lake St. Clair Fishing and Shooting Club at 

 the Russell House, Detroit, two resolutions were offered, to be passed 

 upon at the next regular meeting in January. One authorizes the 

 increase of membership in the club by five, and limits the amount of 

 their entrance fees. The other provides that the annual dues be in- 

 creased. The resolutions are intended to provide for the payment of 

 the club's indebtedness. The board was authorized to re-engage 

 Steward Dwight L. Whitney for another year. This action will be 

 received with delight by the members of the club generally, then- 

 families and friends, for Mr. Whitney has proven by his ten years' 

 service with the club that he is one of the most able as weU as popular 

 stewards in the country.
