DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



The programme of the New York State Sportsmen's Association is 

 at band, and a i\ ell edited, liaudsomely printed book it makes. The 

 programme of event,s is well arranged, and there are several valuable 

 lists of prizes to be contested for. Reduced rates of one and one- third 

 fare have been secured from all railroads leading to Rochester. Buy 

 a single-trip ticket to R'-'chester and get a rebate certificate from the 

 ticket ageut. At Rochester have the certifleate signed by the secre- 

 tary of the Rochester Rod and Gun Club and this will entitle .you to a 

 return ticket for one-tliird Iheregidar fare. 



The John P. Novell Arms Co., of Bostou. are making an effort to 

 stimulate the interest in trap-shooting throughout Maine, and have 

 offered a valuable badge to be competed for by teams of five men 

 each from any regularly organized gun club in Maine. The shoot will 

 be for teams of five men each, at 35 targets per man, .3 traps, known 

 angles. The first contest will he held on the grounds of the Bath Gun 

 Oliib, Thursday. June 8. The club will hold an all-day, open-to-aU 

 tournament in 'conjunction with team shoot. 



The Wopsononoek Shooting Park, headquarters of the Altoona (Pa.) 

 Rod and Gun Club, is the highest point in the Alleghany Mountains 

 and the magnificent views obtainable from there will repay any one 

 for the expenses of a trip. The Interstate Manufacturers' and Dealers' 

 Association will render the summit of -'Wopsy" more picturesque than 

 evei- on .Tune 31 and 23, when they pitch all their tents there. 



The following officers have been elected by the Baltimore fMd.) Gun 

 Club: John Heiir>' Keen, President: J. A. Williar, A^ice-President; J.

 lone, H. Lee Claris, Wm. A. Field: Captain, E. C. Hall. The president, 

 vice-president and board of directors will be the incorporators of the 

 club. 



All eyes will be turned toward Illinois next week, and the prospects 

 are that the State shoot wiU be a record breaker so far as attendance 

 is concerned. The programme Is certainly an enticing one and the 

 prizes well worth striving for. Look out for our report in issue of 

 Juue 15.

THE GREAT KNOXVILLE ANNUAL. 



Thrv were all there. They got there early and did not leave until 

 (he fun had ended. They came from Illinois, from the o ange groves 

 of Florida, from I he mosquito swamps of Jersey, from tlie Tar Heel 

 State of Neirlh Carolina, from AVashington. the city of magnificent 

 distances, from the ICeystone State, from Ohio, from Virginia, from 

 West Virginia, in fact, they came from aU over the country, and iollv 

 good-natured, luird-sliooticg crowd of heavy and middle-weights they 

 were. There were no light and feather-weights among them. Close 

 to ninety then- were on the grounds, all told, and not a mother's son 

 of Them but was able to strike an 85^ gait when inform. But as a 

 matter of eoni-se everybody is not in format all times, and some of 

 them reiiiaineu considerably below S5r; 



Of course, all the al;ove i-imbling relates to Knoxville, Tenn., and 

 the great ree.ii-d-breakmg tournament given by the Knoxville Gun 

 Club on May 3.^, 34 aud 3o. This you have gue.ssed long before reach- 

 ing this point. Long ago, as far back as N>:>vember, 1S93, vve told that 

 Ibe greatest tournament of im would be the one «iv«u by the Knox- 

 ville Gun Olub, aud the outcome of the slioot proves that what you 

 see 111 FoKE.sr and Stream is so : And iiow could it help being a great 

 shooty With such a hustler as Sommors Van Gilder to attend to the 

 correspondence with club.s, individuals aud papers is it any w^onder 

 that every rn.an, woman aud child in the country bad an interest in the 

 tournament? And aKani w kh the booming given it by Forest and 

 Stream, the only trap ijaper in America, how could it "help being a 

 success; Kvery ti ap shooter reads our columns and every one°of 

 them had implien. aith m our sratement that it would pay them to go 

 to Jvuoxville. An,l they went: And those who were able to bold up 

 anything like then' own torm carried away a goodiv store of shekels 

 and everyljoiiy carried away with them a most kiudh- feeling for the 

 Knoxvdlc tTinu. lub, anfl vo«-ed that in 1694, blow high or hlSw, they 

 would agam liic rUL-msWvcB to the town in East Tennessee to battle

 the warmest kind oc greetnig by Chas, B, Ros^ John ^V tvmiinr F A 

 Morns and President S. 15. Pow, allot the Knoxville ium Club Is 

 soon as our baggage was garhcred up we were hustled into a waU- 

 cab and driven to the Xew Schubert Hotel, the "only house in 

 KnoxviUe ' tor a sportsman to patronize. Here we received anoth^ 

 warm welcome trom proprietor ' UncJe Jim" O'Connor and ^^-lil 



Manager James W. Ftoch, whom we had met in '92. After a wash and 

 stroll along the banks of the Tennessee River we were ready for supper 

 which awaited us. After supper we were surprised to meet Col. J. T. 

 Anthony and E. R. Dodge, both of Charlotte, N. C, who had left Char- 

 lotte the same morning, while Mr. Summerson and Fobest and Stream 

 had taken nearly two days for the trip. These were the only shooters 

 to arrive on Sunday. During the evening a number of members of the 

 local club called at the hotel to extend greetings to the visitors. 



At an early hour on Monday morning those who had reached the 

 hotel on the previous evening meandered into the dining room for 

 breakfast and were surprised to find that they had plenty of company 

 in the way of shooters who had arrived on early trains, some at an 

 bom- long before daylight and some at 7 A. M. And every train 

 which arrived during the day deposited its quota of human freight at 

 the town. At 10 A. M. the register of the New Schubert Hotel showed 

 twenty -eight names, at noon it showed thirty, at 4 P. M. there were 

 forty "on the bst and over a dozen in town who had not yet registered. 

 All who were in town at noon went to the gun club grounds on Bell 

 avenue, near Lake Oteeseo, for a preliminary shoot and had a fine 

 time until time to quit for supper, A number of shooters who came 

 in during the afternoon took themselves directly to the grounds and 

 did not appeal- at the hotel until supper time. Later in the evening 

 the strength of the party was still further increased and bedtime the 

 register showed fifty-six names. On Tuesday mornmg the New Schu- 

 bert housed sixty-five, while four others were quartered elsewhere. 

 There are a number yet to be heard from and the Knoxville shooters 

 were happy, as the success of their shoot was assured 



It was jiist 9 A. M. on Tuesday when the first call of "pull" was 

 heard and at that time the weather was dubious, the air being heavy 

 and the clouds threatening. Soon after it began to rain at a lively 

 rate and the wind grew so strong and gusty as to cause a stopnage of 

 the shooting for an hour. Soon after li, however, the rain ceased, 

 "Old Sol" showed his shining face and from that time to Thursday 

 night there were no more clouds. 



The grounds of the Knoxville Gun Club are admirably situated on 

 top of a bluff on Bell avenue, about three and a half miles from the 

 center of the city, on the line of a finely equipped electric road run on 

 the Sprague system. The groundsVere splendidly equipped for the 

 occasion, nothing being left undone that could possibly add to the 

 comfort of the shooters or the success of the tournament. The fitrst 

 thing to meet the view of the shooter upon reaching the ground was 

 the storehouse of the club, this being divided iuto two parts, one part 

 being used as a shooting house. The entrance to the grounds is from 

 the northeast. On the southwest end of the shooting and storehouse 

 is an extension used for an office. To the left of this was the busiuess 

 tent of A.F.Smith, who dispensed all kinds of ammunition; then 

 came an immense marquee furnished with an abundance of camp 

 chairs and benches for the use of the shooters; still further to the left 

 was another big marquee, which at noon was the center of attraction 

 for all hands. This was the restaurant tent, Henry Miller, a well- 

 known Knoxville caterer, who served his viands in a manner that 

 called for commendation from all hands. Regular dinner cost 75 cents 

 and comprised about all that could be found in a well conducted hotel. 

 His material was of the best, and was splendidly cooked and served. 

 We have eaten so-called dinners on many shootmg grounds, but must 

 concede to Mr. Miller credit for serving better meals than we have 

 ever found elsewhere. 



The shooting was done from two sets of five traps each, the expert 

 trap, North electric pull and bluerock targets being used. The traps 

 were set according to the rules. 5yds. apart, the two sets being sepa- 

 rated hy the same interval. A blackboard stand and blackboard were 

 used for each separated set. The rules were barred as to distance, the 

 targets being thrown at least 70yds. and very low. This made ex- 

 tremely hard shooting, as is shown by the scarcity of clean scores. 

 The hustling for squads was done by Sominers Van Gilder, Rogers Van 

 Gilder, Frank Mead and Arthur Mead, and great was their work, once 

 things got down to smooth running, which was as soon as the rain 

 stopped. The feats accomplished by these men were phenomenal, and 

 from Tuesday noon until Thursday night there was little or no waiting 

 between squads. The office work was the wonder of the tournament, 

 and we regret not securing the names of the secretary and cashier, 

 who handled theu- books, the cash and eighty-five shooters with as lit- 

 tle concern as if simply taking a pleasure trip. Not once did either of 

 them show the slightpst sign of being flurried or worried, and no mat- 

 ter how large the crowd gathered about the window all were treated 

 courteously and all questions were promptly answered. It was a 

 pretty exhibition of systematic work and steady nerves, for shooters 

 are at times Ukelyto be exacting, particularly if "luck" is against 

 them. 



But now, while the boys are sma.shing away at the targets, we will 

 see who we have on the grounds. There is Rollo Heikes, representing 

 Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago, smiling-faced and good-natured 

 as ever and shooting the same cool gait as of old: Enoch D. MUler, the 

 farmer-shooter from Springfield N. J., representing the Parker gun 

 (he has used the same one for four years and it is still in perfect con- 

 dition), wood powder and Keystone targets; "Uncle Billy" Wagner, 

 the Washington, D. C., gun dealer and inventor of the Wagner rapid- 

 loading machine; Paul North, the Cleveland boy. ruddy -faced and 

 healthy-looking as ever and full of bluerock lore; Harvey McMurchy, 

 fresh from Lansing. Mich,, and a six- weeks' trip up and down the 

 Pacific coast, where he reports satisfactory sales of L. C. Smith guns 

 despite the general depression in business circles; "Dateby" Smith, of 

 Plainfleld, N. J., who came all the way to Tennessee "just to see the 

 boys and have some fun;" "Tee Kay" Keller, another pilgrim from 

 the Lansmg shoot, who is just finishing up a trip that he says has 

 given the "Climax" and U. S. .23 short a new boom; Wm. F. FeUes, the 

 genial boniface and dog and poultry fancier from Christiana. Pa., who 

 says he has "no ax to grind," but is always ready to shoot for sport; 

 Rene T. Clayton, the blue-eyed aud blonde-complected boniface of 

 the United States Hotel atTamaqua. Pa., who never loses an opportu- 

 nitj' to show the good points of his really excellent front "switch- 

 sight," which he declares will, on known angles, improve an amateur's 

 scores by at least 10 per cent. ; Henry Goodman, the good-looking 

 representative of the Bandle Arms Co., of Cincinnati; J. H. Hunter 

 and young Wm. Rothwell, both cracks from Washington, D. 0 ; Dr. 

 E. F. Waymau and Wm. F. Summerson, from Staunton Va.; "Rain- 

 bow" Thurman, of Germantown, Pa., famous for his Thui-man shoot-

hose addresses vve failed to secure. 



It was a great crowd and no mistake, a crowd which comprised the 

 creme de la creme of the expert and amateur shots, all of whom had 

 been attracted by the unusual enterprise of the clear-headed Knoxville 

 boys in adding ,fl,000 to their purses andin makingtfaeir entries larger 

 than usual. The matter of offering $1,000 in added money has been 

 the wonder of the trap shooting world ever since last October, when 

 Forest AND Stream exclusively announced the mtention of the club. 

 While the so-called "wolves" were there a-plenty, they by no means 

 were "cock of the walk." o^dng to the judicious forethought of the 

 management. The North handicap was used, but along with it was 

 introduced an innovation that pretty effectively prevented a man 

 from dropping in one event in order to shoot as an amateur in the 

 next. By the North handicap only the winners of those who tied for 

 first or second money in an event were advanced to known traps and 

 unknown angles in the next event. Under this system a .shooter who 

 could not get better than second place when shooting as an expert 

 could simply drop iuto third place, stiU get a fair share of the poi and 

 shoot as an amateur in the next event. Under the Knoxville system, 

 however, not only fir.st and second money men, but all those as well 

 who broke IV or more in an event (all events were at 30 singles) were 

 obliged to shoot in the succeeding event as an expert. Thus if a 

 straight was made the fourth money men were exported in the next 

 event and there was little or no chance for "playing for holes." The 

 system \\-tirkc.d satisfaetordy to all, even the most; rabid kickers 

 againsr tlie professionals being obliged to acknowledge that the ama- 

 teurs got as much money as they were entitled to by the scores they 

 made. 



Once the shower had passed by the shooting progressed rapidly, 

 squad following squad in quick succession. The foreground was a 

 fine, clear one, aud the targets showed up well, but the fact of the 

 ground being uneven in connection with tlie low aud swift flight of 

 the targets made the shooting extremely diliicult, as is shown bv the ' 

 fact that in seven events dm-ing the day onlv eight clean scores 'were 

 made, and six of these were made by men who cnu be classed as noth- 

 ing but amateurs. The only experts lo go straight were Heikes and 

 Ruble, once each. There were forty 19s made and thirty -three of these 



were made by non-professionals, oj men who do not sboot for busi- 

 ness. This does not look as though the "wolves" owned the camp. 

 When it comes to the point as to who gets the "bulk of the money," 

 during a three or four days' shoot it must be conceded that it goes 

 as a rule to the professional but what does this matter so long as the 

 average amateur, provided he shoots a fair gate, gets enough to pay 

 his expenses and leave him a balance? The man who serves a full 

 term at learning a trade is certainly entitled to highei- wages than an 

 apprentice, and by the same process of reasoning the man who for a 

 number of years spends bis time and money to render himself an ex- 

 pert trap-shot and who by virtue of this expenditure and by ambi- 

 tious work becomes sufficiently expert to be considered a fit represen- 

 tative of a gun or ammunition firm should by right be entitled to a 

 larger percentage of a pot than an amateur who has been at the sport 

 a week or a month. The experts do not always get the "big end of 

 the horn," as witness the experience of Rolla Heikes at Saratoga. 

 Durmg the four days he averaged over OS per cent. His winnings ag- 

 gre.gated about S75 while his railroad fare cost him fS?, in addition to 

 which must be added five days' hotel board, hack hire and other inci- 

 dentals. In the party at the Knoxville shoot— there were close to 

 ninety shooters on the grounds— at least four-fifths were amateurs, 

 that is to say, they were men who put in their own money, pav their 

 own expenses and have no business interests at stake. And of these 

 we consider ourselves safe in asserting that not one but has at one 

 time or another shot 85 per cent, or better. The.y expected to win 

 enough to pay their expenses, and it is natural tliat they should ex- 

 pect to do so. Were they disappoiuterl? Not one of tliem. Every 

 man in the party who caught his form aufl shot .•invrhin:^ like a fair 

 gait was perfectly satisfied vrith the outcome, while tliose who failed 

 to catch their gait and quit losers simply shrugged Iheir shoulders 

 and said "better luck next time." 



About noon it became apparent that in the arrauging of their pro- 

 gramme the Knoxville Gun Club had bitten off rather more than the.y 

 could chew. This was no fault of theirs, not a bit of it. but simply 

 the result of circumstances in sending to their sboot such a large 

 party. The first day's programme called for eight 20 target events, 

 one at 85 and three at 15 targets, an aggregate of 3;iO targets per man. 

 With an average of 70 entries to an event, this would have entailed 

 the throwing of 16,100 targets, an utterly impossible feat to accom- 

 plish with two sets of traps. The result was that when darkness 

 settled over the scene it found the contestants banging away in event 

 No. 8, the Chamberlain Cartridge company's four man team match at 

 25 targets per man, and this could not be finished, two squads being 

 left over to shoot on the following morning. This also cut off from 

 this day's shooting the club team race for the championship of the 

 United States as well as three 15-target events. It was thought by 

 some that the tournament w'ould have to be prolonged to four days, 

 but this could not be done as the majority of the visitors had arranged 

 their plans for a stay of three days only and could not alter them. 

 Hence it w^as decided to conclude the Chamberlain match on Wednes- 

 day morning, and cut out the balance of Tuesday's programme. 

 This met the approval of all, particularly so far as it concerned the 

 team match for the championship, there being only four or five com- 

 plete club teams on the grounds. 



During the da.y while strolling about the gi-ounds. chatting with 

 shooters we made it our particular businefss to inquire as to the senti- 

 ment in regard to the general management of the shoot and from all 

 we received the same answer, "perfect 1" and this is correct. Never 

 have we seen a shoot of this magnitude hantlled in such a sy.stematic 

 manner and with less apparent effort. From start to finish there was 

 no hitch nor grumble of any kind, everybod.y being in the best of 

 .spirits and the managing committee being affable and smUing to all, 

 despite their arduous duties. 



The leaders in the day's shooting for averages, in seven events, 140 

 targets in all were as follows: Heikes and R. Van Gilder 89,38 each- 

 McMurchy, Wright and Wagner 87.85 each; Landis 86.43, Todd and 

 Youug, 85 each; Barton, Jenks, Miller, Mitchell and Bldridge 84.21 

 each. Here we have four experts and nine amateurs coming in for 

 average money which same is not such a bad si' . in : r, ,;■ the ama- 

 teurs. Thejwerages paid glO. giS, S7, $6 audiif4 I , . . ' , 



In event No. 5 there were fourteen merchant; : . . , bjiven by 

 merchants and others, ties for the same being sliot lm: m i iie following 

 event. In our next issue we will pubUsh a full list of the winners of 

 these merchandise prizes, 



The shooting, as we have before stated, lasted until put a stop to hy 

 darkness, and'it was agreed that the teams which bad failed to finish 

 their scores should have the privilege of doing so at 8 A. M on the fol- 

 lomng day. It was 7 P. M. when the last shot was fired, and close to 

 8 before the party reached the New Schubert and made a rush for the 

 dining-room. By the time supper was disposed of aud some friendly 

 games of pool and bUliards bad been played, all hands were ready foV 

 bed, which they reached by 11 o'clock.
