DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Ohadwick's second midsummer shootine tournament will be held at 

 Culver Park, Marmont, Ind.. on Aug. 29, 30 and 31, and 8150 in cash 

 and merchandise will be added to the pm-ses. The events will be at 

 10, 20, 25 and 50 single targets. The programme speaks thus of the 

 spot where the shoot is to be held: Culver Park is located on the 

 north bank of Lake Maxinkuckee. one mile from Marmont Station on 

 the Vandalia Railway, 33 miles south of South Bend," 33 miles north of 

 Logansport, and 75 miles east of Chicago. It is one of the flnest sum- 

 mer resorts in the State, with its refreshing and health-giving mineral 

 waters, its shady nooks and cooling breezes, and its superb facilities 

 for rowing, fishing and sporting of any kind. All who wish rest, 

 health and comfort should attend the second annual midsummer tour- 

 nament. Mr. Culver has spent thousands of dollars in improvements 

 on these grounds, which consists of Culver Park Hotel, the big Taber- 

 nacle of Sam Jones and Talmage fame, inuumei-able pools, bowers, 

 walks, shrubs and flowers. Come prepared to stay a week or two at 

 the best summer resort in Indiana. 



The second annual shoot of the' Crescent Park Gun Club was 

 held on July 4 at Sioux City, low^a, live birds and inanimate targets 

 being used. The results of the matches were as follows: Ten single 

 •clays, entrance $1, 8 moneys; Lyon 7, Pecaut 9, Sweet 7, Burgers,

Live bird shooters will be interested to know that during the second 

 or third week in September the,y will again have an opportunity to 

 test their skill and nerve on the splendid Paterson (N. J.) shoot- 

 ing grounds known as Williard's Park. The shoot will be at 25 

 live birds per man, $25 entry, Hurhngham rules to govern, the money 

 divisions to be as usual. As an additional incentive a trophy to cost 

 $50 will be put up, this to be shot down to a finish by the high guns. 

 It is hoped that this incentive will bring entries from a number of 

 Pennsylvania and New York experts as well as those in New Jersey. 

 Williard's Park, in the opinions of the seventeen men who tooli part 

 in the 20-bird sweep on July 6, has the finest shooting ground in the 

 East, the field being almost perfectly level, the background perfect 

 and with abundance of shade for contestants and spectators. 



Detroit, Mich., July II.— Please change dates of the Manufacturers' 

 Trap-Shooting Association, at Wheeling, from Aug. 2 and 3 to Aug. 1 

 and 2. A large attendance is assured. The pleasant location and the 

 SlOO a day and trophy given by the association is sufficient assm-ance 

 of a good attendance. Mr. J. A. Penn writes that shooters are com- 

 ing from Parker sburg, Pittsburgh, Columbus and other neighboring 

 cities. The dates at AUentown, Pa., will be Sept. 12 and 13.— John 

 Pakkbr, Manager M. T. S. A. 



The Hazleton Gun Club, of Hazleton, Pa., wUl hold a tournament on 

 Aug. 3 and 4, the programme to include both live bird and target 

 events. The club will oft" er IglOO to any two men 1n Philadelphia who 

 will defeat R. T. Clayton and partner in a race at 25 five birds per 

 man. Mrs. M, F. Lindsley ("Wanda") has been asked to give an exhi- 

 bition during the tournament. The shoot will be under the manage- 

 ment of Messrs. Clayton and Cooper. Hazleton is a town of 15,000 in- 

 habitants and is full of enthusiastic shooters. 



By some unaccountable error a curious transposition of names took 

 place in our last issue. On page 43 were ijrinted, side by side, bait-tone 

 portraits of Charles Smith, the famous "Dutehy," of Plainfield, N. J., 

 and of the 63-year-old field and trap shot. Samuel Castle, of Newark, 

 N. J. Mr. Castle's name appeared under the picture of Mr. Smith and 

 vice versa. We sincerely hope that no harm has been wrought by the 

 transposition. 



There is a rumor that William Tell Mitchell, of Lynchburg, Va.. and 

 Neaf Apgar, of Plainfield, N. J., may soon come together as oppo- 

 nents in a match at 100 live birds each for ,8250 a side. Both of tlaese 

 men are shooting in fine form and a contest between them would be 

 ■worth traveling a long way to witness. So far as skill and nerve are 

 concerned there is little if any choice. 



The North Parma Gun Club, of Rochester, N. Y.. has changed its 

 name to the Manitou Rod and Gun Club. The new officers are: Pres., 

 John Louden; Vice-Pres , Theodore Lane; Sec'y-Treas., T. H. Mc- 

 Guire; Capt., Clai'ence Lane. The club is ready to receive challenges 

 from any in the State. 



D. Nish has been elected secretary of the National Gun Club, of 

 Elgin, 111., in place of D. A. Riddle, who has removed to another town. 



W. J. Mann has resigned the position of secretary of the Rochester 

 Rod and Gun Club and N. C. Fulton has been elected to fill the 

 vacancy. 



Plainwbll, Mich., July 4.— The following scores were made to-day 

 by members of the Plain well Gun Club, shooting at 25 targets each- 

 S. B. Negus 20, O. F Burroughs 19, J. H. Madden 19, R. L. Sbule 14, S 

 Heath 13, F. Heath 12, C. Machemer 9, G. Gilkey 4. 



PLAiNWELb, Mich., July 7.— Inclosed find scores of the last shoot of

 Madden 18, F. Heath 15, S. Heath 14, J. W. Gilkey 14, S. B. Negus 13, 

 Geo. Gilkey 9, Wm. Cox 6. 



The team match between the CUfton Gun Club, of Staten Island 

 and the Newark Gun Club has been psstponed until fall. By that time 

 the Newarkers will have thoroughly mastered the obsolete rules under 

 ■which the match will be shot. 



Harry Matz wites us that the summer tournament of the Reading 

 Shooting Association will be held at the Three- Mile Hruse, on Aug. 15 

 16, 17 and 18, both targets and live birds to be used.

Close Work in the Jersey League. 



The members of the New Jersey State Trap-Shooters' League had 

 splendid weather for their sixth monthly team contest, held on the 

 grounds of the South Side Gun Club, in Newark, on Tuesdaj^ July 1 1 

 These grounds which are situated on the edge of the Newark meadows' 

 below the Em l ett street station of the Pennsylvania railroad, afford 

 a good background and on this day there was scarely any breeze to 

 Interfere with the flight of the bluerock targets. All the shooting was 

 done from one set of traps, this necessitating an entire stoiipage of' 

 sweepstake shooting while the team match was iu progress. Had 

 there been two sets of traps as announced, there would have been 

 many more targets thrown. 



The South Side Gun Club had arranged a good programme of events, 

 all at 15 targets each, SI .50 entry, and these were well patronized froni 

 the commencement. I. D. Terrill and W. R. Hobart had charge of the 

 management and did their work in good shape. The club had pro- 

 vided a large marquee for shelter for the shooters and in one end was 

 a supply of soft drinks, sandwiches and ice cream. Dinner was eaten 

 at Brauer's Hotel, a couple of blocks from the grounds. 



The attendance of State team shooters was good and quite a number 

 of spectators were on hand during the afternoon. Among the visitors 

 was the genial H. L. Edgarton, the well kuo^^Ti expert from WiUi- 

 mantic, Conn., who shot in his usual great form and received a warm 

 ■welcome from the Jerseymen. 



The team race was for teams of five men each, at 25 bluerock targets 

 per man, and a hot race it was between three of the teams, the'Unions 

 of Springfield finally crossing the wire a bare break ahead of the 

 South Sides and Maplewoods. Major J. M. Taylor was referee and 

 "Uncle Jake" Pentz scorer of the team race. Below are the scores of 

 the day:

Central Gun Club Tournament. 



DuLUTH, Minn., July 6.— The first annual tournament of the Central 

 Gun Club of Dilluth, Minn., was held on tlieir club grounds JUly 4 

 and 5, as per arrangements made but a short time previous. For the 

 information of those not acquainted with the head of the lakes as a 

 trap shooting field, where once one participates in a tournament they 

 will always cherish a desire to return, a brief history of our flourish- 

 ing young organization will not be out of place. This club was organ- 

 ized March 8, with 19 charter members, of whom, with but few excep- 

 tions, some never saw a trap and the others were never in trap shgot- 

 ing contests. To-day we have nearly 50 members, and additions are 

 being made at every monthly meeting. 



Our club house and grounds, which can be reached by water in small 

 craft or large steamers or by rail, are located seven miles from the 

 city, in a pretty valley about four blocks from Spirit Lake, one of the 

 picturesque lakes for which Minnesota, in the vicinity of Lake Superior, 

 is noted, and here our members meet weekly to practice on the festive 

 bu-ds. How diligently they have labored and how well they have done 

 we will leave to the reader's good judgment, by the appended full 

 scores of otir tournament, in which three-quarters of the entries were 

 club members. 



Those who took part and witnessed the shoot from otltside dubs 

 and cities were Mr. Genevey, wife and daughter, of Minneapolis; 

 Messrs. Duke, of St. Paul; Cameron of Owen Sound, Ont.; Heneage,Of

 of Duluth. 



The first day dawned raining hard, but those who had previously 

 determined to take part were all on hand, and by 30:30 A. M. the rain 

 had stopped, the tourney opened, Genevey to the score, and from the 

 time the first shot was fired until the close ef the two-days' shoot the 

 noise would do credit to any Fourth of July demonstration ever held 

 in this city. It continued dark and threatening all day, but rain did not 

 interfere with the contestants uotil the end of the sixth event, and 

 only long enough then to give the boys, who were warmed up from a 



f:ood day's work, a little rest and clearer sliy for the last event. The 

 eatures were Day and Dodge's straights and Genevey's quick actions 

 on doubles with his Spencer repeater. With a good night's rest and 

 dreams of all straights, the boys arose and faced an ideal sky for the 

 second closing day of the tournament. There were many more }5res- 

 ent than on the previous day. 



During an intermission several different views of the grounds with 

 those present were photographed. The features of the day were 

 Day's straight In the last event, thus opening and closing his tourna- 

 ment with straights, and Proctor's double from one trap, killing his 

 bird and accidentally hitting a cow in the ear, doing no harm to the 

 animal, however, owing to the distance. 



The excellent working of the bluerock traps^ which were operated 

 by the electric pull, was the admiration of everybody, not a moment's 

 delay was occasioned and but few birds broken, but through no defect 

 in them, and it was hot necessary to change traps during the two 

 days. 



The rapid-firing system was the manner of hustUng the squads 

 through, and it was rapid, too, to which the event clerks and scorers 

 will testify. Too much praise cannot be given our president. Mr. J. 

 W. Nelson, and his committees for their hard work in making the 

 tournament such a grand success. Our visitors were profuse in their 

 compliments of their treatment while here, and the manner in which 

 every detail was carried out as i)er programme witbout a hitch. 

 Altogether it was a jolly and interesting meeting, which we hope will 

 result so annually. 



Our first medal shoot, which occurred on the Thursday previous to 

 the tournament resulted as follows: Club medal 25 singles: Dodge 19, 

 Pearson 16, Nelson 15, Owen 14 Moore and Green 12. Day 11, Dewar 

 and McDonald 9, Proctor 8. Hulberg Brothers' medal, 15 singles, un- 

 known angles: Nelson and Dodge 9, Pearson 7, McDonald and Moore 

 5, Day and Owens 4. Dewar, Proctor and Green 2. Nelson won on 

 shoot off. These medals will be contested for on the last Thursday of 

 each month. The club medal, if won by the same marksman in three 

 successive shoots, becomes his property. The Hulberg Brothers' 

 medal wiU be worn by the holder only so long as he can defend it. 

 Both are very handsome sohdgold souvenu-s and will add much inter- 

 est to the club contests. H. L. Heisler, Si c.

Mr. Mitcbell Claims the Championship. 



Lynch Station, Va., July 10.— Editor Fwest and Stream; Sometime 

 since in your presence at Charlotte, N. C, I challenged Mr W F 

 Summerson, of Staunton, Va., for the cup he held, emblematic of the 

 championship of Virginia at target shooting, which he accepted and 

 promised to name an early date for the race. On my return from 

 Knoxville I -wrote him, only to receive a special plea for timt- and as 

 the rules governing this cup said the holder must deff-nd it once a 

 month if challenged, I did not think he had any right to cbanKf them 

 and so informed Mr. Summerson, and also that I would expect him to 

 complj- with the rules or forfeit the cup, and thinking hnu nuld not 

 shoot, unless forced by pubUc opinion, I sent you the challenge that 

 was published iu your journal. After using every means in his power 

 to ]iORtpoue indefinitely the match he has'at last made a complete 

 backdown and forfeited the cup and title, but so far clings to the 

 cup with a death-like grip; hence I think the shooting shooters of our 

 State had better make him a present of the cup, retiring it from com- 

 petition, and inscribing on it: "Held by W, F. Summersbn by friendly 

 intervention and pleading the invaUd act until presented to him by the 

 shooters of Virginia, who recognized his worth as a man but not as 

 a shot." 



Truly these champions are wonderful men, and were they to display 

 as much skill m handhng their guns as they do in shifting otit of 

 matches they would be invmcible, w. Tell Mitchjill.
