DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



In the city of Paterson, yclept the "Silk City," are some half a 

 dozen sportBmen, and enthusiastic to the core over anything pertain- 

 ing to snooting in the field or at the trap, and who are working won- 

 ders in the way of imparting their enthusiasm to others It was 

 these men who succeeded in organizing the Paterson Gun Club— an 

 organization, by the way, which bids fair to rank among the strongest 

 in the country — and it was by their efforts that over a score of Pater - 

 sonians were interested in live bird and target shooting, aud induced 

 to beeome members of the gun club. It was through their efforts 

 also that Willard's Park was brought to public notice, this place- now 

 being classed as one of the finest shooting grounds in America, While 

 the majority of these confine themselves to club and tournament, 

 there are others who are ever ready for an individual match^ and 

 among these may be mentioned Thomas W. Morfey, T. C. Wright and 

 Henry Wolfe. In our last issue we announced the dates and condi- 

 tions for five live bird matches to be shot by Mr. Morfey against five 

 different men, and now we have to announce that on March 20 he will 

 shoot his long deferred and much discussed match at 25 targets 

 against Ohas. F. Lenone of Passaic at Willard's Part. The conditions 

 will be unknown traps and angles for $10 a side, and this stake, by the 

 way, has been resting in our pocket ever since last November, await- 

 ing the outcome of the match. We hope that on March 20 the money 

 will find an owner. Another of the enthusiasts, Henrv Wolfe, is also 

 billed to shoot a match against Mr. Lenone against 50 live crows each 

 80yds. rise, 80yds. boundary, for $50 a side, this match also to take 

 place at Willard's Park. On Wednesday, March 14, at the same place, 

 Mr. Morfey and T. C. Wright will try conclusions at 50 live birds each 

 at $50 a side, 28yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, otherwise Hurlingham 

 rules. This kind of business keeps the. ball rolling at a lively rate and 

 will go a long way toward increasing the interest in trap shooting in 

 this place. 



On Feb. 27, tha Massachusetts Shooting Association held a well- 

 attended tournament on the Marblehead Gun Club grounds 

 About 4,000 targets were thrown. In the contest for the State Cham- 

 pionship, for teams of three men at 10 targets per man, there were 

 eleven teams, the Boston Shooting Association winning with 24 

 breaks. The scores: Atlantic Shooting Association, fBowlby 3, Camp- 

 bell 2, Brown 8;, 15; Boston Shooting Association, first team (Francis 

 7, Sanborn 8. Eager 9), 24; Boston Shooting Association, second

Douglas. Wyo., March 1.— Last evening some of the lovers of sport 

 with the shotgun met and organized the Douglas Gun Club with a 

 membership of twelve. Officers were elected as follows: President. 

 Dr. M, Jesurum; Vice-President. H. G. Peters; Secretary, Geo. Dixon; 

 Treasurer, M. C. Barrow. The necepsary traps and bluerocks have 

 been ordered and the club proposes to have frequent regular shoots. 

 Every effort will be made to get up a team "of four or six to meet a 

 like number from any of the neighboring towns. Among the members 

 is a lady. Mrs. M. C. Barrow, who has proven herself a worthy and 

 capable devotee to sport with the shotgun. She has long made it a 

 practice to accompany her husband on his trips after the whirring 

 stge-grouse or the swift-flying mallard, and great is the number of 

 birds that has fallen to her 20-bore. The boys will have to look sharp 

 and aim well or she will take the high place away from some of them 

 at the traps.— De. Jes. 



The Marion Gun Association, of AVest Manayunk, Pa., held its 

 monthly shoot on Feb. 27, at Bohlen's Park, thirty six members being

 Timons and Felton were winners of the class medals. 



John C. Glenn and Benjamin Glenn recently netted 1,500 crows, 240 

 in one day, on the meadows adjoining the House of Correction, along 

 the Delaware River, near Holmesburg. This is considered one of the 

 best places in that section for catching crows. They are caught in a 

 net about 30ft. long and 12ft. in width. It is placed between strong 

 hickory spring poles, set 100ft. apart, and bent backward, so that the 

 net lies flat on the ground some distance from the bait. Chunks of 

 meat are laid at a point the net will cover when sprung. When the 

 hungry crows congregate on the bait to feed, the net is sprung by the 

 trapper from a blind, 300ft distant, by means of a line which reaches 

 from the trigger to his bower. They are sold for 25 cents a pair. 



St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 24.— The local trap-shooters are looking with 

 great anticipation toward the coming trap-shooting tournaments and 

 competition that will be held here in St. Louis. Mr. J. L. Winston, 

 the local expert shot, on behalf of the Trap-Shooters' Association, 

 made arrangements for the use of Compton Avenue Park for shoot- 

 ing on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons through the entire 

 sea«on. The association will put in a dozen electric traps and pulls, 

 and beside the beautiful trophy, emblematic of the Illinois and Mis- 

 souri championship, valuable prizes have been put up for the opening 

 shoot on March 24. Very little has been done in the way of trap- 

 shooting in St. Louis and this is the first step in the right direction to 

 get things started. 



J. Frank Kleinz, of Philadelphia, and Harry E Buckwalter, of 

 Royersford, shot a 50-bird match for $100 a side, at the latter place on 

 Feb. 24, in the presence of a large number of spectators. The match 

 took place at Elk Park. The birds were an extra strong lot and were 

 helped by a very strong quartering wind. Buckwalter was erratic at 

 the outset, and on the thirtieth round had killed only 19 birds, while 

 Kleinz had killed 26. Out of the last 21 Buckwalter killed all, while 

 Kleinz lost 3, the match ending with 44 kills for Kleinz, to 40 for 

 Buckwalter. 



In the near future there will be shot at Willard's Park, Paterson, a 

 sweepstake at 25 live birds, $20 entry, including the birds, three or 

 four moneys, 28 and 30yds. rise, 50yds. boundary, otherwise Hurling- 

 ham rules. If such well-known experts as Brewer, Elliott, Fulforn, 

 Class, etc., enter, they will be obliged to shoot at 32yds An admission 

 fee will be charged, and the entire sum derived from this source will 

 be added to the first money. Full particulars will be given within a 

 fortnight.

 chief duty of Mr. Hobart. Sportsmen at large will unite with us in 

 wishing "Billy" God-speed in his new venture. 



It is reported that M. Journu, the French pigeon crack, sold his 

 gun, with which he had won so many big prizes in the last nine years, 

 to Count Zichy for $750 and a new gun. This is the gun with which 

 Count Zichy won the Grand Prix at Monte Carlo this year. From the 

 moment he parted with his old weapon Journu is said to have shot in 

 poor form, while Count Zichy used it and won the first prize in the big 

 annual shoot. 



To have five of their guns used in a 25-bird contest and have them 

 finish in one, two, three, four order, is a record of which any firm may 

 be proud, yet this is the record made by the Parkers at Marion on 

 Feb. 27, when they took first alone, second alone, one divided third 

 with a Greener, and two were in fourth place along with an L. C.

O. H. Townsend. 



Fulford vs. Class at Morristown. 



Nearly two hundred people, mostly residents of Morristown and 

 vicinity, passed through the gates of the Morristown Driving Park on 

 the afternoon of Saturday. March 3, to witness the match between 

 E, D. Fulford of TJtica, and Frank P. Class of Morristown. The day 

 was delightfully warm, and until late in the day ulsters were not 

 needed. It was about 2:30 when the match began, the conditions 

 being E0 live birds per man, 30yds. rise, 40yds. boundary. It was the 

 original intention to shoot at 100 birds eacn, but owing to the scarcity 

 of birds the conditions were altered as above. John Riggott of Rock- 

 away was referee and C. H. Townsend scorer. 



Class went first to the score and with a good first stopped a fairly 

 fast left quartering driver, Fulford getting one in the same direction, 

 on which he used both barrels to kill. Fulford scored the first loss 

 when he got an awfully fast right-quartering driver that changed 

 direction with every flirt of its wings; he hit it hard, but it carried the 

 loads just beyond the line. His eighteenth was precisely the same 

 as above in flight and direction, and got away with the loss of a 

 few feathers only. From this to the forty-seventh round he killed 

 straight, but on the next round he caught a peculiar bird. When he 

 called "Pull!" No. 5 trap went over, but no bird went out, the occupant 

 of the trap lying partly on its side and giving everybody the impres- 

 sion that it had been shot by a glanciDg pellet of shot. "Scotty," the 

 agile trapper, went out to refill the trap and found the bird was alive, 

 when he moved out to the front and flushed it. Quick as a flash the 

 bird started off straight to the front, zigzagging in course, and 

 keeping "Scotty" in a line with the shooter until it had gone at least 

 20yds. from the trap, when it swerved and gave Fulford a chance to 

 shoot, missing it of course Had birds been plentiful he would not 

 of course have taken the bird, but at this time it was a case of neces- 

 sity, as there were just enough birds left to carry the shoot through. 

 Fulford closed with 47 kills. 



Class's first streak of bad luck was on his eleventh round, when a 

 twisting right-quarterer fell dead over the line. This bird was hit hard 

 with both barrels but was tough. His next bird was an awfully ugly 

 twisting driver that was hit. hard with the first but jumped out of the 

 second and went "over the hills." His thirty-sixth bird was hit very 

 hard with the first barrel but on this bird Frank put in one of his 

 bang-bang seconds, the result as usual being that the charge struck 

 the ground not less than 5yds. behind the bird which was a low-flying, 

 right quartering twister, and very fast. This was his last loss, and 

 he ended with 46 kills. 



The birds were a mixed lot, just the class in fact to fool the shoot- 

 ers, two or three "duffers" being followed by the same number of 

 rattling fast birds and then back again to slow ones Some were as 

 good as ever left a trap. Both men were credited with some extra 

 fine shots. 



Class's third bird was a fast, tricky twister; his seventh was one of 

 the low-flying dippers that fool almost any one and was cleverly stopped 

 with a neat second; his fourteenth hung after the trap was pulled and 

 then made a tremendous spring, which nearly fooled Frank, but he 

 managed to cut it down with a pretty first; fifteenth, very fast, tower- 

 ing driver; twenty-ninth and thirty-first, both white birds, very fast 

 and tricky in flight; thirty-second hung on trap, then started off fast, 

 got first, but fell out of second, flew over trapper's head or would 

 have been killed much quicker; thirty -fourth, awfully fast twister; 

 thirty ninth, no bird, afterward went out in field and was shot by Ful- 

 ford at full 60yds. while on ground; fortieth, no bird; forty-third, trap- 

 per got in the way and was given another bird; forty-fifth, an extra 

 fast towering incomer. 



Fulford's third, fourth and seventh were very fast; tenth and twelfth 

 had to be put up; sixteenth, one of the fastest of the day and a tricky 

 flyer, which caught the second barrel in time to keep it from crossing 

 the boundary; twenty -first, extra fast and killed with quick first; 

 twenty-ninth, walked several yards, then resolved itself into a "hum- 

 mer;" thirty-second, light bird, fast and low; thirty-third, fine second 

 on a fast zigzagger, very fast; thirty-fourth, dog went out and gath- 

 ered bird before Fulford had time to shoot; fortieth, extra quick, tow- 

 ering twister, good second, just when needed; forty -second, started to 

 right quarter and just as first was fired, dived to the left, when Ful- 

 ford showed good judgment by letting it straighten before using his 

 second, which brought it to grass. 



Class used a Francotte pigeon gun and Fulford a hammer Greener, 

 both using E. C. powder.

Col. Courtney Wins the Medal. 



The monthly competitions for the diamond medals of the Onondaga 

 County Sportsman's Club, of Syracuse, took place at Maple Bay. on 

 March 1, there being a big turnout of members and spectators and the 

 weather conditions being fine. Each man shot at 50 targets, known 

 traps and unknown angles for the three diamond class medals. A 

 feature of the day was the shooting of the ever popular, ever genial 

 A. G. Courtney, agent of the Lefever Gun Co., wtio pulled out the 

 splendid total of 48 breaks, this giving him the right to hold Class A 

 medal for the month. "Court," however, had no "walkover" in
