DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 



Apropos of Acton's Park, we wonder how many are likely to forget 

 their experience there during the March, 1892, tournament of the 

 Inter-State Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association? Not many, we 

 vow! We remember with pleasure the trip from New York to the 

 Monumental City on one of the "Royal Blue" trainB, the party com- 

 prising R. H. Breintnall, E. D. Miller, Frank Mason, H. A. Penrose and 

 Neaf Apgar, along with the trap editor of Forest and Stream. In 

 Baltimore the party put up at the Clarendon, where on the morning 

 scheduled for the first day's shoot some thirty shooters were on 

 hand. During the night, however, the rain bad begun to fall audit 

 continued to do so until late in the afternoon of the first day, the 

 result being that no shooting was done. The second day was pleasant 

 and so were the early hours of the third day. Shortly before noon, 

 however, there came a sudden and startling change, the temperature 

 dropping about 20°, the wind beginning to blow a gale from the north- 

 east, bringing along with it one of those North Dakota snowstorms 

 which cut like a knife. This las'ed for perhaps twenty miuutes, then 

 for a time there was a hailstorm with hail stones big as pigeon eggs. 

 In a quarter of an hour this changed to a pouring, cold rain which 

 quickly found its way through those of the tents left standing and 

 drenched the contents and occupants. At 1 o'clock all hands went 

 to dinner, furnished by Sam Acton, hoping that by the time the meal 

 was finished there would be a clear-up. The bope was vain, however, 

 as before 2 o'clock the rain had given place to a large-flaked, wet and 

 sticky snow, which lasted the rest of the day. The electric car line 

 which now connects the park with the city was not then completed, 

 stage and back drivers could not be persuaded to drive out to the 

 park, and so the poor, misused members of tbe party were obliged to 

 foot it across to Patapsco on a bridge over a mile in length and with- 

 out an inch of shelter from end to end. It was a journey which we 

 can assert none of the party care to repeat. And they are not likely 

 to be obliged to in April. 



Philadelphia, Pa.. March 6.— On Easter Monday the Forest Gun 

 ■ Club will give an all-day shoot on their grounds, Twenty-seventh 

 street and Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia, under the American Associa- 

 tion rules. Sluerock targets and expert bluerock traps will be used.

Princeton, N. J., March 10. — The Princeton University Gun Club is 

 making active preparations for the intercollegiate gun meet, which will 

 be held this year at Princeton some time in May, presumably the 4th. 

 The meet will be held on the gun club grounds in Stockton Field. The 

 Yale, Harvard and University of Pennsylvania will be invited to send 

 teams to the meet. The club maybe said to date its intercollegiate 

 existence from May 24, 1892, when tbe Yale Club defeated it at Prince- 

 ton by a score of 92 to 89. No meet was held during 1881* but in 1892, 

 at New Haven, Princeton won first place, with Yale second and Har- 

 vard third. Last year the meet was held at Cambridge, resulting in 

 Harvard first, Yale second and Princeton third. It is hoped that the 

 University of Pennsylvania will send contestants this year to the 

 Princeton meet. 



Paterson, N. J., March 10.— The annual election of officers of the 

 Pleasure Rod and Gun Club was held on March 3 and resulted as fol- 

 lows: President, Mart Breen; Vice-President, Richard Miller; Record- 

 ing Secretary, John Greer; Financial Secretary, Louis Fachler; Treas- 

 urer, Geo. Wehnert; Captain, Paul Breen; Director, Wm. Marshall. 

 Tbe feature of the meeting was the presentation of a badge to Andrew 

 Wehnert for his excellent marksmanship. The club will hold its an- 

 nual camp this summer at Cooper's Point, Greenwood Lake. 



Maplewood, N. J., March 8.— The Maplewood Gun Club have decided 

 upon Thursday, March 22, as tbe date for tbe next shoot of the New 

 Jersey State League. The club has arranged to give a first-class all- 

 day shoot on that date. Business will begin at 10 o'clock A. M. and 

 continue all day. We have arranged an attractive programme and 

 will keep the crowd moving. Shooters from New York can get trains 

 on the D. L. & W. R. E. at 8:30, 10:10, 11:10 A. M. and 1 :30 P. M. Same 

 trains leave Newark 30m. later. Hacks will meet all trains at Maple- 

 wood station. — Mohegan. 



W. Edward Wick sends us this: A brawny farmer presented himself 

 at a country school dragging an overgrown boy reluctantly through 

 tbe door. "What's yer limit here? This boy's arter an iddication," 

 he demanded. The timid teacher replied that the curriculum em- 

 braced reading, writing, arithmetic, history, algebra, trigonometry— 

 "That will do, pard," interrupted the farmer, "Load him up heavy 

 with triggernometry; he's the only poor shot in the family."— From 

 McMurchy's "-Truths." 



The Yanticaw Gun Club, of Nutley, N. J , has leased one of the 

 buildings on tbe Sattertbwaite estate, betwean Washington avenue 

 and River road, and is having it fitted up as a club house. The loca- 

 tion is admirably adapted for the purposes proposed, large, level 

 fields for trap-shooting being near at hand. The club bouse stands in 

 a cluster of stately old trees which afford a pleasant shade in the sum- 

 mer. The grounds will be laid out for tennis, quoits and other field 

 sports as soon as tbe season opens. 



The work on the large club house being erected at Hagerstown, Md., 

 at a cost of $10,000 by the Blue Ridge Rod and Gun Club is progress- 

 ing as rapidly as the weather will permit. It is situated on the Vir- 

 ginia side of the Patomac River in Loudoun county, opposite Sandy 

 Hook, and is in plain view from Harper's Ferry, one mile disiant. It 

 will be completed by the time the fishing season opens.

; Spokane Rod and Gun Club. 



Spokane, Wash., Feb. 26.— The shooting of the Spokane Rod and 

 Gun Club yesterday was by far the best of the season; it was the 

 thirteenth shoot, just half of tbe season. T, B. Ware has won Class A 

 medal ten times, and is now looked upon as a sure winner, although 

 some of the other members are doing some good shooting. Carsou, 

 Eckhardt and McBroom each having won it once. Tbe Glass B medal 

 is the most interesting contest, it having changed hands so many 

 times, Burks aDd Francotte having each won it five times and Duffy 

 three times. McBroom made the best score of the season yesterday 

 and won the Class A medal with 26 out of 30. and Francotte made tbe 

 best score in the Class B medal with 21. Following are the scores:

The Central New York League. 



Utica, N. Y., Feb. 26.— Pursuant to a call issued by Geo. A. Mosher, 

 representatives from Syracuse, Rochester, Auburn and Utica, met at 

 Hotel Burns in Syracuse, Feb, 24, 1894. There were present Messrs. H. 

 M. Stewart, representing tbe Rochester Rod and Gun Club, C. W. 

 Tuttle, representing the Auburn Gun Club, H. L. Gates, representing 

 the Oneida County Sportsmen's Association of Utica, and Messrs. 

 Chas. Wagner, W. H. Cruttenden, Wm. Prettie, Geo. A. Mosher, 

 Harvey Mc.tturchy, A. G. Courtney and D. M. LeFever, representing 

 the Onondaga County Sportsmen's Association of Syracuse. Mr. 



5. ewart was elected chairman and Mr. Gates secretary. It was agreed 

 to organize the Central New York Trap Shooting League to consist of 

 the four clubs above named. Eight shoots will be held during the 

 season. There is to be a team shoot to consist of five men from each 

 club, each man shooting at 20 single targets. Also an individual 

 champion shoot at 25 singles, each contestant to shoot in at least five 

 contests and to be allowed to select his best five scores. The team 

 shoot will be for an elegant trophy and the club making the best score 

 in the eight shoots will become the champions and win the trophy. 

 An entrance of 25 cents per man each shoot, will make up the pot for 

 the individual championship, to be divided 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. 

 Each team may shoot a man who lives outside the county iu which the 

 club is located, if he has been for one year a member in good standing, 

 otherwise the teams must come from the county in which the club is 

 organized. The management is to consist of four governors, one from 

 each club, and Messrs. Tuttle, Stewart, Mosher and Gates were elected 

 governors until action is taken by each club. Mr. Mosher was elected 

 secretary-treasurer for 1894. 



The New York State rules for target, shooting were adopted. There 

 will be open sweeps at every shoot, and the price of targets was fixed 

 at two cents each. The following is a schedule of the dates and the 

 programme of each sboot: Auburn, March 28 and Aug 29; Roches- 

 ter, April 25 and Sept. 26; Utica, May 30 and Oct. 24; Syracuse, July 

 25 and Nov. 28. 



Programme: No. 1, 15 targets, $1.50 entrance; No. 2, 15 targets, Mc- 

 Murchy system, $1.50 entrance; No. 3, 20 targets, team championship, 

 optional sweep, $2 entrance; No. 4, 20 targets, $2 entrance; No. 5, 25 

 targets, individual championship, optional sweep, S3.25 entrance; Mo. 



6, 15 targets, McMurchy system, 82 entrance; No. 7, 15 targets, S2 

 entrance; No. 8, 15 targets, $1.50 entrance. Targets extra in all events. 

 Extra events to follow if time permits. Each club is permitted to hold 

 a two-days shoot if it, so elects. 



The four clubs comprising this league are the strongest four clubs 

 in the State and that the league will be a great success goes without 

 saying. It ought to prove a great boom to shooting matters in central 

 New York, Unundages. 



The Grand American Handicap. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I desire to state at this, the earliest opportunity, that a slight change 

 has been made in the programme, heretofore agreed upon to govern 

 the Grand American Handicap of the Interstate Manufacturers' and 

 Dealers' Association, to be held at Dexter Park, April 4, 5 and 6. 

 When the officials for the occasion were announced, the classification 

 and tournament, committee of the Interstate Association, composed of 

 Messrs. Justus von Lengerke, Noel E. Money and H. A. Penrose, were 

 named as the committee who would handicap the contestants. Since 

 then it has been learned that these gentlemen are desirous of taking 

 part in the Grand American Handicap, and in consequence the execu- 

 tive committee have deemed it advisable to name a handicap com- 

 mittee, to act especially for this occasion. The committee selected is 

 composed of Messrs. John S. Hoey, Jacob Pentz and Elmer E. Shaner 

 —to which selection we do not think any objection can be taken. 



Tbe desire and aim of this committee will be to handicap the con- 

 testants solely on their merits as shooters, and uo other considerations 

 will be allowed to influence their judgment. It is quite unnecessary 

 to add tnat the fraternity had entire confidence in the integrity and 

 ability of the gentlemen comprising the classification and tournament 

 committee, and the substitution of a handicap committee to look after 

 this particular feature of the arrangements was at their earnest solici- 

 tations for the reasons previously named, and to prevent any possible 

 misunderstanding or cavil. 



Every day brings fresh assurance that the coming tournament will 

 be among the most successful ever held in America. The liberal 

 amount of money guaranteed in the Grand American Handcap is at- 

 tracting widespread attention, and the entry list is certain to be very 

 large, while it will include the front rank trap shooters of several 

 States. Messrs, J. A. H. Dressel, Chas. Tatham and Justus von 

 Lengerke, who compose the executive committee of the Interstate 

 Association, are determined to leave nothing undone that will add to 

 the success, or the fair and impartial nature of each and every 

 contest. Elmer, E. Shaner, Manager I. M. and D. A.

Considerable money changed hand*, and when the shooting ceased 

 for the day the event was said to be the best held for some time on the 

 grounds. 



A. G. Courtney, as usual, was the winner. A little rivalry between 

 Parker and Reynolds furnished some amusement. Reynolds claimed 

 superiority, but saw his mistake when he suceeded in missing 33 birds 

 straight. Weather was elegant and we had a fine time. Fallstaf* 1 .
