DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Ties in all events are considered as divided unless othenoise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 318 
Broadway, New York. 
At the Carteret Club on Jan. 4 the main event was the contest for 
the Knapp cup, one of three presented to the club by J. P. Knapp. 
Among those who took part was Peter H. Morris, who came deter- 
mined to win if he possibly could. Mr, Morris brought with him a 
sure mascot; this was his hat, a Tyrolean green felt hat, at the back 
of which he wore a cockade of feathers from the tail of the European 
black cock; at the root of this cockade peeped out the upper jaw of a 
groundhog with all the teeth in it. Mr. Morris stated that he bought 
the hat in Marienbad when he was last in Europe, and added that the 
peasants wore the groundhog amulet for luck. All we can say, judg- 
ing from results as we saw them, is that a groundhog's jaw is not in it 
with a certain rabbit's foot we wot of. 
R. S. Waddell, representative of the Hazard Powder Co. in the 
Southern States, has issued a card calling attention to the Hazard 
tournament at Cincinnati next May. The card runs as follows: "The 
Hazard Smokeless Powder tournament for amateurs and experts at 
Cincinnati, O., May 19-22, 1896. Two thousand dollars in cash and 
prizes, donated by the Hazard Powder Co. A magnificent meeting 
Centrally located on the tournament circuit. You are invited A 
welcome to every sportsman." Mr. Waddell tells us that he has not 
as yet decided on the form of the programme, but promises something 
new and attractive. 
Montreal, Can., has a new gun club. The new organization is called 
the Montreal Gun Club; its officers for the year are: President, George 
Boulter; Vice-President, C. Percy Taylor; Secretary-Treasurer, R B 
Hutcheson; Executive committee: George Cleghorn, Edward Eaton 
and Norman Nash. The club will hold monthly shoots on grounds 
that have been secured at the Atlantic Club house, Cote des Neiges. 
The reporter of sporting events who is paid by "space" is naturally 
tempted to magnify some small shoots, making them attain propor- 
tions out of all keeping with their real value to the shooting public 
Still that is not quite so bad as the work of a reporter in this city who 
less than three weeks ago turned a 5-bird match, in which the two 
contestants missed 3 out of the 5 birds, Into a 25-bird race in which 
the last 20 birds were killed straight by each man, the totals showina- 
22 each. s 
Jordan L. Mott, Jr., the patentee and inventor of the Mott disap- 
pearing live-bird trap, told us while at the Westminster Kennel Club's 
shoot on New Year's Day that he has made several new improvements 
in their workings; among the improvements are a greater noise when 
the trap opens, thus scaring the bird more effectively, and the ad- 
dition of a new "flipper" calculated to make a sitter hustle itself to 
get away. 
The high wind and the great class of birds provided at the West- 
minster Kennel Club's shoot on New Year's Day played havoc with 
the scratch men. Out of 212 birds trapped in the main event, only 37 
showed any signs of incoming tendencies. The trap score type copy- 
righted by Forest and Stream helps wonderfully to tell the story of a 
match, showing as it does the flight of each individual bird in such a 
way that anybody can understand it. 
Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the Interstate Association, has some- 
thing to say in our columns that should prove of interest to gun clubs 
in the New England States of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire 
The Association proposes to hold a tournament in each one of those 
States, and asks gun clubs that would like to have such a tournament 
given under their auspices to correspond upon the subject. 
The Interstate Association announces formally the selection of Elk- 
wood Park.as the place where the Grand American Handicap of 1896 
will be held. The announcement is couched in the following terms- 
"March 25-27.— New York.— The Interstate Association's fourth annual 
Grand American Handicap at live birds at Elkwood Park; $1,000 guar- 
anteed in the main event; all surplus added." 
Royal Robinson, secretary of the Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis 
Ind., writes us as follows: "The Limited Gun Club will hoid a three- 
days' target shoot on May 26-28; no one barred. This meeting will 
fill th« gap between the Hazard Powder Company's tournament at 
Cincinnati and the Illinois State shoot at Chicago, and will be a good 
stopping place for experts who follow the circuit." 
The change of dates for the Grand American Handicap from April 
1-3 to March 25-27 is a wise move, as it will enable many intending 
contestants to take in both the Sportsmen's Exposition at Madison 
Square Garden, New York, March 16-21, and also the Grand American 
week at Elkwood Park. 
H. S. Lippack, proprietor of Dexter Park, L. I , intends holding a 
live-bird shoot during the first week of February. The main event 
will be a 25 live-bird handicap, $10 entrance, birds extra. This style of 
sweepstake is getting very popular around New York, and Dexter 
Park should be able to get at least fifteen or sixteen entries. 
The programme for the E. C. Powder Company's tournament is 
being gotten under way. It will be out in plenty of time for every one 
to see just what Capt. Money and his son Noel have prepared for their 
amusement during the first week of May, 
The Boiling Springs Gun Club, of Rutherford, N. J., had a capital 
live- bird shoot on New Year's Day. An entry list of 16 in a 25-bird 
race, $15 entrance, makes a very nice shoot. The high wind made 
the birds hard to locate, the result being that 23 was high. 
An extremely cold and high wind spoiled the target shooting at the 
fifteenth annual New Year's tournament of the South Side Gun Club, 
of Newark, N. J. The boys were there, but the stove and the lunch 
were far pleasanter companions than guns and empires on Jan. 1, 
ioUo. 
Secretaries of gun clubs and the managers of tournaments should 
not fail to rerr ember Forest and Stream's tournament squad pads 
when they are making preparations for holding a tournament. Send 
for a sample. 
Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la., winner of the Du Pont trophy at 
the Baltimore shoot, has been adding largely to his laurels by his 
work at the holiday shoots in his native State; at the Davenport. Ia., 
shoot on Dec. 30 he shot like a cracker jack. 
A team of shooters from Omaha, Neb., journeyed to Council Bluffs, 
la., on Jan. 1 and shot a race with a team representing the local club. 
As a result the Omaha men took supper with the Council Bluffs boys 
the latter losing the price of the banquet by one bird. 
The Elizabeth (N. J.) Gun Club announces that it will hold its sixth 
bi-monthly tournament on Feb. 25, 26. As usual, the tournament is 
open to all. First day's events are at targets, second at live birds. 
The Iowa State tournament for 1896 will be held at Davenport Ia 
June 9-11. R. B. Cook, of Davenport, is secretary of the Iowa State 
Sportsmen's Association.

Protect the Amateurs. 
Hartford, Conn., Dec. 30.— Editor Forest and Stream: The follow- 
ing item, published in one of our local papers, would, I think, be good 
reading for the manufacturers of shotguns and ammunition as well as 
for several of the leading firms that retail the same and who have 
representatives at nearly all the large tournaments: 
'Philadelphia, Dec. 10 — It is rumored that the racing board of the 
League of American Wheelmen will recommend the abandonment of 
the semi-professional form of bicycle racing as exemplified by Class B 
riders. The class was created to relieve the amateur ranks from com • 
petition with men who were employed by makers of wheels, and who 
while carried on their pay rolls as salesmen, clerks, etc., were in real- 
ity doing nothing but going around the country and racing to adver- 
tise the wheels of their employers. The recent exposure of Titus 
Cabanne and Murphy was the culmination of the charges which have 
been made against Class B, in which the public has lost confidence, and 
last week the manufacturers decided, by a mail vote, to abandon rac- 
ing as a form of advertising." 
At the present time it is almost impossible to attend a shooting tour- 
nament without running up against a land shark of some description ■ 
either the private shooter who has a pull with some firm for ammuni- 
tion, shells, powder or gun, or else we meet the full-fledged traveling 
representative of some large firm, who has two or more regulars and 
a number of sppcial shooters who scour the country and take most of 
the money. There are at least two firms who have a trio of shooters 
who shoot for them at the Urge tournaments, and tbey also have a 
large number of crack shots on the free list who get their shells for 
shouting the merits of their goods. 
I trust the manufacturers will pardon me for expressing myself so 
freely with regard to the manner in which they advertise their goods 
at the expense of amateur shooters who enjoy attending a large tour- 
nament. I have thus far mentioned but two firms, but there are 
others too numerous to mention who are represented by the profes- 
sional tournament chasers. 
If the manufacturers and dealers must continue to have a brigade 
of experts, I would suggest that the leading gun clubs adopt a pro- 
gramme as follows: Make all the events 10 targets, with a uniform 
entrance fee of $1.25, targets included at 2}4 cents each, and use Paul 
North's sliding handicap, that is, make alf high guns in first event 
shoot expert rules in the next event, and so on. By so doing the 
brown-stone-front professionals could not pay expenses, and in that 
case the firms represented by them would soon have to take their 
"cracker jacks" off the road. 
The popular programmes that are issued by nearly all the leading 
gun clubs have all events at 20 targets; it will be found by calculation 
that a shooter must average 80 per cent, to get even a fifth place No 
doubt, however, these 20-bird events have become popular with paid 
shooters from the fact that it puts the first money out of the reach of 
amateurs; all the good pots with the added money are then sure to be 
divided among manufacturers' representatives. D. S. Wadsworth 
Bayside Gun Club. 
Kejport, N. J., Jan l.-The Bayside Gun Club held its monthly 
shoot on New Year's Day, with a cutting northwest wind blowing di- 
rectly from the score. It chilled the shooters to the marrow and 
made the flight of the targets very erratic. Wm. Watts won the bad^e 
with a score of 21. Thirty-four men faced the traps, and although 
some withdrew on account of the cold, it was a very interesting shoot 
This club is growing fast in membership and promises to develop »om« 
very good shots. y 0

Zealand Again Defeats Holland. 
Holland, Mich , Dec. 26.— Once more we have had a contest with 
the Zeeland Gun Club for the championship of the county and once 
more we did not win; we seem to be running against fate or some- 
thing else. The shoot was held to-day at Zeeland. It was an elegant 
day to shoot, the sky being clear and bright, but wa were somewhat 
handicapped by the targets being thrown at sharper angles than we 
have been accustomed to, and the spectators were so noisy that the 
trap puller seemed unable to hear us when we called "Dull " w» 
were beaten by 16 targets, 107-91. p ' we 
In the sweeps hat followed th« team race Holland came out ahead
