for the refusal It cannot be taken as a very high mark of sympathy 
with Lord Dunraven's action, while the offer of the N. Y. Y. C. leaves 
no room for disputing in any shape or form the judgment delivered by 
its special committee. 
It is to be regretted that Lord Dunraven did not wait until the com- 
mittee had finished hearing the evidence, but it is satisfactory to have 
had his own assurance that it has acted with strict impartiality. 
With this knowledge we feel sure that the hint contained In the report 
will not be lost upon him, and that the amende honorable wijl not be 
withheld. Thus one of the most unfortunate occurrences in the an- 
nals of yachting will be brought to a happy conclusion. Lord Dun- 
raven will no doubt express his regret in a fitting form, and assuredly 
the report before us has rendered this very easy for him. If we 
might suggest such a thing, the "shake hands and be friends 1 ' might 
take the shape of a series of private matches between the Defender 
and Valkyrie next season off Marblehead.

On the above date only two members shot their strings: R. J. Young's 
two best scores were 245 and 240, while his score on the honor target 
was 78. The other member present was out of form and did not regis- 
ter his scores. 
The Zettler Rifle Club will hold a ladies' prize day on March 24, when 
the ladies who are relatives of the members of the club will compete 
for prizes offered by the gentlemen. 
The question as to whether there is to be another National Schuet-

future.

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 otherwise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, S18 
Broadway, New York. 
Rolla Heikes sat down in his home at Dayton, O., on Feb. 12, and wrote 
us a nice little letter. We mention this tact because Rolla isn't given 
to writing us letters: we wish he were. We are not going to give his 
production in full, but will just give a juicy extract that will be of 
interest to all trap-shooters: "From present prospects this is going to 
be the banner year in trap-shooting circles, causing you many a shot 
with your pen, and myself many a moment of anxiety while waiting 
for the referee to call out 'dead bird.' Iam aware that I have a heavy 
load on my shoulders, trying to set the pace for the many good shots 
who are after my scalp. The society is becoming warmer every year, 
and many new members are falling in line and gradually making their 
mark. Of course it is only a question of time how long I can keep up 
my gait. Should I continue to feel as I do this A. M., the boys will all 
know that I am still in the race." Considering that Rolla broiie 50 
straight at unknown angles on the 10th, two days before he wrote the 
above, he had reason for feeling pretty well. In W. Fred. Quimby's 
store in this city there is a large portrait of Rolla hanging on the wall; 
over it is the inscription "The daddy of them all." Charlie Hebbard 
wrote it and he wrote it well, for tbe title is one that fits. 
The trap-shooters of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska are going to 
have a big time during the month of April. As already announced, 
April 14-17 are the dates for Lou Erhardt's great shoot at Atchison, 
Kan.; the next week is the State shoot at Omaha, Neb., under the 
management of Frank Parmalee, George Loomis and J. C. Read; the 
dates are April 21-24. This shoot w;ll be followed by the annual Owl 
shoot of Kansas, at Joplin, Mo., April 28-30. In connection with this 
will be run the tournament of the Amateur Trap-Shooters' Association 
of Missouri and an open tournament as well. All will be under the 
auspices of the Joplin (Mo.) Gun Club, of which club W. G. Sergeant 
is the able secretary. The State shoot at Houston, Tex., during the 
Omaha week may take a few shooters away from the one at Omaha; 
but as these are both State affairs, neither will suffer very much prob- 
ably from the clashing of dates. 
The Sherbrooke Gun Club, ofSherbrooke, Province of Quebec, Can- 
ada, is a new organization, having been in existence less than half a 
year. Jas. F. Morkell is the club's president, and C. H. Foss its secre- 
tary; the roster of the club shows a membership of 20 in good stand- 
ing. In writing about bis club, Mr. Foss says: "The weather since we 
organized last October has permitted the holding of a few practice 
shoots, all of which have been well attended; considering that all our 
members are novices, good progress has been made. The club is look- 
ing forward to contests with the neighboring clubs whom tbey hope to 
meet during the coming season." Mr. Foss adds that his club solicits 
correspondence from clubs in that vicinity with a view to team races 
as above. 
The new target grounds of the New Utrecht Gun Club are located 
at Eighty-sixth street and Thirteenth avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Sec- 
retary Pool has issued the following circular telling how to reach the 
grounds: "The Second avenue and Bensonhurst cars will take you 
direct to the grounds. Third avenue, Hamilton avenue and Court 
street cars, also Brooklyn Elevated connect with Second avenue line at 
Sixty-fifth street and Third avenue. Members from New York will 
find the Thirty-ninth Street Ferry a convenience. Boats leave the 
Battery, New York, every half bour and connect with Second avenue 
cars at Thirty-ninth street, Brooklyn. Time from New York to 
grounds 45 minutes." 
The programme for the Grand American Handicap is out, and we 
give elsewhere a very full synopsis of its contents. It is very seldom 
that so much space can be devoted to the notice of a programme; but 
this is something exceptional, as the Grand American Handicap week 
of 1896 will bring together a larger number of live-bird shots than were 
ever before gatnered in front of tbe traps in this country. East, 
West, North and South, every part of this great country will be re- 
presented at Elkwood Park on March 25, when the opening gun in the 
Grand American Handicap is fired. 
J. Emmett Haney, secretary-treasurer of the Texas State Sports" 
men's Association, and manager of the association's tournament, April 
20-24, at Houston, Texas, is making every effort to have that shoot a 
success. A special feature of the shoot will be the programme on the 
fourth day of the tournament, April 23, which day will be known as 
"Manufacturers', Jobbers' and Dealers' Day." On that date the races 
will all be for merchandise prizes donated to the association by the 
above named "Manufacturers, etc."; the entrance fee in all these 
events will be the price of the targets. 
The Ohio State League has decided to change its dates from the 
second week in May to June 9, 10 and 11. The change was made at a 
special meeting held at Dayton, O. , on Feb. 7. This change does away 
with the clashing of dates for the above tournament and the big shoot 
at Memphis scheduled for the second week in May. The only tour- 
nament scheduled for the dates chosen in June is the New York State 
tournament at Buffalo, N. Y., with which the Ohio shoot cannot pos- 
sibly conflict very seriously. 
The death of Mr. John Neff, of Austin, Tex., which occurred quite 
recently, was a sad shock to his many friends. Death resulted from 
bullet wounds, the theory being advanced that a revolver which he 
was cleaning had gone off in his hands. Mr. Neff was very fond of 
hunting, and was a member of the party that started from Austin, 
Tex., after the San Antonio midwinter shoot, and which included 
among its number Tom Keller and O. R. Dickey, of Boston, Mass. 
The New Haven, Conn., Gun Club will hold a tournament on Feb. 22 
on its grounds at the terminus of the State street electric car line. 
There are 12 events on the programme: eight 10-target events, three 
15-target events, and one 20-target event. The club adds $5 to the 
purse in two of the 15-target events, and $5 to the purse in the 20-tar- 
get event. The club will be glad to make all its visitors feel at home, 
and issues a cordial invitation to shooters to be present. 
The Washington Heights Gun Club, of New York city, has elected 
the folio win j: list of officers for 1898: President, Henry W. Oliver; 
Vice-President, F. M. Sherry; Secretary, F. D. Sherry; Financial Sec- 
retary, Edwin S. Searles; Treasurer, R. B. Saul; Captain, Charles R. 
Terwilliger; Assistant Captain, Richard M. Romer; Executive Com- 
mittee, James J. Belden, J. J. Organ, H. Harrison, Dr. Friedenburg 
and James R. Terhune. 
The Elizabeth (N. J.) Gun Club's sixth bi-monthly tournament is 
set for next Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 25-26. Tuesday is target 
day, and the programme contains a list of twelve events, which call 
for 175 targets. Wednesday, live-bird day, has a long programme- 
one of six events: a 4-bird sweep, $2 entranca; 5-bird sweep, $5: two 
7-bird sweeps, $5; 10 birds, $5; 25 birds, $10, birds extra in this event, 
which is a handicap as usual. 
H. W. Brown writes from Binghamton, N. Y., that the Binghamton 
Gun Club will hold its annual spring tournament on May 26-28; first 
two days targets— last day live birds. The purses in the target events 
will, be divided on the "straight-out" system. The Binghamton shoots 
are always enjoyable, while the home club has a squad of shooters 
who enter and Bhoot right through the programme. 
Feb. 21-22 will be two big days at the grounds of the Roches- 
ter, N. Y., Rod and Gun Club. On the 22d, Washington's 
Birthday, the team race between teams of the Audubon Gun Club, of 
Buffalo, and the home club, will be the special feature of int erest. 
The programme of other events, however, is sure to catch the boys; 
all events are 15 targets, $1. 
The very lucid description of the Knoxville Gun Club's certificate 
shoots, written by Roger Van Gilder, secretary of the club, which we 
give in full elsewhere, is just what we wanted, as it will answer several 
queries on this matter that have been addressed to this office. From 
Mr. Van Gilder's description the certificate plan is a good one for any 
club to adopt. 
The North Side Gun Club, of Allegheny, Pa., announces that it wil 
hold an all-day shoot at its grounds on Marshall avenue, on W ching 
ton's Birthday. A circular received from the club states t ot all 
shooters will get their lunch gratis, and adds that "all are invited." 
Shooting commences at 10 A. M. 
Forest and Stream's tournament squad pads are all that you need 
to keep your cashier's department up with the events as they are 
shot. Secretaries and managers of clubs that are contemplating hold- 
ing tournaments should send for samples. 
An all-day shoot at live birds and targets will be given by the Rye, 
N. Y., Gun Club on Feb. 22, Washington's Birthday. Mr. Wilbur C. 
Lyon, treasurer of the club, writes that everything will be done to 
make visitors comfortable. 
The Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., will hold an all-day 
shoot at Marion, N. J., on Washington's Birthday. All the events will 
be at targets, and, given fine weather, the Endeavors are sure of a
