DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any neivs notes they may care to have printed. . 
Says the New York Sun of July 28th: "There may be such a thing 
as fair play in England. For years and years and years Englishmen 
have been boasting about it, but the treatment shown the American 
gentlemen who went over two months or so ago to shoot pigeons with 
the Britishers shows that some members of those swell organizations, 
the Gun Club and the Hurlingham Gun Club, have no other idea of 
, c portthan to win at all hazards Some of the tricks alleged to have 
been played on the Americans would have made even the 'sure-thing' 
boys who flourished at Guttenburg blush, and the men who played 
1 hem pass for sportsmen and gentlemen. Messrs. P. G. Moore, E. A. 
Post. A. Clinton Wilmerding and J T. Alburger, who, with Captain A. 
W. Money, R. A. Welch and John Seaver Page, shot in numerous 
matches against the English cracks at the clubs named, arrived on the 
Britannia yesterday, and they sailed into the gentlemen sharps with- 
out gloves. 'We went abroad expecting to compete against gentle- 
men,' said Mr. Moore, 'but we got a good dose of English fair play 
which we won't soon forget At the Gun Club in the international 
I ournament all of our men were shooting fairly well, but not bril- 
liantly. Our scores were poor indeed, and the birds were faster than 
lightning. We noticed that the pullers invariably liberated the birds 
in traps Nns. 1 and 5 for us, while the Englishmen got the three inside 
boxes. This would not have made such a great difference to us had 
there been no selection of birds, but all the fast ones were put in the 
end traps. The birds from Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were in many instances as 
slow as chickens on the wing. The fraud became so palpable that 
Captain Leighton and several other members of the clab threatened 
to resign unless an investigation was made. The executive commit- 
tee met, and as a result the trap-pullers, who had been paid by some 
fit the betting members, were dismissed. And at Hurlingham,' con- 
tinued Mr. Moore, 'we found more gentlemen sharpers. They handi- 
capped us heavily. We were shooting at 29 and 31 yards rise to 26 for 
the Englishmen, who were picked as the best shots in the country. 
AH of us noticed that we were shooting under the birds, but couldn't 
understand it. Finally a Frenchman who was backing us insisted that 
a measure be brought. Then it was discovered that we had been 
shooting two yards back of our handicaps. There was no investiga 
tion over this. Some English sportsmen have a very poor idea of fair 
play.' The Americans won, besides a number of cups, about $3,000 in 
sweeps Mr. Moore broke the record at. Hurlingham by killing 32 
birds Btraigbt at 29 yards rise. Captain Money and R. A. Welch will 
return early this month." s 
The annual shoot of the Nassau Gun Club was held on July 25 at 
Dexter Park. Each member competing gave a prize and was a recip- 
ient of one. The contest was under the usual rules, and as each 
contestant was unaware of the prizes to be won, considerable fun 
took place. Each shot at 10 birds, all at 28 yards rise. E. Helgans 
was the winner with ten, and had the first choice of prizes; R.Woods 
with G. N. Forbell took the second choice with nine each; J. Young 
got the third with eight. Score: Club shoot, 28 yards— E. Helgans 
10, R. Woods 9, G. N. Forbell 9, J. Young 8, W. Selover 7, W. Levens 
7, C. Magee 6, Von Drelle 6. Sweepstake shoot five birds, 28 yards— 
W. Selover 5, R.Woods 4, E. Helgans 4, G. U. Forbell 4, J. Young 4 
H. Bramwell 3, C Magee 2, P. Von Drelle 2. At the close of the shoot 
the annual meeting of the club was held and the following were 
elected as officers for the ensuing year: President, J. F. Van Wick- 
leu; Vice-President, W. H. Selover; Treasurer, C. Magee; Secretary 
W. Hartye; Executive Committee, G. U. Forbell, P. Von Drede and

Altoona, Pa., July 25.— Will you please make a note in your next 
issue that I shall be pleased to mail a copy of the programme for the 
Pennsylvania State Shoot to any one who may want one, and who has 
been overlooked In our mailing list. The shoot is going to be a 
"corker," I believe, and "Wopsy" will be looking her prettiest, if only 
the weather clerk is favorable to us, and that, at this season of the 
year, is not very unlikely, as in August fine weather predominates in 
the Alleghenies. — Edward Banks Sec y. 
Memphis will catch all the cracks next week and great will be the 
tussle for that $760 added to the purses.

will be the prime hustlers. 
The annual bluerock tournament under the management of W. H. 
Kearfott will be held at Kearneysville, W. Va., on Aug. 8, and judging

Pigeon Shooting- at Saratoga. 
Saratoga is a paradise for the idler and the dreamer, and when a 
busy bee of the world's workers drifts into this handsome hive of 
drones and sees the groups gathered upon veranda and piazza, or 
lending the various colors of their robes to the enchanting hues of 
lawn and garden, or the daintily attired creatures that ride silently 
about the smooth surfaces of the drives, all bearing the same air of 
lassitude and languor, then does the observer marvel that rational, 
intelligent beings in this bustling world of ours could be content to 
spend a single summer of their lives in such a "lotus dream of ease." 
But he soon discovers that this gilded idleness is but a veneer; that 
underneath its surface may be found a fierce whirl of excitement 
that would satisfy the most ardent devotee of enjoyment— a very 
feast of pleasure, to which the spice of variety is unstintedly added. 
"What in the world has all this got to do with trap-shooting?" some 
sturdy sportsman will ask. Simply this, my brother: Trap-shooting 
was long ago added to the attractions for the pleasure seeker and 
excitement hunter at the spa; her sons are ardent devotees of the 
rod and gun and experts in the use thereof; big purses have been un- 
grudgingly offered to visiting competitors at the gun club grounds, 
and pigeon shooting has become the medium for the placing of heavy 
stakes. 
It was under the last named condition that an) Albany shooter gained 
a modest winning from a Saratogian on the 25th. A few days pre- 
viously a game or two at pool, with a stake attached, had gone against 
the Albanian. The mineral water drinker desired to add to the dis- 
comfiture of the defeated one, and later, in one of Saratoga's im- 
mense caravnnseries, his effervescence caused him to lift up his voice 
and cry aloud, "I can beat you shooting! I will shoot you a 50 bird 
race for $100 a side." 
"I will go you; name your time and place," answered the boy from 
Saratoga. 
It's about time I named the shooters? Well, here they are, Walter 
Hanson, of Saratoga, a slashing looking fellow, clever with the gun, 
but with no well won reputation as a shooter, and Harry L. Sweny, a 
member of the West End and the Forester gun clubs, of Albany, a 
youth whose brief career as a trap-shot has not allowed his reputa- 
tion to extend over our Eastern New York League circuit, but whose 
steady pace at various shooting grounds is telling a tale of success, 
and who will yet be known throughout the State. 
The arranging of this match to take place at Saratoga, Wednesday, 
July 25, took the Albany correspondent of Forest and Stream to the 
Springs on that day. Quite a representation of Albany and Troy 
shooters was present at an early hour, and the morning gave an op- 
portunity for pleasant fraternizing with the stars of the Saratoga Gun 
Club— Ramsdill, Levengston, Gibbs, Bockes and Pike. The afternoon 
saw us all at the club grounds, so well known for its natural advan- 
tages of level plain and clear background. A large crowd of specta- 
tors were on hand, and the racing season being on, there was a liberal 
sprinkling of sports. The occasion was graced by the presence of a 
solitary lady, a dainty maiden visiting the Springs from Titusville— 
one of the prettiest creatures the sun ever shone upon. Two nobby- 
looking New Yorkers attracted general attention. One was quite an 
imposing-looking fellow, with a grand showing of brawny strength, 
the other a shapely little chap, with a strangely sharp look in his eyes, 
which were as piercing as those of a lynx. The identy of the strangers 
was revealed when I was introduced to David S. Johnson and Ned 
Garrison, the latter a famous jockey. 
The contestants arrived on the ground in good time, and without 
any preliminary practice shooting they proceeded at once to the work 
in hand, after choosing Mr. Johnson as referee and the writer as offi- 
cial scorer. Sweny won the toss for choice of position and decided 
that his opponent should face the traps first. 
A match is rarely made where a man is so clearly outclassed as was 
Hanson. Beginning fairly well, he went all to pieces after the 
twentieth round and gave up the race at the end of the twenty-eighth. 
Sweny shot a steady and creditable pace, and his score is a good one 
even on summer birds, which in this instance were an excellent lot for 
the time of year. The score shows the stumbling gait of Hanson, the 
brilliant run with which Sweny opened his performance and the fine 
total which landed him an easy winney. The conditions of the match 
were 50 birds per man, $100 a side, American Shooting Association 
rules to govern: 
H R Sweny 1121111111111111111021.11101— 25 
Walter Hanson 201122012112«1101011000«0000— 15 
The Albanians present were confident that Hanson would prove a 
"dead easy" mark for Sweny bi>t they had no idea that the Saratogian 
would be shot to a standstill when the match was little more than 
half over, so Harry got no congratulations. After the match 
was over there was a lot ojf birds left which some of the bloods 
present at once utilized in a couple of team matches. In the first of 
these Levengston and Pike of Saratoga were pitted against Johnson 
and Garrison of New York, 10 birds per man, $10 per team. The score 
shows that the Saratogians outshot the New Yorkers by a narrow 
margin: 
Levengston 2211«21101— 8 Garrison 0122102112—8 
Pike 21011«1121— 8-10 Johnson 0111120120—7—15 
A 3-man team match followed, 5 birds per man, $10 per team, with 
Levengston, Pike and Sweny, against Johnson, Garrison and ex-cham- 
pion W. T. Lord, of Troy. Another close race, with Levengston's 
team the victor: 
• Levengston 12111—5 Johnson 11101—4 
Pike »1012— 3 Garrison , , , ••222 -3 
Sweny 22111—5-13 Lord 11H3-5-12 
The excellent form in which young Sweny shot in the individual 
and team matches made him a favorite among the sporting men, and 
as I write these lines (July 28) a message has been received'from Dave 
Johnson, stating that he will back Sweny against Garrison in a 50 bird 
race, for $50 a side. It is pretty definitely settled that the match will
