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. 
We have received a copy of the programme for "Jack" Parker's 
fourth annual international shooting tournament to be held at Des- 
chree chos-ka Island, Aug. 14, 15, 16 and 17, and a remarkably well- 
arranged and well-printed affair it is, being on fine paper and embel- 
lished with fine half-tone engravings of such well-known sportsmen as 
"Jack" Parker, Paul North, Harvey McMurchy, Rollo Heikes, "Sam" 
Glover, "Milton" LindBley, "Ed." Taylor, W. R. Hobart, W. K Park 
Perd. Van Dyke and T. H. Keller. On the first day there will be five 
10 target evenis, $1.50 entry; three 15 target events, $2.50 entry; one 
20 target event, $3 60 entry with $100 guaranteed, and the two men 
team championship race at 35 targets each, for the championship of 
the United States and Canada. The winners will each receive a 
diamond button emblematic of the championship and there will be 
other merchandise prizes. Wednesday will be live bird day, the 
events in order to be 5 birds, $5; 7 birds, $7; 10 birds, $10; 25 birds for 
international gold medal costing $150; this is also an optional $25 
sweep. Third day, five 10 target events, $1.50 entry; three 15 target 
events, $25 entry (two of these have each a $100 purse guaranteed) • 
two 20 target events, $3.60 entry. Friday, fourth day, five 10 target 
events, $1.50 entry; three 15 target events, $2 50 entry; one 20 target 
event, $3.60 entry with $100 guaranteed; and the contest at 50 targets 
for the individual international target championship, the first prize of 
which is a diamond trophy. There are also eleven other prizes of 
merchandise. All the guaranteed purses shall be shot at 16yds. rise- 
one barrel, known traps and angles (except known experts shall 
shoot from known traps, unknown angles). In the team and indi- 
vidual races all will shoot from known traps and angles. Blue 
targets will be thrown from two sets of expert traps. All 10 and 15 
target events will be shot from 21yds. rise, use of both barrels allowed, 
unknown traps and angles. Instead of making the usual per centum 
divisions of the purse, the "Only Jack" will pay out cash as follows- 
Ten target events, scores of 10 will receive $5 each; 9s, $3 each; 8s, $2 
each; 7s, $1 each; 6s, $1 each; 15 target events, scores of 15 receive 
$10 each: 14s, $7 each; 13s, $5 each; 12s, $3 each; lis, $2 each; 10s, 
$1.50 each. This does away with all necessity of a handicap, as the 
shooting of tin expert does affect the interest of the amateur. In 
fact it wipes out all pooling for places, combinations, etc., and instead 
of shooting against one another all are shooting against the manage- 
ment. In these events there will be four men in a squad. No 1 2 and 
3 men standing in the center, 6ft. apart; No. 4 man backing No. 1 man.

In the whole of Essex county, N. J., there is no more enterprising 
club than the Brighton Gun Club, of East Orange, which comprises 
on its roll many members of the former East Orange, Roseville and 
Amateur gun clubs. The members turn out well for practice and are 
always ready to arrange a team contest with neighboring clubs. On 
Saturday, Aug. 4, itB team met and signally defeated the second team 
of the Maplewood Gun Club f the match being shot on the Brighton 
grounds. Each team comprised seven men who shot at 20 bluerock 
targets each, 18yds. rise. The scores: Brighton G. C— S. Badgelev 17

Next Thursday's contest for the diamond medals of the Onondaga 
County Sportsmen's Club, of Syracuse, will be of unusual interest, as 
the final possession of the medals may then be decided. If A. G. Court- 
ney scores another victory he will becorce owner of the Class A trinket 
having already won it four times. Again, if Charles Wagner or C. f! 
Ayllng win the next competition it will put the winner in a tie with the 
genial -'Court." as each nave three wins to their credit, and enhance 
the interest in the September contest. O^her winners have been C 
Dugard once, A. C. Ginty once, Geo. Mann once. D. M Lefever once 
and Harvey McMurchy once. The B Class medal has been won four 
times by Harry Jones, and three times each by A. S. White and M 
Williams; so here is a chance for another combination.

Westminster Club's grounds. The rise was 30yds. and the boundary 
60yd8. The scores were as below:

Rollo Heikes is showing better form than ever and it is getting to 
be a common occurrence to run straight scores of from 50 to 100 
singles, under any conditions. On July 38, previous to the Buckeye-

more in practice afterward, making a clean run of 100 breaks from

Every sportsman who has read Mr.- F. G. Moore's charges auent un- 
fair treatment of American pigeon shooters by members of English 
clubs should read Capt. A. W. Money's communication in reference to 
the same, in another column. Capt. Money is an undoubted authority 
on matters pertaining to shooting in England and his opinions are 
conclusive. 
The Sherman Gun Club will not wait long before trying to wrest 
back the Review cup won from them by the Buckeyes. The Shermans

Carver vs. Brewer, Carver vs. Budd, Carver vs. Fulford. All these 
great series of great shooting matches yet to come. And they should 
he truly great exhibitions if shot on their merits and the principals 
hold their form. 
"Jack" Parker writes us that if any surplus accumulates from en- 
trance fees in 10 and 15-target events at the Des-chree-shos-ka tourna-

The American Shooters in England. 
Oakland, N. J., Aug. 6;— Editor Forest and Stream: I reached 
New York on Wednesday last and have since seen the paragraph in 
your paper containing statements said to have been made by Mr F 
G. Moore, and published in the New York Sun of July 28. I cannot 
allow these statements to pass unchallenged and in the name of fair 
play I ask you to publish this letter. 
I accompanied my friend Mr. Moore and others to England and 
was present with them, shooting myself, at all the shooting in which 
they took part. 
Mr. Moore complained to me both at Hurlingham and the Gun Club 
that he, as well as myself and the rest of the party, were not getting 
fair play in the matter of handicapping. I tried to show him that the 
handicapping was carried out in accordance with rules laid down at 
both clubs and which could not be departed from. These rules were 
not specially made for our benefit, but applied equally to the regular 
members of the club and all the other foreigners present. 
Mr. Moore would, however, listen to no explanation and continued 
to feel very sore on the subject, the more so that, except by fits and 
starts, he, like all the rest of us, was shooting very poorly. 
The handicapping at both Hurlingham and the Gun Club is in the 
hands of gentlemen elected by the members of the club and who are 
perfectly above any possibility of suspicion as to their showing anv 
favor or partiality. ft J 
I myself, as well as all other foreigners present, men who have shot 
at these clubs as guests for years past, were subject to the same rules 
of handicapping, but no one but Mr. Moore found fault with them 
Mr. Moore is quoted as having further said that at Hurline-ham'the 
traps were found to be 2yds. further from the shooters than the indi- 
cated distance showed, so that a shooter supposed to be standing at 
30yds. would really be standing at 32yds., and so on at each distance. 
This was true, but it affected each man shooting in exactly the same 
way, and not, as Mr. Moore would seem to imply, the American vis- 
itors only. 
I think from the above it will clearly appear that, as far as these two 
points in Mr. Moore's statement are concerned, he had no special 
grievance, but was treated exactly as any other member or guest of 
these two famous clubs was treated. 
. I now come to another point, viz., his accusation against the men 
who pull the traps and those who put the pigeons Into the traps, and 
his further statement, that certain members of both clubs were cog- 
nizant of and benefited by such malpractices. 
Mr. Moore here states as facts what he can only have a suspicion of, 
and if he can point out any way for proving his suspicions and making 
all chance of such cheating an impossibility in the future, he will earn 
the grateful thanks of all true sportsmen. 
Whether it was gopd taste on Mr. Moore's part to make public such 
statements as he has done, when half of them were untrue in fact and 
the rest based on merest suspicion, and when he had been shooting as 
a guest at these clubs for money prizes and cups of great value pre- 
sented gratis by them, I leave brother sportsmen to judge. 
He complains that he did not meet with courtesy. It seems strange 
that no complaint of that sort has ever been made by such sportsmen 
as Macalester, Gale, Dolan, Seaver Page, L S. Thompson, Oakleigh 
Thorne, Edgar Murphy and many other Americans who have shot 
there year after year. Albert W. Money. 
P. S. Since writing the above I have received a letter from Mr. 
Robt. Welch of Philadelphia, who wishes to join me in publishing it, 
and indorses all I have stated. A. W. M.

Yankton Gun Club. 
Yankton, S. D., July 27.— The Yankton Gun Club has come to stay 
Its members have entered into the spirit of the organization with 
commendable zest and zeal, and the ensuing months will be fraught 
with many interesting contests with the shotgun and much pleasure 
for the lovers of sport who comprise it. Twenty business men have 
enrolled their names uncer the articles of organization, and every man 
of them loves to shoot. 
This club will soon develop its plans concerning the preservation of 
game and the enforcement of the game laws of the State in this 
county. Every person who violates those laws will find the club hot 
on his trail, and he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent, if appre- 
hended. This particular matter the club will make its business, and 
with the determination of seeing the law strictly adnered to. 
Yesterday the contract for the erection of the club house at a point 
just south of the old Yankton county fair grounds was awarded. The 
house will be 25 X 15ft. in dimensions and one story high. It will be 
used by the club for storage and recreative purposes. 
Wilson & Cobb have hung up a trophy to be presented to the marks- 
man whose average shooting is best, at the end of a year. It is a coin 
silver badge comprising a bar and pendant. The bar is engraved 
•Champion" while the pendant is marked "Yankton Gun Club" on its 
face and "1894" on the reverse side. The badge is the handsome work 
of L. A. Cobb, and is worthy the efforts of any shooter to win. 
Princeton Prize Shooting. 
Princeton, N. J., Aug. 4.— The first two of the series of five contests 
for choice of gun or rifle have awakened a great interest among local 
trap-shooters. The handicap governing places all shooters on so even 
a basis that there is a delightfully exciting uncertainty almost until 
the last shot of each match is fired In the first match, last Monday, 
Mr. Robert Schellinger won first place with the excellent score of 21 
out of 31, Messrs Phillips and Hoff winning second and third places 
respectively. In th* Thursday match, Master George Rule won by 21 
breaks for 32 shots. Up to June 30 Master Rule had never fired a shot 
at a moving target with a shotgun, though he was already kuown 
locally as an expert with the rifle. If any other gun club in New Jer- 
sey has a 16-year-old that can equal his record we should like to see a 
match between the lads. Complete scores of the two matches are as 
follows: 
Monday— Shoot No. 1: Phillips shot at 25, broke 15, Rule (32) 15, 
Clark (25) 3, Schellinger (81) 21, Tiffany (25) 13, Hoff (28) 17, Zazzalli 
(35) 6, Stout (29) 15, Seger (25) 6, Wesley (40) 9, Applegate (25) 15 
Thursday— Shoot No. 2: Schellinger shot at 31, broke 15, Wesley C4ff) 
13, Rule (32) 21, Margerum (28) 10, Hoff (28) 19, Skirm (25) 15, Phillips 
(25) 14, Stryker (30) 11, Tiffany (35) 19. 
Hoff and Tiffany tie for second place, Skirm and Schellinger for 
third.
