DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in

The Elizabeth (N. J.) Gun Club's two days' tournament, Oct.. 18 and 
19, promises to be a big shoot. The first day will be for targets, the 
second day live birds. Nobody will be barred, everybody welcome. 
The price of targets (2 cents) will be deducted from the purses; twelve 
entries or less, three moneys; over twelve entries, four moneys; ties 
divided. Shooting commences at 10 A. M. each day. Lunch and 
loaded shells on the grounds, The Elizabeth Oun Club was organized 
ten years ago, and has been shooting quietly ever since, without 
making much noise in the shooting world. It has lately taken a.new 
departure, having enlarged its club house, erected a fence on the 
50yds. boundary for live hird shooting, and built a brick pit securely 
screened for the rapid-firing system. The shooting grounds are only 
ten minutes' walk from the main depot. A stage will be at the depot 
on the arrival of trains, to convey shooters to the grounds. The club 
guarantees fair treatment and a good time to all shooters. 
Robert E. Chetwood, Pres. 
As claimed in the fixtures for 1895, we beg to announce our fifth 
annual to"rnament on Jan. 17. 18 and 19, 1 C P5. We have this year 
added to our regular programme of $1000 in gold, two events: One 
an international team race between Americans and Canadians; rules 
governing this race w'U appear in our official programme later. The 
othpr is a stake race. $15 entrance; to be paid as follows; $5 on Nov. 
1, $5 on Dec. 1, and $5 on Jan. 1. On Jan 1, the nominee must name 
his competitor Any nominee missing one payment will forfeit his 
claims. This race of course will vary in magnitude according to the 
number of entries made; but we feel confident, from our former 
tournaments, lhat weshall have at lea«tl00 entries, making a purse of 
$1500, and this will be divided into 5 moneys; 30, 25, 20. 15 and 10 It 
will be a 15 live bird evtnt. As this is the first that has been introduced 
here, we trust that the shooting fraternity will help to make it a suc- 
cess. All communications addressed to J. W. Bowman, Sec -Treas. 
Hamilton Gun Chin, will receive prompt attention. 
For the Highland Gun Club's tournament, to be held at Des Moines, 
la., on Oct. 16-18, a capital programme for both live bird and target 
events has been prepared. On Oct. 15. the day preceding the tourna- 
ment, two special matches have been arranged. At 1 P. M. John 
Georgeson and H> J. Wilson will shoot for the State championship and 
a purse of $100 The conditions are 25 liv birds, 15 targets and 5 pairs 
of targets. On the conclusion of the above match, Dr. Carver and 
C. W. Budd will shoot a race at 100 live birds per man for a purse of 
$400. 
The Lancaster Gun Club will hold a tournament at live birds and 
targets on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 12 and 13. The programme and 
details of the shoot are given elsewhere. This tournament ought to. 
be a successful one; anyway it's sure to bean enjoyable one, as the 
Lancaster boys know how to entertain their friends. 
There will be no more shooting for the Riverton challenge plate 
until the latter part of this month. Mr. R. A. Welch, the holder, is 
now in Colorado on a huntiag trip but expects to be back by the last 
week of October, when he will shoot a race with Mr. Thos. L, Dando, 
of Philadelphia, who is the next challenger on the list.

Club, held last evening, the following officers were elected to serve 
for the ensuing year: President, Fred'k Bucher; Secretary, Jere. 
Koch; Treasurer, Edwin Stair; Quarter Master, Jacob Rothschild; 
Master of Transportation, Charles Baker. 
The Boston Shooting Association at the Wellington range on Oct. 3, 
had a good day at targets, no less than 3578 targets being thrown in 
the 24 events. In these 24 events just 29 straight scores were tallied 
divided as follows: Jones 5, White and Herbert 4 each; Dickey and 
Wheeler 3 each ; Climax, Snow and Leroy 2 each; Stanton, Sanborn

Mr. W. R. Hobart is back again in this city after a successful 
western trip. Mr. Hobart will, for the balance of the year, attend to 
business in the vicinity of New York and will, incidentally, boom the 
fifteenth annual tournament of the South Side Gun Club, of Newark, 
N. J., set for New Year s Day. 
The two days' tournament at targets, on Oct. 30 and 31, at Marion, 
N. J , promises to be well attended. Nothing of a local nature will 
conflict with the above dates, and the object, a complimentary benefit 
to Mr. C. H. Townsend, the late trap editor of Forest and Stream, is 
one that meets with the approval of theshooters around New York. 
The last of the '94 series of tournaments promoted by the Interstate 
Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association is being held this week in 
Charleston, S. C. The Asscciation's review of the work done during 
the past season will shortly be issued, and should contain some inter- 
esting reading matter. 
Capt. Brewer is booked to shoot Mr. Curamings. a Lancaster, Pa., 
amateur, a race at 50 live birds per man, during the tournament on 
Friday and Saturday, Oct 12 and 13. He ill also shoot a race at 
targets with a prominent local shot during the two days. 
Capt. Miscroft of Worcester, Mass., is ho'ding bis Parker gun very 
straight just now. While at the score at Newburg he requested per- 
fect silence — 1 'Gentlemen, I'm a little nervous"— but he kilted the birds 
all the same. 
The Emerald Gun Club's three days' tournament at targets and live 
birds at Dexter Park, L. I , on Oct. 22, 2>S and 34, is engrossing the at- 
tention of the New York and New Jersey shooters, Massachusetts 
and Pennsylvania will have representatives there also. 
The South Side Gun Club, of Newark, claim New Year's Day Jan. 1, 
1895, as the date for their fifteenth annual New Year's Day tourna- 
ment; all day shoot at targets; W. R. Hobart secretary. 
Was this a typographical error? Clipping from a Western paper; 
"J. A. R Elliott and Dr. W, F. Carver have signed an agreement to 
shoot another series of three matcb.es at live birds for the windahot 
championship of the world."

WESTERN TRAPS. 
Chicago, III,. Oct. 4 —Mr. J„ M. Robinson, all the way out in Mendo- 
cino county, Cat. writes me as below: 
"I see hy a recent issue of my Forest and Stream whpre Mr. 
Bartlett had been entertaining the multitude at a tournament with 
fancy shooting, also where Mr. Brewer had been entertaining in a 
similar manner some time previously. 
"Will you be so kind as to let me know what kicd of fancy shooting 
thppe men do? What do their tricks consist of? 
"When one is attending those tournaments what is the best, neatest, 
most convenient and most popular case to carry one's gun in? Your 
opinion, please. And, do the first-class shooters provide themselves 
with ammunition before attending these shoots, or obtain it on the 
grounds? 
"I am practicing on some fancy shooting myself and expect to give 
something new, but do not know what others are doing of late. 
"I see by the announcements for 1895 that the present shooting 
craze is likely to continue for some time to come. Supposing that I 
should go that way and get right in the midst of your hottest tourna- 
ments, do you think the hoys would do anything to me?" 
The fancy shooting of Brewer. Bartlett, etc., consists chiefly in 
rapid work with the repeating shotgun. Capt. Brewer uses the Win- 
chester repeater, while Capt. Bartlett shoots a Burgess repeating shot- 
gun. In this rapid work three, four and five targets are thrown into 
the air at once by an attendant; very frequently all Ave targets are 
pulverized before they reach the ground Capt. Brewer also shoots at 
targets thrown in the air while prone on his back, and breaks them, 
too. With the shotgun upside down or held sideways it's the same 
thing. Capt. Bartlett's specialties are. among others, two that require 
great quickness. In one he places a loaded shell in the magazine, an 
empty one in the chamber; he then ejects :he shell with a kind of for- 
ward throw and blows it out of sight with the other shell which he has 
pumped into the chamber. In another he hands his loaded gun to an 
attendant, throws a block of wood into the air, turns a "flipper," takes 
his gun and pumps three or four loads into the block of wood before It 
reaches the ground. 
The leather- mutton leg case, with division for stock and for barrels, 
and provided with shoulder-trap for carrying, is at present the most 
popular gun case. Shooters such as attend the tournament circuit 
usually have their own regular loads sent from homo or factory to 
the grounds ahead of them. At nearly all biu shoots good nitro 
ammunition can, however, be had on the grounds or in the town. 
Shooters are superstious about their loads; if they change ammuni- 
tion and miss, they lay it to the load. 
As to what the boys would do to a new man who appeared among 
them. I can not say. It would all depend on the man. If they didn't 
get his wealth, he would be a dandy. I would not counsel Mr. Robin- 
son to come East to attend tournaments expecting to make any 
money now. Kven the best shots don't make money. A novice would 
al.most certainly lose heavily. 
"evil spirit," et al. 
The Chicago shooters will have an opportunity to see Dr. Carver in 
a series of live bird matches here. He has been challenged to shoot 
100-bird races with Eddie Bingham, Abe Kleinman, George Kleinman. 
J. Smith of Evanston, J. A. Ruble and R. S. Mott. The money is said 
to be waiting to bind each match. It would seem that there are many 
Chicago people willing and eager to tread on the "Evil Spirit's" gen- 
erous coat tail. I hope some or all of the matches will be shot and 
that we shall see some good races out of the lot. 
Budd and Carver would draw well here. 
IN CHICAGO. 
Dr. Lenow of Little Rock, Ark., is in the city this week and has 
allowed his Purdey gun to get acquainted with some of the J. Watson 
brand of birds. 
Mr. C E. Bisson informs me that his 12 years old son, the well known 
boy rifle shooter, tried his hand last week for the first time with the 
shotgun at live birds. He shot a 16-gauge with 2Udrs. nitro and %oz. 
shot, and scored eight out of ten. E. Hough.

Trap at San Antonio. 
The closing shoot of the season for the San Antonio Gun Club took 
place at the Lakeview grounds, on Sept. 30. The attendance was good 
and the shooting fair. As has been predicted by the Forest and 
Stream shooting crack for Texas, Mr. I. N. Rothwell was an easy 
winner for the first class trophy for 1S94; Mr. W. S. Smith, a very 
worthy young shooter, is proud of the capture of the second prize. 
The prizes are two guns, a Lefever and an L. C. Smith. Mr. Rothwell 
was awarded the Lefever, the Smith going to its namesake. 
At the prize shoot, Mr. Rothwell jocularly stated that in order to 
make his victory complete, the committee in charge ought to put. up a 
gun case as first prize so that he could have an opportunity of placing 
the trophy gun in new clothes. The suggestion was acted upon, and 
now the Lefever 12-gauge is safely esconsed in a nice case. Mr. Roth- 
well, after winning first in the prize shoot, then distinguished himself 
-by closing the season with a grand winning in the trophy shoot (which 
he did not need) by the handsome score of 27 out of 20 singles and 5 
pairs, thus having 7 winnings to his credit for the seasoD, his closest 
competitor hating but four.

cle for an indefinite period; Wagenfuehr came in for third, and is now

hunting coat in the tie shoot for fourth; Veith, McVicker and Sengg
