FOREST AND STREAM, 
[Nov. 28, 1896. 
DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Vaul R. Litzlse, of Little Rock, Ark., writes us tinder date of Nov. 
20 as follows: "Oscar C. fluessaz writes me under date of the ISth 
inst. that active preparations fire now being made for their second 
annual toumamenl, and that the dates selected for it are .Tan. 20-25 
1897. while the added money will be the same as last year, $2,000. In 
addition to the money there will also be a trophy contest for the 
Scbmelzer Oup, at present held by Mr. James W. Sexton, of Leaven- 
worth, £ans., who has generously consented to put the trophy up for 
open competition. This is only one of the many kind offers made by 
the sportsmen all over the country, showing how much interest 
there is taken in the approaching shoot. The railroads are going to 
make liberal concessions, and there will be greatly reduced rates as a 
special inducement to the sportsmen. Game of all kinds is unusually 
abundant this season in Texas, and not only are quail, turkf y and deer 
plentiful, but the duck shooting is also excellent, as the lakes are full 
of water, something not found every whpre in the South this fall. The 
holding of the shoot two weeks later than last year is also a good 
move, as one can now take in the Midwinter and then spend two 
weeks game shooting, and then return to Hot SprineB in time for the 
big live-bird handicaps which John J. Sumpter, Jr., will pull off. 
How is this as an opener for '97f The Memphis Club has abandoned 
the idea of holding a tournament this fall." 
The members of the Calumet Heights Gun Club, of Chicago, III., 
are singularly blessed. Read the following note from Patty, explain- 
ing the absence of target scores made by members of that club: 
"Biuerock shooting has been indulged in but little for the past two 
weeks on account of members spending the mornings on the river 
(Grand Calumet) killing ducks, returning for dinner and in time for 
rifle shoot. On Tuesday and Wednesday of last week Messrs. Lam- 
phere and Paterson bagged fifty-eight, most of which were bluebills; 
on Saturday last they brought in nineteen; others had strings of 
fourteen, nine, and so on. While we do not look for great shooting 
so near the city, we believe we get our share. Thanksgiving Day ends 
the shooting year of the club and a programme has been' arranged 
for shotgun and rifle contests for prizes." 
We have sent out during the past week several copies of proposed 
new rules for target shooting. We have done oru- best to mail them 
to parties who seemed to us as likely to study the same carefully and 
to be able to give us more hints thereon. The rules now in use, good 
as they are, have been proved time and again to be lacking in certain 
particulars, and we have done our best to cover all points in plain 
language. Of course, there are defects, but, with the aid of our 
friends, we hope to be able finally to offer a set of rules that will be 
nearly perfect. Proposed new rules for live-bird shooting are now in 
type, but they will have to undergo the same ncjutiny as the above 
before being declared O. K. 
In another portion of our trap columns we give the body of the an- 
nual review issued by the Interstate Association. These annual re- 
views are always interesting, marking, as they do, each step in the 
Association's career as a trap-shooting foster-mother. The season of 
1896, judging from the contents of the ruview, has been in reality its 
most successful season since its organization, about seven years 
ago. There is one feature about the Association's methods which 
we especially appreciate: It goes where it will do most good, not 
where it will have the largest attendance. The banner tournament 
held under its auspices in 1896 was that given by the Portland, Me., 
Gun Club, July 23-23, with an average entry the first day of 3534, and 
on the second day of SO'^j. 
Mr. Swenson. secretary of the East Pittsburg (Pa ) Gun Club, sends 
us the following note; "The E, C. Powder Co has, through Mr. O. M. 
Hostetter (Old Hoss), presented the East Pittsburg Gun Club with a 
handsome silver cup, to be shot for by the members of the club. The 
shoots wiU be held every second and last Saturday for four months, 
everyone to shoot at 100 targets per month, best shooter to keep the 
cup for the month following. The final will be a -JOO-target race, best 
shooter to become owner of the cup." 
Friends of Jas. F. Taylor, the popular member of the West New- 
burgh Gun and Rifle Association, will be sorry to learn that he was 
unable to shoot on the Blooming Grove Park Association's team at 
the team race at the N. Y. Athletic Club's grounds last Saturday, 
owing to an attack of sickness. Taylor is one of the best sTiots at 
either live birds or targets in this section, and recently won every- 
thing before him at the Blooming Grove Park Association's toiu-na- 
ment for members only. 
At the Vicksburg (Miss,) tournament, Nov. 17-18. H. G. Wheeler, of 
Marlboro. Mass., won first average each day. The raagautrap was 
used, and Wheeler broke 182 out of 200 shot at on the first day; 189 on 
1 he second day. This was a most successful de6?t< for him as a full- 
blown representative the King Powder Co., for that's what Gil is now. 
He's out for blood, and says that he will shoot King's Smokeless to 
the top of them all. 
We wrote a letter to Jack Parker about four weeks ago and have 
not to date received a line from him. Of course we realize what he is 
doine to the ducks on Lake Erie in the vicinity of Alouille Point, and 
can therefore partially excuse the apparent neglect of his less 
favored friends. We've been to Swan Greek ourselves, and can yet, 
in imagination and with closed eyes, see those flocks of mud hens that 
made our mouth water until we knew what they were. 
Thanksgiving Day shoots will be as numerous as usual. There will 
be sweepstake shooting at Dexter Park all day, while at Oakwood Inn , 
Elizabeth, N. J., Nate Astfalk has provided nn excellent bill of fare. 
The Boiling Springs Club, of Rutherford, N. J., holds its annual 
turkey shoot for the members of that club and its friends. The En- 
deavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., also holds an all-day shoot at 
Its Marion grounds. 
The Lockport, N. Y., Gun Club holds a tournament to-morrow (Nov. 
25) at its grounds in that city. This is the first annual shoot of the 
club, and it is making special efforts to achieve success in this line. A 
six-men team race is a feature on the programme. The Rose system 
of dividing purses will be used. The appointments of the club are up 
to date, expert traps with electric pull being a portion of Its equip- 
ment. 
Charlie Zwirlein writes ua that he has received a letter from Jim 
Elliott stating that he leaves Knnsas City for Trenton, N. J., immedi- 
ately after his match on Nov. 27. He also states that there are over 
30 entries for the handicap, and adds that entries will be received up 
to the conclusion of the second round on Dec. 1. He has plenty of 
excellent birds on hand, and says that the boys won't complain of 
their quality. 
Charlie Budd has been doing some excellent work on live birds 
lately, and now comes into the field and chellenges Jim Elliott for the 
cup he won recently from J. E. Riley, of Kansas City. The trophy 
was presented by the Kansas City Star, and was won by Riley at the 
Missouri State shoot last May. Both Elliott and Budd are shooting 
well, so the match should prove a good drawing card and a hard one 
to win. 
Neaf Apgar and Jake Blendermann left for Washington, Ind., the 
home of Jack Winston, on Nov, 22 tor a week's quail shooting. The 
two above named, accompanied by Tom Keller, had a great day's rab- 
bit hunting last week on a farm in New Jei sey owned by Mr. iSlender- 
mann. The party had lots of fun and got a fair supply of rabbits, 
bringing home a total of 14 head. 
"Fixtures" for the season of 1897 come in very slowly. Does this 
mean that it is going to be an o(T year for target shooting tourna- 
ments? We understand the Cobweb Gun Club, of New York, is con- 
sidering the advisability of holding a big tournament at its grounds, 
Bavchester, N. Y., during the week of the Sportsmen's Exposition' 
A big event at live birds is suggested as part of the programme. 
The Forest Gun Club, of Philadelphia, Pa., advertises a shoot at its 
grounds on Thanksgiving Day. All events will be at targets, popular 
prices, and all purses will be divided on the Rose system. The 
grounds are located at Twenty-seventh street and Lehigh ayenue, 
Philadelphia. 
The membership of the Interstate Association has received a 
great acquisition in the shape of the Du Pont Powder Co, There 
is every prospect that before the annual meeting of the Association, 
Dee. 17, one or two more firms will come into the fold and help on the 
good cause. 
Shooters in the vicinity of New York should not forget that Fri- 
day, Nov. 27, is the date set for the Dutchy Smith- Wolstenoroft match 
at the Fanwood, N. J. . grounds of the Climax Gun Club. The match 
is at 100 targets, expert rule, one man up, for the Austin Powder 
Co.'s cup and |35 a corner. The match commences at S P. M. 
The dog got in its deadly work on the Trap department this week, 
and several Interesting reports of shoots have had to be held over until 
next week. B. Waters's chuckle as he scans this week's issue In his 
quarters at Newton, N. C, will be more than a ripple. 
The invitation three-men team race shot on Saturday last, Nov. 21, 
on the grounds of the N. Y. Athletic Club, was a most suocesaful 
affair, despite the unpleasant character of the weather. The scores 
were low, but the shooting was hard. 
The contest for the Secreation cup, Dec, 12, on the grounds of the 
Bergen County Gun Club, of Haekeosack, K J., should prove an in 
teresting affair. The cup is open to non-professional members of all 
New Jersey clubs. 
Oscar Guesaaz announces that the San Antonio Midwinter Toui'na» 
ment will be held Jan. 20-35. This will satisfy many of 9tir eorre-

Mr. 0. A. Dammann, the gentleman upon wtiom the mantle ot Irby 
Bennett, as representative of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., has 
fallen, is a brotber-in-law of Mr. Bennett. Mr. Dammann bids fair, 
judging from what Paul Litzke says, to rival his brother-hi-law's 
claim for popular favor. 
We are Informed that Dr. Carver has posted a forfeit to shoot 
George Roll for the Du Pont trophy. Winston, however, if he makes 
good his expressed intention, will have the call, as he has had his for- 
feit up to shoot the winner of the Claridge-Roll match ever since 
Nov, 7. ■ 
Shooters, crackerjacks or otherwise, who want a shoot at Knox- 
ville, Tenn,, next May, should hasten to let Roger Van Gilder know 
what they think about such a scheme. A letter addressed to Mr. Van 
Gilder at Knoxville will have no difficulty in reaching him. 
The second match of the series of three arranged between the En- 
deavor Gun Club, of Jersey City, N. J., and the Bereren County Gun 
Club, of Efackensaok, N. J,, will take place at Marion Dec. 3. Theteam 
race will be shot at 2 P. M., sweepstakes commencing at 13. 
What has become of the proposed resuscitation of the New Jersey 
State Sportsmen's Association? Why does not its president, "Uncle 
Al" Heritage, call the promised meeting at Taylor's Hotel, Jersey 
City? New Jersey needs its State Association badly.

The Vicksburg Tournament. 
ViCKSBUKG, Miss., Nov. 18.— It is a signiflcant fact that all the tour- 
naments in the South are successful and enjoyable affairs, and the 
fifth annual tournament of the Hill City Gun Club proved no excep- 
tion to the rule. Here in the South one receives such open-handed 
hospitality, and the welcome that is accorded makes one always anx- 
ious to attend such gatherings. The announcement of an approach- 
ing tournament carries with it a gleam of anticipation and a desire to 
attend that is almost irresistible. This is the whole secret of the suc- 
cess of the Southern tournaments. The Hill City Gun Club offered no 
great inducements, as 5200 added money in these days of big tourna- 
ments is not considered miich of a drawing card. Under these condi- 
tions the club could not expect a large attendance, nor did they look 
for one; a tournament ot this kind must naturally look for its visitors 
from the neighboring cities, for it is not to be expected that shooters 
can be drawn any great distance with the inducements above referred 
to. Then it must be remembered that this is the height of the shoot- 
ing season, and it has been a long time since all game native to the 
South has been bo plentiful. These conditions and the fact that it has 
been a year of numerous tournaments, both large and small, all over 
the country, doubtless kept the attendance down. 
When gauging the success of this shoot by its attendance all the 
above facts must be taken into consideration. Comparing this shoot 
with any similar one, it will be found that the entries ran nearly up to 
the average : 25 to 40 shooters is what one generally finds at gather- 
ings of this kind. Not one of those present will say that they had 
anything but a pleasant time, and that the shoot was not a success, 
nor that they failed to enjoy their visit, or regretted their trip to 
Vicksburg. The club made no money, it is true, but this was not the 
club's object, as here in the South few tournaments are conducted 
for revenue only. Trap-shooting has been on the wane in Vicksburg, 
and it was principally to try to rejuvenate the sport here that this 
shoot was given. No little credit is due Messrs. Brad field, Wright, 
Miller, Piukston and Porterfleld for their efforts in this direction, and 
it is safe to assert that should they hold another shoot, as they con- 
template doing in the spring, the attendance will be much larger; for 
all of those who were present this time will return and will endeavor 
k 0 have others come. 
visitors' boli.. 
There were present during the shoot the following: W. A. Bonner, 
Duncan, Miss.; Dr. Forsythe and Harry W. Stevenson, Monroe, La.; 
J. L. White, Memphis, Tenn. ; Frank J. Arrighi, H. L. Baker, James 
Pipes and E. L. Wilson, Natchej;, Miss. ; Henry Dinkins, Angullla, 
Mlsa.; Hugh L. Foote, Rolling Forks, Miss.; Alex. P. Smith, Van 
Meter and Arnold. Greenville, Miss ; H. C Morris, Mayersville, Miss.; 
E. L. Sharkey, Refuge. Miss,; and J. C. Morris, Brunswick, Miss. 
There were also the following trade representatives on hand: A. W. 
du Bray, representing the Parker Gun Company, Meriden, Conn. 
Paul North, working the magautrap, and talking bluerocks for the 
Cleveland Tareet Co , of Cleveland, O. ; H. Q. Wheeler, making his 
debut as a representative of the King's Smokeless Powder Co., of Cin- 
cinnati, O., explaining the merits of the powder and Peters's rein- 
forced shell. Popular Tom Callender, of Nashville, Tenn., was also 
there, taking care of Laflin & Rand's interest, and their new W-A 
powder. Dave Porterfleld, whose home is Vicksburg, was saying 
something; about Du Font's and Hazard powder. Last, but not least, 
there was C. A. Dammann, a Winchester Repeating Arms Co. repre- 
sentative, who has lately stepped into Irby Bennett's shoes; all indi- 
cations are that he will fill bis predecessor's place with equal ability. 
THE GBOUNDS. 
The programme stated that the shoot would be held at the Exposi- 
tion grounds, and the club anticipated no difliculty in securing them 
for this purpose; but when they attempted to make arrangements to 
this effect the directors only asked the modest sum of $50 per day for 
the use of them, also retaining the privilege of serving refreshments 
and lunch. This of course the club could not consider, and had to 
look elsewhere for grounds. They finally selected a piece of land just 
opposite the city, on the sandbar near the Louisiana line, quite easy 
of access, and with a fair background. It was only a few minutes' 
ride from the hotel; or, if one chose to walk, it was about 10 blocks. 
The river formerly ran along here, and during the seige of Vicksburg 
many an Important engagement took place here between the Federal 
gunboats and the Rebel forts that overlook the river. Traces of these 
are still visible, and one of the most Important ones, known as the 
Devil's Backbone, could be seen from the shooting grounds. Here In 
the old river bed the club had arranged a temporary grounds, and a 
shelter had been erected to protect the shooters in case of a rain, an d 
plenty of chairs had been provided. All kinds of refreshments were 
served on the grounds. The weather throughout the shoot was fine, 
and the only thing absolutely necessary for the comfort of the guests 
were the seats. 
The club had made arrangements with Elmer E. Shaner to manage 
the shoot for them, but owing to illness Mr. Shaner was unable to 
attend; so Paul North, who was present to show off his new magau- 
trap, took charge, and conducted the affair in a most excellent man- 
ner. The club at first intended to use a set of biuerock expert traps, 
but Paul put up his magautrap, and so well did it work that the club 
never regretted the change. 
The first day shooting did not begin until 10 o'clock, and the pro- 
gramme events were started about 11:80. So well did the trap work 
that all events were finished before dark, and very little shooting can 
now be done after 6 o'clock. It required about 400 targets for the pro- 
gramme events, and when shooting is begun at 8:30, as is usually the 
case in the summe'* time, it will be possible to throw about 7,500 tar- 
gets a day from this trap, and the cost of trapping should not be over 
$1 50. The company will put them on the market by the first of the 
year. The trap seemed to work much better than when I first saw it 
at the Cleveland tournament, where it was operated by experienced 
hands, but here by green boys. 
Mr. C. J, Wright acted us cashier, while Messrs. Miller, Bradfleld, 
Pinkston and Porterfleld looked after the welfare of the guests. The 
Rose system of dividing the purses was used, and as usual gave entire 
satisfaction and made a number of new converts. Wheeler did not 
think much of it before the shoot, but afterward expressed himself to 
the effect that he was now convinced that this was the only absolute 
fair system. There were five moneys, and the points established were 
7, 5, 4, 3 and 3. All events were at unknown angles. 
FIRST DAY. 
The opening day of the shoot was bright and clear, with a good 
stiff breeze blowing from the score, which added to the difficulty of 
the shooting. The magautrap too was as puzzling to the shooter, 
with its deceptive curves, as are those of a pitcher in a baseball game. 
Though there were a number of good shots present, only two reached 
the 90 per cent. mark. Owing to the difflculty referred to above In 
regard to securing grounds, shooting did not commence until 10 
o'clock, when a 15-bird extra was shot to give those present a line on 
the new trap. The programme proper was not begun until an hour 
and a half later, and though it called for 200 shots, and the entries 
averaged 20, the trap was equal to the occasion, and the entire pro- 
gramme was shot through by 5:15. 
When the averages for the day were computed it was found that 
Wheeler was in the van with 91 per cent. Then came Miller with 90, 
closely followed by Dr. Forsythe with 89. White, however, made an 
average of 90, but shot only in one event, a number entirely too small 
to base an average on. During the day 26 shooters participated in the 
shoot, the largest number in any event being 22 and the smallest 16. 
The extra event had 20 entries, and of this number one only, Miller, 
made a straight. This shooter also made two straights in the regular 
events, a feat that none of the other contestants were equal to. The 
table below shows the standing of all those who participated:

SECOND DAY. 
During the early part of the morning it was hazy, but by noon it 
had cleared off, and the day was even warmer than yesterday; there 
was no wind blowing, however, and the experience of the previous 
day'had familiarized the shooters with the work in hand, so averages 
ran much higher. With the exception of Stevenson, most of the con- 
testants improved their percentage; Stevenson, for no apparent rea- 
son whatever, was clearly 'way out of form, as he stood fifth on the 
first day. The entries ran very uniform, the fewest being 18 and the 
most 21 ; 28 shooters participated in the programme events of the day, 
two more than on the first day. 
Wheeler again led the procession with the excellent percentage of 
94.5. He made no less than three straights in the regular events and 
one in the extras. Dr. Forsythe kept up his fine work, and to-day he 
landed second with 93 per cent., Miller being third with 92 per cent., 
just exchanging places as compared with their standing of the day 
before. There were also two extra 15-target events shot. In the first 
one Miller, Porterfleld and Wheeler made straights, while in the second 
Smith and Paul North made straights. 
The table below gives the standing of all those who made an aver- 
age of 60 per cent, or better. The following failed to reach that per 
cent., or shot in only one event; Callender, Folkes, Kline, Lee, Wailes 
and Searles:

IHJRBSTBB GUN CLUB, OV NEWARK. 
Nov. i/j.— The Forester Gun Club, of Newark, held its regular 
monthly shoot this afternoon on its grounds, near the Lehigh Valley 
Railroad's coal shutes in that city. The wind blew very strongly from 
the north and swept across the meadows, making the shooting quite 
bard. The attendance of members was very good, the main attraction 
being a special prize In the shape of one of Laflin & Rsnd's silver kegs 
of W-A powder. This prize was competed for at 50 targets per man, 
25 known traps and angles, and 25 expert rule. Sinnock was the win- 
ner with ft score of 43, made up of S3 at known angles and 20 at expert 
rule; Hayes ran him close with 42, after making only 19 at known 
angles. W. Smith and Wambold scored 41, and landed in third place. 
The scores in this event were as follows:

Haverhill Gun Club. 
Haverhill, Mass., Nov. 20,— On Wednesday, 18th inst., the Haver 
hill Gun Club held an all-day shooting tournament on their grounds 
at Hoyt's Grove, in this city. 
The weather conditions looked anything but favorable in the morn- 
ing, the sky being overcast and a strong southeast wind blowing, 
with an occasional slight fail of rain. Many of the expected out-of- 
town visitors failed to put in an appearance, doubtless on that ac- 
count. But the day proved to be fairly good, no rain falling after the 
shooting commenced, although the sky remained overcast, which 
made the light rather bad, especially in the afternoon. The following 
are the scores made:
