DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are inviUd to send their scores for publication, in 
these cobimns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Ties in all events are considered as divided unlpss otherwise reported- 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, SU6 
Broadway, New York, 
Phil Lumbreyer, late manager of the Carteret Club's grounds at 
Bayonne, N. J., has leased those grounds for his own use, since the 
removal of the Carteret Club to Garden City. L. I. Mr. Lumbreyer 
has started in to give shooters in the vicinity of New York city some 
grounds where they can go in less than an hour, and shoot matches 
or practice with all the comfort and quiet that attaches to a propri- 
etary club. The conveniences for shooters at the old Carteret 
grounds are not to be .sneezed at. as they are strictly first class, and 
that means a great deal to shooters. Target shooting will also be a 
specialty at "Phil'.« erounds," as these grounds will shortly be very 
generally called. The simplest way to reach them from this city is 
by a Bayonne trolley from the Pennsylvania station, Jersey City, 
getting off at Nineteenth street. Bayonne, and walking two blocks 
down toward Newark Bay The trip can also be easil.y made by Jer- 
sey Central trains to West Eighth street, where hacks can be found 
to drive one to the grounds for a small sum. Lumbreyer will always 
have plenty of live birds on hand, and a wire or letter to him, ad- 
dressed Bergen Point, N. J , will ensure everything being ready when 
needed. Attached to the grounds is a school of instruction for be- 
ginners, and others who want to correct certain faults and improve 
their f=hoofine. The instructor is none other than Jack Brewer, and 
when it comes to handling a gun easily, gracefully and with effect, 
Brewer should surely be able to give very valuable pointers. 
We receiver! the programme for the fifth tournament of the Penn- 
sylvania and Ohio Border Gujj League too late for notice in our issue 
of Aug. 7. Any mention we make of it now would be useless so far 
as advertisement of the shoot is concerned; the shoot takes place on 
Thursday of this week, Aug. 12. at Warren, O., under the auspices of 
the local gun club. The programme is, however, rather an unusual 
one. and it might interest the managers of other leaeu^s to know just 
what the P. & O. Border Gun Club League does in this line. A 10- 
and two 15-target events start the programme, entrance fees being 
at the usual rate of JO cents per target^ No. 4 is a 25-target handicap 
race for a model '97 Winchester repeating shotgun. No. 5 is a 15-Tar- 
get event. No. 6 is the League team contest, 25 targets per man. 
Nos. 7 and 8 are handicaps, 40 targets per man, the prizes being re- 
spectivelya Parker gun nnd an L. C. Smith gun. In No. 4 there is an 
optional sweep of $2, and in Nos. 7 and 8 there is an optional sweep 
on each 30 targets of $2. The programme is faulty in that it omits 
any mention what the entrance is for either of three handicap events, 
neither does it state how the moneys in the ordinary 10- and 15-target 
events are to be divided. It does, however, make the following state- 
ment: "The club reserves the right to place a handicap in the sweep- 
stake events." 
Trap-shooting is not such a very new sport in this country after all, 
yet it is a fact that the reports of events at the traps which appear 
in 99 out of every IOjO daily papers are peculiarly weak, and that the 
salient points of the match or sweepstake are generally either missed 
entirely or only slurred ever. Trap-shooting is now about as popular 
a sport as any. save horse racing and baseball, and has as maoy de- 
votees as any other, save the two mentioned above Yet any sort of 
a reporter is usually considered enough for a shoot, unless it is some- 
thing like the Grand American Handicap or a society ma'ch at one 
of the swell clubs. And why is it that in reports of yacht races a 
boat can be said to luff, gybe, set her spinaker to starboard, etc., 
■without the words being quoted? And in golf rep'irts, the writer 
uses tbe word iron, cleek, putting, etc., witho"t the use of quotation 
marks? But take a report of a shoot and a whole lot of quotation 
marks are thrown in haphazard, thus: "drivers "' "miss-and-outs," 
"quarterers," etc. These words are just as well understood by those 
who read the reports as the term "out-curve"' is in a baseball re- 
port, yet you never see that word quoted. 
Capt. Money made what we believe to be a new record on Wednes- 
day of last week, Aug. 4. On that date he went to the Riverton Gun 
Club, having to defend his title to two trophies. Each of these 
matches was a 100- target race; he also shot for the club trophy, an- 
other lOO-target race. In addition to this total of 300 targets, he shot 
at another 265 during the day in sweeps and in practice, making a 
total of' 565 targets for the day The three Trophies he shot for were 
three guns, and he holds the title to each one of them, winning both 
the matches and tbe club shoot. Ordinarily £65 targets would satisfy 
anybody for a week or so; but Capt Money was on hand at Boihng 
Springs on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 7, and did rather more than his 
share in breaking targets. As a result of the 565 targets in one day, 
he said that his shoulder was "a little sore"; but it didn't seera to 
bother him at all on Saturday. 
Mr. E. A. .Jackson, secretar.y of the Bergen Oounty Gun Club, of 
Hackensack, N. J., asks ns to make the following announcement: 
"The regular monthly handicap contest for the E. C. cup of the 
Bereen County Gun Club will take place on the grounds of chat club 
at Hackensack, N. J., on Saturday, Aug. 21. The conditions are 50 
targets, unknown angles. Handicap to consist of extra birds to shoot 
at, 15 being the maximum. This cup is open to members and friends 
of the above club, and must be shot for until won three times by one 
person. Entrance, price of birds. At the conclusion of the cup 
shoot there will be a team race between the Endeavor Gun Club and 
♦he Bergen County Gun Club, ten men on each side, S5 targets per 
man." 
The Ontario Rod and Gun Club League's shoot on Aug. 26-27, at 
Waterloo, Ont., may have the effect of keeping a few Canadians 
from attending the Interstate shoot at Montpelier, and for that reason 
the clashing of dates, the Montpelier shoot being set for Aug. S.5-26, is 
to be deprecated. The Montpelier dates have been in the fixture col- 
umns of all the sportsmen's papers for some months, and a little 
care in selection of dates by the Ontario R. and Q. C. L. woiild have 
avoided any clashing. The Montpelier shoot is.iiowever, all right 
anyway, and, according to our -way of looking at things, will be an- 
other success for the Interstate Association to brag about in its an- 
nual review. The club !•= a popular one, and there is plenty of trap- 
shooting enthusiasm in Vermont and neighboring States. 
We have received the following note for publicatien; "The 
Chatham, N. J., Fish and Game Protective Association will hold a 
target shoot on their grounds on Saturday, Aug. 14. The principal 
event will be a handicap sweep for a new Winchester repeating shot- 
gun, 1897 model. This prize is offered b.y the club, and will be con- 
tested for without any charge for entrance other than the regular 
charge for targets, namely, 2 cents each. A consolation prize will be 
offered for the second highest score. A good deal of interest has 
been shown of late in target shooting at this club, the fine grounds 
being largely answerable for this. A large contingent of the local 
trap-shooters is expected to participate in this event." 
In our report of the Gilbert- Heikes match for the target champion 
ship of the United States, a grave error was made by the compositor 
■who setup the type in the unknown angles. The totals were carried 
out correctly, and the targets lost by Gilbert, his 39th and 41st, were 
also shown correctly in the score. The mistake was in Heike.s's score, 
where his total shows 47, but the lost targets are made but two in 
number, and are also placed in the wrong position. Heikes lost his 
7th, 17th and 20th targets, just as stated in our report, which said; 
"Heikes commenced with a loss of 3 out of his lirst 20, finishing 
.«trongly with ao straight." In all other respects the detailed scores 
are perfectly accurate. 
Mr. Charles E. Morrison, secretary-treasurer of the Mountain State 
Gun Club, of Parkersburg. W. Va., sends us the follovsing notice: 
"On tbe evening of Sept. U a meeting of tbe representatives of the 
several gun clubs of West Virginia will be held here for the organiza- 
tion of a State Associaiion, election of officer.^, adoption of constitu- 
tion and by-laws, etc , etc. On Sept. 15 and 16 following said meeting, 
the Mountain State Gun Club will give a bluerock target tournament, 
with both State and open events. Our club has recently put in a 
magautrap, and also has a full set of expert fraps^ so will be able to 
please all who may attend our shoot." 
Cbarhe Young, of Springfield, O., has made a record for the season 
of 1897 that it will be hard for anyone to take from him. On July 3D, 
a t the grounds of the Springfield 'Gun Club, he made the great riin of 
151 8traight,'unknown angles. Altogether he shot at 176 targets, los- 
ing his 8th, 13th, 21st and 173(1. a remarkable piece of shooting. Our 
correspondent does not state whether the shooting was practice work 
or not, hut wa conclude that it was. About two years ago (it was on 
Thursday, Sept. 28, 1895,) Captain Bartlett made a precisfly similar 
run of 15] straight, on the third day of the Rochester, N. Y, Rod and 
Gun Club's tournament. Capt. Bartlett's run, howe-rer, was "unfin- 
ished," being made on the last 151 targets on the programme. The 
events were scheduled as foBows: 20. 20, 20, 50, 20, 25, 20, 20. Bart- 
lett's scores were: 19, 17, 19, 50, 20, 25, 20, 20. He lost the fourth tar- 
get in event No. 3. Bartlettdid not continue his run, as he had to 
shoot Jack Parker a 100 target race for theSchmelzer trophy before it 
got too dark to see The Schmelz^r trophy crops up again in connec- 
tion with this run of Young's, as he is at present "one-third reversed 
order champion," Rolla Heikes andFerd Van Dyke respectively own- 
ing the other two-thirds interest in the Schmelzer trophy. On the 
same day that Bartlett made his long run, E. C. Meyers, of the 
Rochester Club, made a run of 129 straight. Young's load was Srtr.'^. 
E. C, IMoz. 71^ chilled shot, U. M. C factory-loaded ammunition. 
Smokeless shell. We understand that he was using a gun of his own 
make. 
Tuesday next, Aug. 17, will be a gala day at the grounds of the 
Brooklyn (N. Y ) Gun Club The main event, which will bestartedat 
2 P. M , prompt, will be a 30-target handicap for a gold watch. $-iM 
entrance. John Wright will be on hand to boss things, while Eddie 
Morehouse will turn the crank that churns out targets from the 
club's magautrap The grounds are easily reached from New York 
and vicinity, being located at the terminus of the King's Oounty Ele- 
vated, m Brooklyn, Liberty avenue and Enfield street, 30 minutes run 
from the Brooklyn end of the bridge, or 35 minutes from the ferry 
terminus at Pulton street, Brooklyn. 
Owing to the clashing of dates! between the Elliott-Glover and the 
Elliott-Budd matches, Charlie Budd has named Aug. 28, 2 P. 51., and 
the grounds of the Eau Claire, Wis., Gun Club, as the date, time and 
place for the match, instead of Aug 14, aspreviously stated in Budd's 
acceptance of Elliott's challenge. The Elliott-G lover match will come 
off at Rochester, N. Y., on Saturday next, Aug. 14, at 2 P. M. There 
will be an all-day live bird shoot as well; and on the day previous, 
Aug 13, a tournament at targets will be held under the auspices of 
the Rochester, N. Y., Rod and Gun Club. 
The Lewiston, Me., interstate shoot was another success to be added 
to the list of those made by the Interstate Association this season. 
An average of over thirty-one entries on the first day, and of over 
twenty five on the second day, are figures that must be counted as 
extremely flattering. It should be remembered that there was no 
added money to attract shooters; it was simply a shoot under the 
auspices of the Androscoggin Gun Club, but managed and run by the 
Interstate Association. 
Dr. Gagnon seems to have struck somewhat of a snag in the 
matches he has made recently. In his match with D. J. Bradley at 
Elkwood Park, on Blonday, Aug. 2. he met defeat by the score o'f 95 
to 84. Again, in his match with Fred Hoey at tbe Hollywood grounds 
on the next da.y, he also lost by a wide margin. The conditions of 
this race were 50 birds per man, Hoey to stand at 31yds., Gagnon at 
30, Hoey conceding him two misses as kills; 21yds. (Hollywood) bound- 
ary. Hoey scored 44 to the Doctor's 37, 
The W. J. Healey Hardware Co.. of Mitchell, S. D , writes us under 
date of Aug. 3 as follows: "Our shooting tournament, the dates of 
which have heretofore conflicted with other tournaments, will be 
held in this city this fall, Sept. ai. 22 and 23. The list of prizes and 
events will be out soon, and will include many valuable prizes; and 
the shoot ■will, no doubt, attract a large number of sportsmen." 
We are informed by Mr. L W. Cumberland, of Kokomo, Ind., 
secretary-treasurer of the Trap-Shooters' League of Indiana, that 
the League has granted to the Erie Gun Club, of Huntington, Ind., a 
sanction for a tournament on Oct. 22-23. Further information in re- 
gard to this tournament may be obtained by addressing Mr. J. L. 
Brown, secretary of the Erie Gun Club. 
At the Central Gun Club's tournament at Duluth, Minn., Hirch, of 
St Paul, won first average with 225 out of 260. Bennett, of St. Paul, 
and C. E Bobbins, of Fargo, tied for second and third with 211 breaks. 
Wilson, of St. Cloud, was fourth with 212, Dr. Day, of Duluth, being 
fifth with 210. Mrs. Shattuck, of Minneapolis, led the ladies with 182 
out of 250; the Duchess was next ■with 163, Mrs. Johnson, of Minne- 
apolis, being third with 154. 
A man very seldom knows when he is well off. One week ago we 
were feeling very sore that we could not be present at the Lewiston 
shoot, threats having passed between Rich Hunnewell and ourselves 
that we would do each other up at targets, As Rich stands third on 
the list of general averages with something like 92 per cent, to his 
credit, fate was perhaps not so unpropitious after all. 
The fifth contest for the Recreation cup takes place at the Bergen 
County Gun Club's grounds, Hackensack, N J., Wednesday of this 
week, Aug. 11. Both Sinnock and Remsen wfll be on hand without a 
doubt, each having two wins to their credit, with only three more 
contests for the cup to be accounted for. The man winning it the 
greatest number of times out of the seven shoots is to become the 
owner of this handsome trophy. 
Frank Hall won the third heat for the silver tea service, donated 
by the Boiling Springs Gun Club for competition oo the flr.st and third 
Wednesdays of every month. The "147 handicap" was brushed 
aside, and a return was made to the old system of extra targets to 
shoot at. Hall shot very strongly, and had no trouble in scoring a 
iO straight with the aid of 6 handicap. He broke 23 oat of each 25, 
and 4 on his handicap allowance, with one target to spare. Ferd Van 
Dyke has two wins to his credit. 
Jack Winston may use this for advertising purposes without any 
extra charge. On Thursday last a passenger on the Fall River line 
jumped overboard, according to tbe daily papers. Some of the other 
passengers saw him jump, and informed the captain. Search was 
made to find out who was missing, and it was found the occupant of 
stateroom 147 was the man who had jumped into the Sound, 
It is proposed to make a special feature of a 25 bird race on the 
fourth day of the tournament of the New Jersey State Sportsm'u's 
Association at Clifton race track, Passaic, N, .1., Sept. S8-Oct, 1. The 
race will be 25 live birds, $15, birds extra, with at least $500 guaran- 
teed to the three high guns The tournament will be two days at 
targets and two days at live birds. 
We learn from Elkwood Park that, oh account of the Horse Show 
at Hollywood this week, the shoot for the cup presented by Mr. Max 
Bleiman has been postponed until Friday, Aug 20. On Saturday, 
Aug. 14, there will be special handicaps, witn conditions made on the 
grounds to suit shooters. 
The Trap- Shooters' League of Indiana has granted to tbe Terra 
Haute, Ind., Gun Club a sanction for a toui-namenfc, to be held under 
the auepiees of that club, Sept. 8-9. Mr. Albert Neukom, secretary of 
the Terre Haute Gun Club, will gladly supply any further information. 
The Many and Robeline, La , gun clubs have joined forces and will 
give joint shoots on Aug, 26 -27 and Sept, 11-ia. Trap-shooting is said 
to be on the boom in Louisiana this year, and both these tournaments 
are likely to be well patronized.

organization of that city. 
DULUTH SHOOT. 
At Duluth, Minn,, the fifth annual shoot of the Central Gun Cluh 
was brougb c to a successful close last week. Nine events were ruQ 
off the first day.
