DRIVERS AND TWISTERS, 
Ghib secretaries are invited to send their scores for ptilM- 
cation in these columns, also any news notes they m ay care 
to have printed. Ties in all events are considered as di- 
vided unless otherudsc reported. Mail all such matter to

The invitation issued liy the Endeavor Gun Club, of Jersey 
City, N. J., for its New Year's Day shoot reads as follows: "You 
and j'our friends are cordially invited to be present at our annual 
'jollification shoot,' Jan. 1, 1898. It is our intention to have a good 
time on this occasion, and shall take pains and care to make our 
friends feel at home and enjoy their outing. We will slacken the 
speed of our famous far-throwing traps so as to make shooting as 
easy as practicable. Our ))rograrnme, as will De seen, ia not one 
th^tt will destroy the lining of pocketbooks, and consequently it 
isf not a professional game. The prizes we offer are of the very 
highest quality, and will be shot for under a handicap." The pro- 
gramme calls for 175 targets, with a total entrance fee of $7. There 
ate two prize handicap events, Nos. 0 and 10, on the programme, a 
20 and 25 target event respectively. No. 9 is for a handsome 
silver mounted toilet set, while the prize in No. 10 is donated by a 
member of the club. The other events are all interesting ones, 
with entrance fees at "popular prices." 
For a few months Charlie Hebbard, late of Elizabeth, N. J., and 
also late of the Empire Target Company, has been lost to our 
view. At last we have heard from hira. Part of his advices run as 
follows: "We have our target buildings completed, and will 
be ready to manufacture the 'White Flyer' by Jan. 1. When I 
say that we have tlie finest and most complete plant for the pur- 
pose in the country, I am not telling any ghost story." As Charlie 
himself used to be fond of saying, "Yon can't keep good people 
down; they will break 25 straight sometimes!" From which we 
judge that Mr. Hebbard and the "White Flyer" will probably be 
very much in evidence during the coming season. 
The x""ogrammc for the Keystone Shooting League's New Year's 
Day shoot at Holmesburg Jtinction, Pa., is as follows: 20 birds, 
$10, $75 guaranteed for first money; $50 guaranteed for second 
money, and $25 guaranteed for third monej'. Class shooting. En- 
tries to be made" by Geo. E. Pack, 137 N. Second street, Philadel- 
phia, accompanied by $2.50 forfeit, on or before 10 A. M. day of 
shoot. All entries received up to that hour will be acted upon by 
the Handicap Committee; all other entries will shoot from the 
30yds. mark. Handicap Committee — Wm. M. Pack, Harry Thur- 
man and H. L. David. For every two entries above 15, there will 
be an extra class with a purse of $20. Shooting starts on arrival of 
12.01 P. M. train from Broad street. Late comers may shoot up 
until 2 o'clock. 
The fever of match-making and match-shooting which has broken 
out recently in Chicago has occurred sporadically elsewhere. Dr. 
J. L. Williamson, of Milwaukee, Wis., has deposited a forfeit in 
the hands of Oswald von Lengerke, of Chicago, to bind a challenge 
issued in the following terms: To shoot a 100-bird match for $100 a 
side with any live-bird shot now resident in Chicago. At present 
we have not beard of any acceptance of the djcror's challenge. 
Dr. Williamson will be remembered well by those who took part 
in the Grand American Handicap of Mar<,r, 1897; he and his 
Cashmore gun were responsible for 24 out of 25 from the 30 yards 
mark, his lost bird (his tenth) falling dead out of bounds. 
The programme for the shoot at Orange Lake, near Newburgh, 
N. Y., is not ready for publication, but, judging from what we 
have heard of its contents, the Newburgh boys and Neaf Apgar's 
friends are going to make it one of the most enjoyable times pos- 
sible. The dates are Jan. 26-27, and tlie shoot itself will be held 
at Pine Point, on the lake, where Neaf holds out. Ice-boating has 
already started, so that it is about a moral certainty that all who go 
to the lake for a shoot can have some good icc-Tjoating into the 
Isargain. Live birds and targets are to be used a; tnis tournament; 
targets on the first day; live birds on the second day. 
The Oneida County Sportsmen's Association, whose home is in 
Utica, N. Y., claims the dates of March 15-18, 1S98, for "a grand 
open shoot at targets and live birds." The club will throw targets 
from a magautrap. Live birds will be trapped o-y means of the 
vmderground system. Mr. H. L. Gates, president of the associa- 
tion, wi'ites: "With our new clubhouse and grounds we will be 
able to give a splendid shoot, even if the weatner. prove unpleas- 
ant. Our new grounds are substantially completed and are the 
finest in the country. We hope to be able to add a liberal amount 
of money to the programme; and we also hope that all our friends 
will make it a point to be with us on the above dates." 
It seems a pity that the Keystone Shooting League of Philadel- 
phia should arrange a live bird shoot for New Year's Day, as the 
counter attraction of the Philadelphia Trap-Shooters' League's 
monthly meeting at Bridesburg, Pa., is bound to t>e a great factor 
in keeping away many who would otherwise like to attend the 
Keystone's shoot. The Trap-Shooters' League's tournament wih 
be held under the auspices of the Frankford Gun Club, and will 
draw in the neighborhood of sixty to seventy shooters to tliose 
groimds. Open sweeps will be kept going all day, a separate set of 
traps being reserved for the league team race, which commences at 
J p. m. 
The Sistersvill^, W. Va., Rod and Gun Club will hold a shoot on 
New. Year's Day. The programme consists of 12 events, as fol- 
lows: Three IDs, seven 15s, one 20 and one 25, or a total of 180 
targets, at an average entry fee of 10 cents per target. All purses 
divided' 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. Targets thrown from a ma- 
gautrap at 2 cents each. The Sistersville Rod and Gun Club is a 
live organization, and the secretary, Ed. O. Bower, promises that 
the club will make it pleasant for all who attend its shoot. 
Every shooter will sincerely condole with Mr. W. P. Mussey, of 
Chicago, on the great misfortune that has just overtaken him in 
the total loss of his magnificent billiard hahs and fixtures. Com- 
ing as it did a day or two before Christmas, makes it all the more 
regrettable, as Christmas under such circumstances could scarcely 
be a merry one for Mr. Mussey. Wishes for a "happy New Year" 
may be under certain conditions nothing more than a formality, 
but the wishes for a prosperous 1898 that are sent to Mr. Mussey 
from New York are something above 18-karat. 
The dates for the fifth annual tournament of the Cleveland' Tar- 
get Company are June 15-17. Blue rocks will be thrown free of 
charge all three days of the shoot. Professionals and manvifac- 
turers' agents are barred from programme events. We believe, 
however, that Paul North, on behalf of his company, the Cleve- 
land Target Company, issues a general invitation to that class of 
shooters to be present, and offers to throw them all the targets 
they want to shoot at free of all charge. 
The dates for next year's circuit in the East are growing rapidly. 
Flere's the list to date: March 15-18, Oneida County Sports- 
men's tournament, Utica, N. Y. ; March 22-24, Interstate Associa- 
tion's Grand American Handicap, at Elkwood Park; March 29- 
April 1, Pennsylvania State Shoot, at Reading, Pa.; April 4-7, 
tournament of the Baltimore Shooting Association. Four consecu- 
tive weeks and no long jumps between points either! 
We are not quite sure whether J. S. Fanning went to his home 
on the Pacific Slope for Christmas or not. If he did, however, we 
are quite sure that the warmth of the reception accorded "Gold 
Dust jack" by his many friends and admirers in San Francisco 
would make the freezing temperature, reported to have visited that; 
cny, innocuous so far as Fanning was concerned. Fanning has 
been East two seasons, 1896-97, and has more thaii held his own 
during that period. 
Charlie Zwirlein has issued the invitations for his shoot on 
Wednesday of this week, Dec. 29, on stovit cards.- On the back of 
the card is a capital half tone of the shooting house and score at 
his grounds, Yardville, N. J.; and, moreover, the photo was taken 
when Charlie himself was at the score. The black setter. Nig, is 
also in evidence, while it seems to us that we can recognize George 
One-Barrel Cubberly in one of the other figures in the photograph. 
B. A. Bartlett, of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, is 
not going to let W. H. Wolstencroft retain his title to the "expert 
rule championship of New Y^ork, New Jersey and Pennsylvania" 
without shooting for it. Bartlett has challenged Wolstencroft for 
the same, and the result should be an interesting race. Mr. Bart- 
lett's forfeit of $25 has been received by Forest and Stream, and 
Mr. Wolstencroft has been notified of our receipt of the same. 
Jno. J. Sumpter, Jr., of Hot Springs, Ark., has challenged 
George W. Cleiuents, of Pine Bluff, for the diamond charm em 
blematic of the target championship of the State of Arkansas. Mr. 
Clements has accepted the challenge, but has as yet been unable 
to fix the date, although it is believed that the match will be shot 
some time in January. The conditions are 50 targets per man, un- 
known, angles. 
The two days' shoot at Elizabeth, N, J.. Dec. 21-23, was conduct- 
td tinder the depl-es.sing cohditipns of bad weather and meager at- 
tendance. The chief feature of interest in Ihe whole shoot was the 
advent of young Mr. Coleniait froih Perihsylvailin, Who showed that 
he knew how to break blue rocks and kill live birdsi Mr. Coleman 
does not Seem to be much over 20 vears of age, and is slight of build 
and of only moderate height. He bandies his glm with great pre- 
cision, and is said to be very hard to beat in the field. It now 
looks as if he was going to be quite as bad medicine at the traps. 
The Baltimore Shooting Association conies to the front again 
with the annoiuicemcnt of its annual spring tournament, April 
4-7. Without knowing a thing about the programme, we can safely 
assert that this tournament will be just as pleasant a gathering as 
all sihiilar shoots of this association have been in the past. Jim 
M alone and the home management always have a good idea as to 
what the boys want. "Therei- are some. .tgooxL shooters, too, in Bal- 
timore! 
E. D. Fulford has been ."showing a great Improvement in his 
form recently. This improvement i.s not mcrelv on targets alone, 
but is particularly marl-ed on live birds. On Dec. 14-15, the last 
two days of the Limited Gun Club's shoot at Indianapolis, Ind., 
he scored 56 out of 57 pigeons shot at. His single lost bird, how- 
ever, came just at the wrong time, as it robbed F.. D. of a well- 
dcscrvcd straight in the Grand Central Handicap. Fulford is 
shooting a Remington gun, Schullze powder and uses U.. M* C. 
factory-loaded ammunition all the time. 
Paul R. Litzke writes us that W. W. Mollhany lias lost his only 
child, a boy of six years old, who died quite recently. In conse- 
quence of his sad loss, the match for the live bird championship 
of Kansas, in which Mr. Mcllhany was a principal, has been in- 
definitely postponed. Mr. Mcllhany is a prominent .shooter in 
the South, and has many friends, all of whom will learn of his 
bereavement with deep regret. 
A finer day for trap-shooting in midwinter than Christmas Day, 
1S97, could hardly have been provided, if made to order. In this 
section, at least, tht air was clear and crisp, while the bright sun 
anu blue slcy made it an ideal winter's d,ay. As a consequence, 
the annual gatherings in front of the traps of many of the clubs 
in New Jersej' and New York were more than usually large. 
The Endeavor Gun Club will have an interesting all-day shoot at 
its grounds, Marion, N. J., on New Y'ear's Day. It issues a gen- 
uine and hearty invitation to all its friends to be with it on that 
date. Carl von Lengerke, of 318 Broadway, can give all the in- 
formation that may be required concerning the programme for the 
-shoot, etc. 
As already announced, the Buflfalo, N. Y., Audubon Gun Club 
will hold a target shoot on New Year's Day. The club will add 
$50 to the purses, gnd will only charge 2 cents each for targets. 
The programme calls for 340 targets, with a total entrance fee 
"for all day" of $7. Four moneys in all events, except in event 
No. 8, 25 targets, when there will be five moneys. 
Mr. H. M. Ileflich, president of the North Hudson Rod and 
Gun Club, writes that his club will hold a live mrd shoot on New 
Year's Day, commencing at 1 P. M. The shoot will be held in the 
Secaucus Polo Grounds, Secaucus, N. J, Electric cars from Ruth- 
erford, N. J., pass the entrance to the grotinds. All shooters will 
be welcome. . 
Will Park in Sporting Life for Dec. 25 has published a diary of 
the chief performances in the trap-shooting world during the year 
of 1S97 so far as they have come under the notice of the sporting 
pi'css. The diary is complete and shows that Mr. Park has ex- 
pended a lot of time in its compilation. 
Rolla Heikes has accepted Charlie Grimm's challenge for the 
cast-iron badge, and has named the date on which this champion- 
ship emblem shall be shot for. The date is Jan. 1, and the place 
is Dayton, O. May the best man win, and may tliey both be in 
their "usual good form!" 
Mr. W. C. Pladley, of the Rochester. N. Y., Rod and Gun Club, 
wires us that the dates for the New York istate Shoot at Roches- 
ter will be June 20-24. The shool, of course, will be held under 
the ausi^ices of the above club. 
The HarrisDurg, Pa., Shooting Association will hold a live-bird 
and target shoot on New Year's Day. The club invites all shooters 
to attend, and promises them a good time and a plenty of shooting.

The Indianapolis Tottrnament. 
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 20.— The first live-bird tournament of 
the Limited Gun Club, held Dec. 13-15, has passed, and goes into 
the history of trap-shooting as a marked success. The result was 
largely due to the energy of Mr. John M. Lilly, who, as chairman 
of the tournament committee, and manager of the meeting, did 
about all of the work. With a little assistance Irom the secretary, 
he drew up the programme which attracted the visitors, and ar- 
ranged the handicaps. All other preliminary work was done under 
his direction. 
The quality of the birds created a mild sensation. In aU a few 
more than 1,000 pigeons were trapped, of which but two were non- 
flyers, and a scant half dozen required the use of flush ropes. As 
a lot they were pronounced by tiilbert, Marshall, Powers, Budd. 
Fanning and Fulford the best they had- ever seen in a two days' 
shoot, while among them were •many which beat the best of hold- 
ing. The weather was unfavorable to the flight of birds, as it was 
dark and witliout a breath of air on both days devoted to pigeons. 
First Day. 
The programme called for four events at sparrows, each of 29 
birds, $6 entrance; 10 per cent, of net purses to be given to five 
high guns at close of day; 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per cent, and bal- 
ance of each purse divided 35, 30, 20, 15 per cent., class shooting. 
The scores follow in tabulated form. A cold wind from the north- 
east made many incomers:

Heikes won first average, .$10.20, with 76 out of 80; Gilbert, Mc- 
Murchy and Bartlett, each with 75, divided second, third and fourth 
moneys, which paid them $6.80 each; liike with 74 won fifth, $3.40. 
The first 800 sparrows were trapped in one hour and three-quar- 
ters, and the average, without any rushing, was 400 per hour. 
This rapid work is possible only with Hill's self-closing "traps, 
five sets of three each being placed in line and the walk-around

Second Day. 
The programme called for two events, both at pigeons; 7 birds 
'entrance $7, five high guns, and 10 birds, entrance $10, five high 
guns; price of birds included in entry fee, In the first there were 
twenty-three entries, of which eight killed straight, and drew $16.05 
each. In the second there were twenty-two entries, and five 
straight scores which paid $35.20 each.

Third Day. 
Grand Central Handicap, 25 pigeons, entrance 525, birds extra, 
eight high guns, 2C, 20, 15, 10, 9, S, 7, 6 per cent. Nominations 
closed Dec. 9, with a list of eighteen who had paid the forfeit of 
$10. AH of them made their ante good — I beg pardon, I seem to 
be mixing Ihe terms used in the hotel game with those of the shoot. 
A larger entry had been expected, and the club is still wonder- 
ing what was the matter with the good pigeon shots of Kentucky, 
Oliio and the Smoky City. The programme was just to their lik- 
ing, and we regret they did not give us a chance to entertain them. 
The race began at 9:20 A. M., and was finished in four hours. 
The birds were so good that everyone stayed out of doors to sec 
what tlie next one would be like. As will happen in a 25-bird race, 
some got the best of the drawing, and in this case Mr. Fanning, the 
winner, wrs a lucky rnan. It is but fair to say that he killed in 
good style the few hard ones, and it is quite likely that on this day 
he could have gone straight had the luck of the draw been against 
him. 
Capt. Bartlett was the first to drop out on 3 losses, and it was on, 
his 4th bird. All three of them were hit, and two of them dead 
out. It became known later in the day that he had got his shells 
mixed, and was using sparrow loads with No. 10 shot. 
Under the 3-bird rule all dropped out hut Fanning 25, Fulford 
24, Budd 24, Norris 23, Powers 23, and came in again to fight for 
the three places not filled. Gilbert, who was out on the 12th round, 
Garland on the 19th, and McMurchy on the 23d, were the only ones 
to kill out straight, and they quit with 22. 
Under the division as advertised the winners were paid as fel- 
lows: Fanning ,$112.50. Fulford, Budd $78.75 each, Powers, Norris 
$42,75 each, Gariand, McMurchy and Gilbert $31.50 each. 
On the Uth round only the first four named were straight, and 
they then agreed to pool, so they each got $78.20, instead of as 
shown above. The scores follow:

powders, came a little late, but stayed to the end. 
Mr. Plallowell, while shooting sparrows, had his gun dented by 
a hlow from another gun m the hands of one ol the shooters and 
was thereby prevented from finishing the programme. 
Upon the finish of the Grand Central Handicap, and while all 
vvere at dinner, Mr. Marshall, speaking for the visitors, thanked the 
club and the managers for courtesies extended, and complimented 
them upon the handling of the tournament, and the possession of 
such beautiful and well ap])ointed grounds. 
It was urged that there could be no doubt of the success of an- 
other like tom-nament next winter, and support was promised if the 
meeting was made to extend over a full week. C. G. L. 
Interesting Match at Orange Lake. 
Newburgh, N. Y., Dec. 23.— The weather to-day was nasty and 
raw, a strong nor'wester driving snow squalls before it that looked 
prettier than they felt. Such conditions were not favorable for the 
pigeon match between E. C. Likely, of Higliland Falls and A K 
Dickson, of this city, both members of the West Newburgh Gun 
and Rifle Association, which was set for to-day. The match which 
came off at Pine Point, Orange Lake, has been talked of for a 
long time, with the result that there was more than a fair attend- 
of spectators, despite the bad weather. The conditions were 
100 ive birds per man, $50 a side, loser to pay for the birds. Capt. 
C- Iligginson looked after Likely; our former secretary. W C 
Gibb, taking care of Dickson. 
Among those present were J. B. Halsted and Billy Pierce, from 
1-eekskill; also a party from Highland Falls, among the number 
being Mr. Stevens. The birds were good strong ones, but nearly ' 
all loitered at the trap at first, the snow squalls bothering them 
Jas, S. Taylor acted as referee; David Brown as scorer Dickson, 
sliot strongly after the 50th round, running 43 without a miss. 
Double-figure runs were: Likely, 13, 11 and 16; Dickson, 16 and 43. 
Likely shot well m his first and third 25s, but fell down in his sec- 
ond and fourth series. Scores were:
