DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Clu6 secretaries are invited td send their scores for publicatioh in 
these columns, also any news notes thsy may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless oiherioise reported. Mail 
all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 346 Broad- 
way, New York. 
The waves of fame of the great shooter, Hon. Thos. A. Marshall, 
in its spread East and West, have met in the antipodes. The 
Referee, of Sydney, Australia, publishes a portrait, which for fidelty 
to truthfulness far excels many similar attempts of the American 
dailies. C)f him it says: "Tom Marshall, whose picture appears in 
this day's [Tune 7] issue, is one of the best shots America has 
produced. He won the American championship in 1S97, and was 
fop score again this year — a truly marvelous performance, con- 
sidering the field of competitors numbered over 260, among whom 
were the picked men of the land of the Star-Spangled Banner. 
He shot 58 birds straight, and every one fell to the first barrel." 
It would seem that in shooting matters there is a close similarity 
between those of America and the antipodes. In the Referee, of 
Sydney, is the following, which, though a little out of date for our 
home shooters to attend, may not be too late for some of our 
contemporaries to copy. It is as follows: "The New Zealand 
Gun Club Association has announced a pigeon match for the 
championship of New Zealand at Petone (Wellington) on Tues- 
day, July 11. The conditions are 21 birds, 28yds. rise. Com- 
petitors must be resident in N. Z. for two years. The prizes 
are: First, championship medal and 60 per cent, of the sweep- 
stake; second, 25 per cent, of sweepstake; third, 15 per cent, of 
sweepstake. Entrance fee, £3. Mr. C. H. Gorrick is referee." 
On Friday afternoon of last week Admiral Courtney's wife and 
daughter were taking the air on the front porch of their house in 
.Syracuse, N. Y. The sky was clear and the sun was shining 
brightly; likewise was the Admiral, though away from home. No 
one expected anything to happen just then, but the unexpected 
happened, as it always does; a sneak thief entered the house by 
the back window and annexed all the silverware he could find, 
likewise Mrs. Courtney's jewelry, as _well as cups and trophies 
won by the Admiral, too many to mention. The Admiral expressed 
no regret for the' loss of his trophies. "I can win lots more," 
said he, "but Mrs. Courtney's jewelry, and the silverware are the 
source of much regret." He left New York for Syracuse on Mon- 
day of this week, and is now still-hunting that sneak thief, whom 
we pray he will capture. 
Jim Elliott has buckled his shawl-strap around all the trophies 
in sight. First he won the Du Pont trophj' from Mr. Daniels by 
, tjie iscore of 98 to 97. Next he captured the Republic cup from 
(iharlie Young by the score of 93 to 92. Thirdly, he won the 
- cast-iron medal from Rolla Heikes last Friday, defeating him by 
tbe score ef 95 to 94. La.^tly. he takes the E. C. cup and the 
world's championship at targets from Billy Crosby by defeating 
him on Monday of this week by the .score of 136 to 1.32. Both 
great scores, but Elliott's was the ..best by 4 targets. 
From a member of the Haverhill Gun Club we have the follow- 
ing communication: "The Haverhill, Mass., Gun Club's tourna- 
ment, which is to occur Aug. 8, promises to be a good thing. The 
programmes are out, and will be ready for distribution this week, 
same calling for 200 targets. One of the events calls for 100 targets, 
and to this the club adds $25. Shooters from southern New 
England, New York and other points south of Boston who propose 
attending the Portland Interstate can make this shoot very handily 
by starting one day sooner. Those' wishing to stop in Boston over 
night can leave there at 8 A. M., arriving in Haverhill 45 minutes 
later, and after the shoot can leave for Portland at 6:55, arriving 
at the latter place at 9:30 P. M." 
The Pawling Rod and Gun Club, Pawling, N. Y., has arranged 
a most attractive programme for Saturday of this week. There 
are fifteen events, with a total of 220 targets. Shooting commences 
at 9 o'clock sharp. Lunch will be served free to guests. Special 
rates at the Dutcher House to visiting sportsmen. Experts will be 
handicapped. The proceeds go toward propagating the game birds 
and fish, so that the public is a beneficiary and each shooter is 
benefiting the public. There will be a delegation from New York 
city. Pawling has no superior as a place wherein there is pleasant 
competition at the traps and good, sportsmanlike companionship. 
The programme of the midsummer tournament of the Catchpole 
Gun Club, Wolcott, N. "if., can be obtained of the secretary, 
Mr. E. A. Wadsworth. Aug. 3 and 4 are the dates fixed upon. 
Professionals can shoot for targets only. Targets 1% cents each. 
There are eight events on the first day, alternately 10 and 15 
targets, 75 cents and .$1 entrance. Twelve events are on the pro- 
gramme of the second day, of which No. 6, at 20 targets, is the 
Gold Dust powder event. All moneys divided 40, ,30, 20 and 10 
per cent. Shooting on the first day commence.s at 1 o'clock; on 
the second day at 9:30. 
' Mr. Ralph W. Gorham, secretary of the Mount Kisco Gun Club, 
Mount Kisco, N. Y., under date of July 24 writes as follows: 
"The Mount Kisco Rod and Gun Club has reorganized and laid 
out new grounds — both live and clay-bird grounds; also built a 
nice new club house. Our electric wires are all under ground; 
also the traps. We use the Sergeant system. We expect to shoot 
every Saturday. We will hold an all-day tournament on Aug. 5." 
Mr. John F. Schmelzer, Omaha, Neb., under date of July 21 
writes us as follows: "The Winchester (iun Club was organized 
in this city on July 20, and the following officers were elected: 
President, Olof Johnson; Vice-President, John F. Schmelzer; Sec- 
retary, Ed Doll; Treasurer, Dan Gerlus; Field Captain, J. C. 
Johnson; Lieutenant, John Bowman. The object of the club is 
to promote the sport of target and live-bird shooting." 
On -Saturday of this week the Pawling Rod and Gun Club will 
hold 'AW all-day tournament. There will be fifteen events, at 10, 
15, 20 and 25 targets, entry fee based on 10 cents per target. The 
club will deduct 2 cents for targets. There will be three handi- 
caps, at 20 targets, for gun case, silver cup and cash prizes, and 
in these events the club deducts 50 per cent, of entrance; the 
remainder is divided. Mr. Horatio Nelson is captain. 
The Boston Gun Club's shooting season ended with that of 
July 20. The true principle of competition in which shooters of 
varying degrees of skill engage was observed in the Boston Gun 
Club series; that is to say, the principle of the handicap. The 
reports of these shoots are models in their way, pleasing and in- 
structive. 
There was a strong team competition on the grounds of the 
Keystone Shooting League last Saturday. Fifteen teams partici- 
pated. Pres.sure on our space prevents us from giving the scores 
this week. The team of the Keystone Shooting League, Messrs. 
Wolstencroft, Landis, Ridge, Stevenson and Longnecker, WotI with 
a score of 125 out of a possible 150. 
Under date of July 18 Mr. H. H. McCumber writes us as fol- 
lows: "At a meeting of the Lewistown Gun Club, Lewistown, 111., 
July 17, the following officers were elected; President, J. R. 
Maguire; Secretary-Treasurer, F, M. Love; Captains, L. Gray 
and C. V. Groat." 
The next contest of the Central New Jersey Trap-Shooters' 
League will take place on the grounds of the Dunellen Gun Club, 
Aug. 5. In the contest of five teams Saturday last on the grounds 
of the Reservoir Gtm Club, New Brunswick, the Dunellen Gun 
Club was victor. 
The Hunter Arms Co., of Fulton, N. Y., have issued a new and 
improved edition of their catalogue, containing artistic illustra- 
tions of their different grades of guns and much useful descrip- 
tive matter concerning them. It will be sent to those who apply 
for it. 
Mr. W. R. Crosby has challenged Mr. J. A. R. Elliott to contest 
for the E. C. cup, emblematic of the target championship, which 
they officially passed upon in respect to who could make the best 
score on Monday of this week. ■ 
In the contest for the cast-iron medal at Kent, O., July 21, 
Elliott defeated Heikes by the score of 95 to 94. While these 
scores are very good, the birds are reported as being an inferior 
lot. 
In the match bet-ween J. A. R. Elliott and Chas. A. Young, at 
Springfield, O., July 18, 100 live birds each for the Republic cup, 
the former won by the score of 93 to 92. A Winchester gun and 
Hazard powder and Leader shells were what Elliott used. 
The Central Gun Club, of Duluth, Minn., will hold its seventh 
annxial tournament on Aug. 10 and 11; $250 in cash added. For
