review at Southampton, in 1896, At the outbreak of the 
Spanish-American war his yacht was near Lisbon, Por- 
tugal, and was chased by a Spanish gunboat, but got 
away. A year ago Mn Day built the schooner Endymion, 
which was handsomely fitted out. In his first trip across 
the ocean in her the boat made a record for her class. 
He returned to this country on the yacht in October. 
Mr. Day was a member of the Union, University, Rac- 
quet, Manhattan. Meadowbrook, New York Yacht Club 
and New York Athletic Club. 
The steam yacht Enterprise, N. Y. Y. C, Messrs. 
F. L. and Nelson Perrin, of Baltimore, is being fitted 
out at Curtis Bay, the anchorage and station of the Balti- 
more Y. C., for a cruise to South America^ and -is ex- 
pected to sail the first of the year.

The steam yacht Sagamore, recently purchased by Mr, 
E. Clinton Lee, of Philadelphia, and before reported_ as 
being at Poillon's, South Brooklyn, for repairs, is being 
entirely replanked among other renewals. Capt. White 
is in charge.

S. M. Jarvis' steam yacht Priscilla, which with her 
owner and a party abroad left New York Nov. 18 on a 
West Indian cruise, was reported at Havana on Dec. 10.

Capt. William A. Andrews is to make another trip 
across the ocean in a small boat. This time he will 
attempt the passage in an iift. folding canoe. He will 
start the first of next June. Charles A. Bigney, a Boston 
boy, who is well known for his high diving feats, will 
accompany Andrews, himself having a canoe of the same 
length and canvas covered. The trip, therefore, will be 
in the nature of a race.— Boston Globe.. 
NoGALES, Ariz., Nov. 22.— Arizona is to furnish a 
novel feature for the inaugural parade in Washington 
next March. About a year ago two half-grown black 
bears were captured in the Santa Rita Mountains, by 
Mark Lully, a locally noted hunter. He offered them to 
the Washington Zoological Gardens, and the gift was 
accepted conditional upon the delivery of the bears in 
Washington. The question of the delivery was soon 
solved by a iinique bet made between W. M. Hoey, an 
enthusiastic Indiana Republican, now Collector of the 
Port of Nogales, and a Democratic friend, William Tag- 
gart, of Indianapolis. Hoey agreed to take the bears 
East and to march with them in the inaugural parade if 
his candidate was elected. Taggart promised to do the 
same if Bryan was successful. — New York Times..

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Clui secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. Mail 
all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Companv, 346 Broad- 
way, New York. 
Leading dealers in sportsmen's supplies have advertised in our 
columns continuously for a quarter-century. 
The daily press recounts that some of the shooters of Flatlands 
and Carnarsie, L. I., have been arranging to hold some live-bird 
shoots on Christmas Day, and that they have been notified by 
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that, as they 
do not belong to regularly incorporated clubs, the live^bird shoot- 
ing will not be permitted. It further recounts that "There is 
much indignation among the interested marksmen. They say 
such shooting is done monthly at Dexter Park and other places, 
and declare that the discrimination against them is unjust." There 
is no discrimination whatever. Any sportsmen who wish can 
organize and comply with the law governing live-bird shooting. 
Good sportsmen should be good citizens, and good citizens should 
obey the laws. 
Among the notable visitors in New York recently were Mr. 
Paul North, of the Chamberlin Cartridge Co.; Mr. W. M. (U. 
M. C.) Thom.as, who visited New York for the first time since 
becoming a Shriner; Mr. B. Leroy Woodard, of Remington and 
Dupont fame; Mr. Jack Fanning, who ends the year with an 
enviable list of record-breaking runs and high averages; Mr. 
Elmer E. Shaner, the distinguished authority on tournaments; 
Mr. Howard Marhn, of the Marlin Fire Arms Co.; Mr. Irby Ben- 
nett, of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., and Mr. J. Hildreth, 
also of the latter company, who arrived in town without a new 
joke this time, the first occurrence of the kind in many years; 
and the genial and well met Ben Norton, of the Hazard Powder 
Co. 
Under date of Dec. 15 Mr. John Watson, Burnside Crossing, 
111., writes us as follows: "A series of 15-bird shoots will be 
given -at this park as follows: Saturday, Dec. 22, and Christmas Day; 
Saturday, Des. 29, and New Years' Day, 1901. Entrance to each 
event, cost of birds, $2.50, with an optional sweep, $2. The bird 
money, $2.50, will be returned to all the shooters making straight 
scores. Class shooting and sweep money divided according to 
number of entries. Five entries, 55 and 45 per cent.: six to ten 
entries, 40, 35 and 25 per cent; over ten entries, 35, 30, 20 and 15 
per cent. Shooting to commence at 1 P. M. each day." 
Dr. C. W. Carson, secretary of the Chicago Gun Club, writes 
us that "The annual meeting of the Chicago Gun Club was held 
last evening, at the Sherman House, the following directors being 
elected: Dr. E. C. Morton, J. L, Jones, Dr. C. W. Carson, Chas. 
Antoine, W. H. Cornwell. The new constitution and by-laws 
were adopted. After the general meeting the directors elected 
the officers for 1901: Dr. E, C. Morton, President; J. L. Jones, 
Vice-President; Dr. C. W. Carson, Secretary-Treasurer; Chas. 
Antoine and W. H. Cornwell, Directors. The treasurer's report 
was very satisfactory," 
The accession to the membership of the Interstate Association 
at its last annual meeting, a report of which is published in these 
columns, is exceedingly _ gratifying. It indicates a wholesome 
growth in the organization itself, and is pleasingly auspicious 
as an index of the permanency' and cleanness of the sport gener- 
ally. The increase in the membership adds to the Association's 
power and prestige, already great, besides materially broadening 
the scope of its usefulness. 
The tribe of Indians is growing. Several noted braves— not the 
last of their race— were adopted into the tribe at a council held 
at John Watson's shooting conference last week. The member- 
ship of fliia young and fising tribe of In<^iaiifl3_ is a continuous 
refutation of thn old chattej that a good Indian is a dead Indian. 
Probably the idea originated in the fact that the bowand-arrow 
aborigine was but little better than 40 per cent, in skill, and was 
therefoi-e unavailable foir tournament purposes. 
In the big 25-live-tird handicap at John Watson's congress of 
famous shooters, held in Chicago last week, Dr.. J. L. Williamson, 
of Milwaukee, and Mr. J. R. Graham,, of Long Lake, 111., were the 
only ones to kill straight. There were, fifty-seven competitors, and 
the forfnidable aspect of the competition may. be inferred when 
it is mentioned that seven of them stood at 31yds., seven at 30yds, 
.'ind twenty-seven, at 29yds., so that of the fifty-seven, forty-one 
were at or back of the 29yd. mark. 
Mr. John S. Wright, the eminent manager of the Brooklyn Curt 
Club, has accepted a challenge from "Bill Smith" to shoot a live- 
bird match under somewhat novel conditions^ namely: He stands 
at 25 birds, while "Bill Smith" stands at 
at 30yds. and shoots at ^..u:,, wunc .^uutn stanas at 
^yds. and shoots at 21 birds. As Mr. Wright can shoot equally 
well at 30 or 25yds., the match should be interesting. It is fixeS 
to take place on Thursday of next week at Interstate Park 
Messrs. Harvey McMurchy and P; Bekeart recently went otlt 
on a coyote hunt m California, and succeeded in flushing four 
but neither men nor horses could catch them, as they got out o^ 
bounds, and therefore should be marked with a 0. They however 
captured two coons, and were not empty-handed on their return! 
the duck season being on, they afterward arranged to have a 
duck shoot on Mr. Bekeart's marshes. 
Keep in mmd that the twentieth annual all-day target shoot of 
the bouth Side Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., begins at 10 o'clock 
on New Year's Day. The grounds are situated on New Jersey 
Railroad avenue, opposite Lehigh coal pockets. There will be 
several turkey and merchandise events. Lunch served at 12 M. 
Wm. M. Smith is president; Isaac H. Terrill manager 
The contest for the E C cup and the championship of New 
Jersey, between Mr. G. H. Piercv, holder, and Mr. C. W. Feigen- 
span challenger took place on Smith Brothers' grounds Newark^ 
on Thursday of last week. Mr. Feigenspan, who had held it a long

..Tf'e popular and talented newsgatherer of Sporting Life, Mr- 
Will K. Park, was married to Miss Margaret Kirkwood, of Boston, 
on uec. 11. this charmmgjady is better known in the tran- 
shootmg world under the nom de fusil of "Miskay." We extend 
our hearty congratulations and good wishes to them. 
On Thursday afternoon of this week, on the Carteret Gun 
Club s grounds, at Garden City, L. I., Messrs. R. A. Welch and 
Harold Money will shoot a match at 100 live birds, 30yds. rise, 
30yds. boundary, for $500 a side. Both gentlemen, as is well 
known, are first-class experts with the scatter gun 
The tvventy-seventh annual tournament and convention of the 
1 inois State Sportsmen's Association will be held in Springfield, 
111., the entire third week in May, 1901, is the information con- 
cerning that subject sent us by the Association's secretary, Mr. 
Chas. T, Stickle, of Springfield, 111. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner's report as manager of the Interstate 
Association contains matter of much solid worth, and therefore 
:s deserving of special consideration. It will be found in another 
column, in the report of the Interstate annual meeting.

In the report . of VVatson's shoot, published in our trap columns 
this week, Mr. Hough mentions that Dr. J. L. Williamson, of 
lan r!5^-'^''u'* George Roll, of Blue island, 111., will shoot a 
100-bird match at Watson's Park in the near future. 
Mr. Fred Gilbert,, of . Spirit Lake, la., was high average in the

grounds to-day on the occasion of the sixth trophy shoot of the

Honors were divided between T. W. Eaton and F.. G. Barnard,
