DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Forest and Stream is put to press each week on Tuesday. 
Correspondence intended for publication should reach us at the 
latest by Monday and as much earlier as practicable. 
In the Carteret championship contest, a rather novel point came 
up for adjudication. In the seventy-second round, Mr. Harold 
Money at the score, the trap did not open in response to the 
command "Pull." After an appreciable interval, Mr. Money 
turned to the referee, at the same time breaking his gun, and in- 
quired as to the cause of the delay. At that juncture the trap 
was pulled and the bird escaped without being shot at. The 
referee declared the bird lost. It was rather an exceptional^ hard- 
ship to the plucky young shooter, since there was much to justify 
a '"no bird,'' a little to justify a "lost bird." First of all the bird 
had not been offered at the call of pull; second, an extreme delay 
might easily be interpreted that the bird was not to be released 
at call; third, the rule of the Carteret Gun Club on this point 
reads as follows: "If in the opinion of the releree, the shooter is 
balked by any antagonist or looker on, or by the trapper, whether 
by design or otherwise, he may be allowed another bird." Let us 
suppose that the shooter calls "Pull," and that the trap is not 
opened there after for half a day, what is the shooter to do? 
That reduces the matter to an absurdity, and shows that after a 
reasonable time he may assume that the trap is not to be opened 
and act accordingly.

Admiral Courtney, imperturbable and dignified, as is his wont, 
was a visitor in the gun colony of New York in the early part of 
this week. While leaving the zephyr and sylphlike to the four- 
hundred as a specialty, the Admiral is most successful as a man 
of deeds. Witness his performance at the last G. A. H. ! Had the 
shoot-oif been on the high seas, that brute of a bird, shot flatly 
to the ground, would not have escaped beyond the boundless 
ocean. A bird falling into the salt watei- -ivould have a more 
serious problem than if falling on dry land. The Admiral killed 
25 and some more straight any way in the last G. A. H. 
In the high averages of the Hot Springs tournament, Mr. W. 
R. Crosby led all the competitors with an average of .955. Gilbert 
was second with .943. Heikes was third with .933. Fanning was 
fourth with .925. On Thursday afternoon, in the ninth event, the 
squad whose members were Messrs. Heikes, Gilbert, Fanning, 
Burnside and Crosby broke 99 out of 100 targets. An account of 
the shoot, interestingly reported by Mr. F. C. Riehl, will be 
found elsewhere in our trap columns this week. 
The victory of Mr. Harold Money in the contest for the cham- 
pionship of the Carteret Gun Club, on Thursday and Friday of last 
week, ranks in the first class. The conditions were 100 live birds, 
$100 entrance, 30 yards boundary. The birds were extra good, the 
weather conditions were favorable to the birds, and the competitors 
were performers of known skill and ability. Mr. Money killed 
88, and won the trophy and the honors. 
K 
Mr. John Popp. the President, writes us as follows: "The Michi- 
gan ^tate Trap Shooters' League will hold its first annual tourna- 
ment at Saginaw, Mich., on May 28, 29, 30, under the auspices 
of the East Side Gun Club, of Saginaw. The tournament will be 
under the management of Mr. John Parker, of Detroit, Mich., and 
will be at both live birds and targets. It will be open to all, and 
$300 in cash will be added to the purses. 
The preparations for the Roof Garden Tournament are in an 
advanced stage. Mr. Elmer E. Shaner arrived in town during 
the latter part of last week, and found the preliminary work well 
begui>. The installation of the magautrap, the completion of the 
platform and back stop, etc., will be all done by Thursday of this 
week, or Friday at the latest, so that the shooting may commence 
at the appointed hour without any delay. 
After winning the Carteret championship, Mr. Harold Money 
engaged in a miss and out, and stood at the 33 yard mark, the 
extreme back mark of the club. He killed 17 straight and won. 
He shot in finished form. While all this proves that Mr. Money 
is a great shot indeed, it also proves that the modern gun and 
ammunition is not handicapped at 33 yards. 
In a team shoot at Washington Park, Gloucester City, Pa., 
Feb. 22, S25 a side, 3 birds per man, • Huriingham rules, 
the scores were as follows: Alexander Pierce killed 3; John 
Pew. 2; J. Brown, 2; W. J. Thompson, Jr., 2; S. F. Fluegelman, 
2. Total, 11. E. Butler, 3; J. Redfield, 2; James Smith, 2; Charles 
Burdsall, 1; William Spencer, 1. Total, 9. 
^Mr. Harry Kirkover, the skilful and poular shooter, of Batavia, 
N. Y., made a visit to the gun colony section of New York, which 
in the shooting world is the shooting axis of the effete East. 
He was enthusiastic in his plans for the tournament to be held in 
conjunction with the forthcoming Pan-American Exposition, at 
Buffalo. 
Mr. Gus Grieff, of Von Lengerke & Detmold, 318 Broadway, 
informs us that an Eastern championship at live birds will be 
inaugurated in the near future, at 25 or 50 bircjs, for a trophy, 
entrance nominal. This should fill a field wnich at present is un- 
occupied.

Mr. C. M. Grimm, of Clear Lake, Iowa, suftered the misfortune 
of a broken ankle recently, while engaged in his vocation. The 
many friends of this eminent shooter will deeply Jeplore the 
grievous occurrence, as we do. We wish him a speed) recovery.

The match between Dr. A. A. Webber and Mr. S. M. Van 
Allen, at one-hundred live birds each, at Interstate Park, on Feb. 
19, was won by Mr. Van Allen, by a score of 94 to 88. He took 
the lead in the fourth round and never was caught. 
On Feb. 22, at Riverton, N. J., in a 10-bird race, with a large 
number of contestants, Mr. J. G. N. Whittaker won in the shoot 
off. On Feb. 19 Mr. Thomas Jenkins won a silver cup donated 
by Mr. Alburger, at Riverton. He killed 30 straight. 
In a learn contest, ten men on a side, between the AUentowu 
Rod and Gun Club and the Keystone Gun Club, of Lebanon, at

The Peters Cartridge Company announces an amateur tourna- 
ment at Binghamton, N. Y., April 24 and 25, to which will be 
offered $150 added money. Mr. John Parker will manage it. Mr. 
H. W. Brown is the secretary. 
At the Peters Cartridge Company's Mardi Gras tournament, at 
New Orleans, Feb. 15 and 16, Mr. Blunt, of Greensboro, Ala., 
won the trophy for the highest average, scoring 323 out of a 
possible 350 targets shot at. 
On the grounds of the Ambler Gun Club, Ambler, Pa., Feb. 22,
