made her put it down, and was explaining to her how injudicious 
it was to point a revolver at any one, how it might have been 
loaded, etc.. when in came a parson. He sat down and began 
talking pleasantly. Presently his eye caught sight of the revolver. 
Grabbing it, he shouted, 'Now, I'll shoot you,' and pointed it at 
me, roaring with laughter. I locked up that revolver." Were his 
advice followed, there would be none of the "didn*t-know-it-was- 
loaded" accidents possible. He says, "Never leave a revolver, 
loaded or unloaded, where any one can touch it. Keep it locked 
up, unless, actually in your possession." There is no circumstance 
directly or indirectly related to revolver shooting which is left 
untouched. The appendix gives a valuable dissertation on the 
law as it views the carrying and using of revolvers in Great 
Britain and the United States. The work contains 251 pages. It 
is printed on heavy fine paper, and well bound in cloth. \Ve can

Columbia Pistol and Rifle Clob. 
San Frakcisco, May 19. — The scores to-day were made in a 
very heavy cross wind. Mannel, Allen and Hoffman were on the 
sick list, and Barley and Brannagan on a vacation at Brannagan's 
ranch hunting coyotes and small game. Col. S. E. Beaver, one of 
our old-time revolver shots, brought out a new pi.stol, made from 
the Winchester .22 rifle action. He shot it at rest, and placed 
18 out of 20 in the Sin. ring at 50yds. It is similar to the one 
with which Young shot himself. Young placed 9 out of 10 in a 
Sin. group with it off-hand at 50yds., using Peters short cartridges. 
It ^langs much like the old dueling pistols. Becker had a Colt's 
automatic pistol, and made 49 out of 50 on a Blount bullseye. Henry 
Kenitzer presented Capt. Kuhnle with his Pope Winchester, and 
the Captain showed some of his old-time form, making a 6 
average in his first 26 shots. A. H. Pape has taken unto himself 
a wife, and will be heard from later. A. H. Cady has just re- 
turned from the East, and has also joined the matrimonial ranks. 
If this mix-up continues.it will disrupt our club. Washburn re- 
turned from Honolulu, where he has been for two and a half 
months. He couldn't hit a barn to-day, as the natives there gave 
him no chance to practice and keep in trim. Dorrell led with 
rifle to-day, and Young with pistol and revolver. Young also 
tried his light .22-74-45 Winchester rifle, using Peters cartridges, 
resting the weapon over his right arm near the shoulder, with 
good results, his 17 being one point away from club record. His 
39 with revolver was made with Peters .44 Russian model car- 
tridges, and is the best score ever made with factory ammuni- 
tion in the club, but his best pistol scores were made with Peters 
.22 long rifle and .22 short cartridges, fresh from factory. .Scores, 
oflf-hand on Columbia target; 10-shot scores:

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores /or publication in 
these columns^ also any news notes they may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless otherwise rejiorted. Mail 
all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing^ Company, 346 Broad- 
way, New York. 
In Forest and Stream of May 25 there was published an edi- 
torial on "Sweepstake Shooting." Air. Will K. Park, a thorough 
expert in trapshooting matters, was kind enough to compliment 
it, and as further showing the benefits to be derived from shooting 
for sport instead of money, lie cites the trapshooting conditions 
about Philadeiphia, which explains as follows: "Our esteemed 
contemporary, Forest and Streajc, prints a very excellent edi- 
(tonal in a recent issue on 'Sweepstake Shooting.' They advocate 
the abolishment of all sweepstakes in club affairs, and cite the 
success of the New Utrecht Gun Club, in which trophies alone 
form the incentive for the display of skill. The Florists' Gun 
Club, of this city, might also be taken as an example of a suc- 
cessful club, although using flying targets exclusively, where 
sweepstakes in club shoots are never sanctioned, arid where 
prizes alone reward skill, a handicap plan equalizing contestants. 
This excellent rule has brought many new shooters rato the club, 
and, what is more to the point, it has kept them there as regular 
attendants, although they never advanced beyond a 60 or 70 per 
cent, marksman. Sweepstakes would drive this class away in a 
short time. In big open tournaments the sweepstakes are de- 
pended upon to draw the crowd. In a large number of pro- 
grammes received at this office within the past few weeks we 
have noticed particularly one condition, which reads: 'All sweep- 
stakes optional.'" 
The programm.e of the Innterstate Association's trapshooting 
tournament, given for the Sherbrooke Gun ■ Club, Sherbrooke, 
Quebec, Canada, July 1 and 2, is now ready for distribution. It 
provides ten events each day, seven at 15 and' three at 20 hluerocks, 
entrance .$1.50 and $2. Headquarters will be at the Grand Central 
Hotel. The programme may be obtained of Mr. Charles H. Voss, 
secretary of the Sherbrooke Gun Club, or of Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 
manager of the Interstate Association, 111 Fourth avenue, Pitts- 
burg, Pa. Further information is presented in the programme as 
follows: "This tournament will be held on the grounds of the 
Sherbrooke Gun Club. Shooting will commence at 9:30 A. M. 
sharp each day. The grounds are situated on the banks of the 
St. Francis River, Xtn minutes' ride from the center of the city 
by electric cars. They are located in a beautiful meadow, with 
all the surroundings and arrangements that go to make trapshooting 
enjoyable. All purses will be divided according to the Rose 
system, into four moneys, at the ratio of 5, 3, 3 and 1. Guns and 
ammunition forwarded to Chas. H, Foss, Sherbrooke, Quebec, 
Canada, will be delivered to the shooting grounds free of charge. 
First-class loaded shells will be for sale on the grounds. Price of 
targets, 2 cents each, deducted from purses before dividing. Black 
powder barred. Lunch will be served on the grounds. The Inter- 
state Association's rules will govern all events." 
The Waterville (Me.) Gun Club has issued the programme 
of its tournament, which is scheduled for June 20. It presents 
eleven events, 10, 15, 20 and 25 targets, entrance basecf on 10 
cents per target; 200 targets in all, with a total entrance of $20. 
Shooting' commences at 10 o'clock. To first high gun, $5; to 
second and third, $3 each; to fourth and fifth, $2 each. The 
competition is open to the world. A silver cup will be given 
to the amateur who makes the highest average for the whole 
programme. Lunch served on the cKib groimds. Guns, etc., 
sent in care of the club will be delivered on the grounds free. 
Arrangements have been made with the Maine Central Railroad 
whereiiy excursion tickets can be purchased for Waterville and 
return at the rate of 2 cents per mile from Bangor, Pittsfield, 
Gardiner, Brunswick, Bath, Lewiston and Portland, good June 
19, 20 and 21. Mr. J. A. Davidson is secretary. With the pro- 
gramme came the following, which is as gratifying as it is novel: 
"Forest and Stream, New York City, June 1. — Gentlemen.— 
Recognizing the fact that those papers devoted to the sports- 
man's world give the trapshooters and the clubs much free 
advertising, we decided to devote one page in our programme 
to such papers without any charge to them. W'e only ask that 
you continue to use us as you have in the past. Very truly yours, 
Waterville Gim Club " 
The report of the Missouri State shoot, published in our trap
