DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The following is taken from Pastime, of Dec. 7: "John W. 
Gates, the steel trust magnate, and some of the gentlemen sports 
in his party enjoyed a day's trapshooting on Tuesday at Ingle- 
side, Cal. The weather was unpropitious, but this did not dampen 
the ardor of the gunmen. Otto Feudner and C. A. Haight, two 
of the best local trap shots, measured skill with the Easterners. 
Among the latter were D. T. Bradley, amateur champion of 
America, and R. A. Welch, member of the Carteret Gun Club. 
In a team race, .%50 a side, 25 birds. 30yds. rise, between R. A. 
Welch and D. T. Bradley and Feudner and Haight, the former 
won. Welch killed 23, Bradley 24, Feudner 24 and Haight 21. 
Several impromptu events followed the match race, and were 
taken part in by Gates, Welch, Hopkins, Roach. Bradley, Page, 
Feudner, ITaight and Donohoe. The events were for JIO per man 
at 10 birds, also freeze-out, Bradley, Haight, Welch and Feudner 
carrying off the prizes. The Eastern gentlemen left for the Suisun 
marsh after the shooting to try their hands at ducks, as guests of 
Alex. Hamilton." Messrs. R. A. Welch and D. I. Bradley on this ' 
trip were guests of Mr. John W. Gates, as were also Messrs. 
J. Seaver Page, J. Roache and J. Hopkins. Mr. Gates en- 
tertained the party on his private car, which was of the highest 
Pullman elegance. They had some pleasant shooting both at the 
traps and on the marsh, the former at Ingleside, the latter on the 
marshes, where they bagged many fine canvasbacks. On Dec, 4 
they shot at Ingleside. 
Messrs. C. A. Lockwood and T. R. Chapman, of Jamaica, and Mr 
VV. L. Wood, of Brooklyn, L. I., returned last week after several 
weeks' duck shooting outmg on the North Carolina coast, most 
of which was spent at Ocracoke. The trip was a most successful 
one m every particular. Enough ducks were bagged to establish 
the hunters' diligence and prowess with the scatter gun, besides 
being a material gratification in the way of results. The healthy 
color and robust physiques of the party were not the least of the 
Jienefits which accrued from the outing. AH three are members 
of the New LUrecht Gun Club, and it is not necessary to add that 
therefore all three are skillful shooters. Mr. Lockwood was spe- 
cially earnest in his commendation of Ocracoke, in the way of good 
and abundant shooting, efficient guides, perfect equipment, and 
reasonable rates for everything. They also had some experience 
as deep-sea sailors, journeying via the Old Dominion Line to 
Norfolk. 
»? 
Mr. J S. Fanning, well known as one of the best shooters, as 
well as the best of good fellows, returned to New York early last 
week, after an absence of three months in the Southwest, chiefly in 
I exas, travpline- in the interests of the Laflm S- P— TX^wd^T 
Company. During his absence he traveled about 12,000 miles, an 
average of 4,000 miles a month. Notwithstanding such strejiuous 
activity, IVlr Fanning was as calm, healthy and neatly groomed as 
if such speedy journeymgs had no fatigues, no poor hotels nor no 
broken hours of rest. 
T Cihfcittitati (0,) (Jiiti titib Biiiieitne«:!i tfaeti eeaith^iUelflg 6ti 
Jan, 4j 190.?, at 1 o elock Y\ M., a series of tvventysix target con* 
tests will begin, each contest to be at 50 targets; handicaps 14 to 
22yds., class shooting. Each contestant must be a member of- the 
club; in good standing, and must participate in at least eighteen 
contests to be eligible to a division of the moneys. In further- 
ance of this purpose, seventeen gentlemen have donated $10 eaeh, 
namely: Messrs. Louis Ahlers, Jos. E. Block, L. H, Butts, Fred 
Corry, John W . Coleman, E. A. Donnellv, Max Fleischmann, A. 
B. Heyl. H. F. Jergens, Thos. A. Logan, Tohn B. Mosby, J, E. 
Maynard, G. W. Schuler, R. H. West, K. S. Waddell, Emile 
Work, C. G. Zimmerman. Others to be added later. Mr. John 
B. Mosby, 115 East Second street, Cincinnati, is the chairman. 
The sad news came to New Y'ork on Friday of last week that 
Mr. C. M. Lincoln had passed away at Atlanta, Ga., on the morn- 
ing of that day. His death was caused by typhoid fever. The 
best of care and nursing availed nothing, so virulent was the at- 
tack. During several months past Mr, Lincoln represented the 
U. M. C. Company at Atlanta, and had become exceedingly popu- 
lar and successful in his new field of effort. There were many sad 
faces and many heartfelt expressions of regret over his death among 
the shooters in the gun district of New York, of whom he was an 
active member before he went to the South, and by whom he was 
held in the highest esteem. He was of an amiable disposition, 
and won friends readily everywhere. 
Mr. Ed Rike, of Dayton, O., famous in trapshooting circles as a 
skillful performer, arrived in New Y^ork on Monday cif this week 
and started at once in quest of news concerning the condition of 
his close friend, Mr. R. O. Heikes, also of Dayton, who was 
suffering from a severe attack of tonsilitis, with symptoms of 
pneumonia added thereto. Mr. Heikes was confined to his bed 
and seemed to suffer profoundly from the threatened attack. His 
friends in the gun colony were deeply concerned over the report 
and many hearty wishes were uttered by tliem for the speedy 
recovery of the conceded Daddy of 'em all in the shooting line.

^ Mr. T. H. Keller, manager of the Eastern Branch of the Peters 
Cartridge Company, of Cincinnati, informs us that the orders have 
so overtaxed the capacity of the plant that extensive additions 
were a necessity, and are now in progress. Two buildings, of two 
stories each, one 50 by 90ft., the other 50 by 50, and a number of 
smaller buildings are in course of construction, while additions also 
are being made to the older buildings. Steam boilers of large 
capacity, two two-horse-power engines and a large electric plant 
are added to the power. A 2,000,000-gallon reservoir, with a 
complete, fire apparatus, secure the greatest safety from fires. 
The first shoot of a series between teams of the Highland Gun 
Club and the Clearview Gun Club, for a silver cup, took place 
at Gorgas Station, I'a., on Dec. 14. The conditions were nine 
rnen to a team, 25 targets per man, 16yds. rise, unknown angles, 
the winner of two in three contests owns the cup. The scores 
were; Clearview Team— Elwell 21, Lawrence 21, Paist 20, Jones 
19, Freed 16, Forden 14, Carr 12, Leight 12, Downs 10; total 145. 
Highland I eam--Fertsch 18, Dunlevy 16, B. Bisbing 15, Meehan 
.•AY^'^'^ Wentz 14, M. Bisbing 11, Hammell 11; 
total 129. 
In our trap columns this week Mr. Ed Banks, secretary- 
treasurer of the Interstate Association, calls attention to the wishes 
of the Association concerning the holding of target tournaments 
m the Middle West under its auspices. To this end it desires to 
receive applications from clubs, all of which should be in writing 
and addressed to the manager of the Interstate Association Mr 
Elmer E. Shaner, 111 Fourth avenue, Pittsburg, Pa. Applications 
should be made before Jan. 15 next. 
At a match shot between Dr. F. C. Wilson and Mr. H. Mason 
Clapp, of Savannah, Ga., and held after the Doctor's invitation 
shoot was concluded, the conditions were 100 selected live birds, 
30yds. rise and scant 30yds. boundary. The scores were- Dr 
Wilson 95, with three dead out, Mr. Clapp 86, with four dead out. 
Capt. A. W. du Bray was referee; Mr. H. Lemcke scorer. A re- 
turn match was arranged. 
The Interstate Association held an important meeting on Dec. 
12, at 4-4 Cedar street. New York. Its season for 1902 will be 
marked by greater activity and a wider scope of action. More tar- 
get tournaments will probably be held than ever were held in any 
prior year. All the members are earnest in promoting the Asso- 
ciation's welfare, which no doubt is one reason for its eminent 
success. 
The S. S. White Gun Club and the Highland Gun Club held a 
twelve-man team shoot, 25 targets per man on the grounds of the 
latter, Gorgas Station, Pa., on Saturday of last week. The White 
team had a handicap allowance of 5 extra targets per man, and 
won by a score of 179 to 175. This is the third team contest be- 
tween these two clubs, all of which were won by the S. S White 
Club. 
J. L. Head, of Peru, Ind., was in New York last week, in the 
interests of his company, the Wabash R. R. He has taken up the 
preliminary details of arranging for a party by special car via 
his line from New York to Kansas City, to attend the Grand 
American Handicap at live birds. Mr. Head no doubt will make 
a success of this undertaking, as he is both popular and able. 
Mr. F. C. Tuttle, treasurer of the Peters Cartridge Company, 
Cincinnati, O., was a visitor in New York last week. He was 
present at the team contest of New York and New Jersey, at 
Interstate Park, on Wednesday, and greatly enjoyed that event. 
He also was impressed with the size of the equipment of the 
park, as indeed all are who see it for the first time. 
The very interesting report of Capt A. W. du Brav, in respect 
to Dr. F. C. Wilson's invitation shoot at Savannah, Ga., held re- 
cently, is pleasing in itself, and specially valuable in the new 
vistas of hospitality which it discloses to the perception of those 
who enjoy sport and good-fellowship for their own sake. It is 
published elsewhere in our trap columns. 
The third contest of the series between New York and New 
Jersey resulted in a tie. 181 to each team out of a possible 200. 
Each man shot at 25 birds. Although it was expected that not 
less than fifteen would contest on each side, New Jersey could 
not muster more than eight available men, but nevertheless she 
bravely contested with vvhab she had. 
H 
Last Saturday in and around New York was raw, rainy and 
gloomy, conditions unfavorable for good trapshooting scores. The 
third match between J. E. "Super" and Mr. John S. Wright was 
below their previous performances. Super scored 36, Wright 19. 
The conditions of these matches were 30 single targets and 10 
pairs. ■ 
The first contest for the Cincinnati Gun Club's trophy, Dec 11, 
resulted in a tie between Messrs. Kohler and Ahlers, who were 
the only ones to kill straight. Darkness set in before the race 
was finished, and the remaining part of it will be concluded at the 
next conte.st. 
The Hamilton (Canada) Gun Club's secretary is Mr. W. M. 
Clendcnning, to whom all communications should be addressed. 
The club has installed a set of Fulford traps, and rearranged its 
club grounds. The prospects for its forthcoming tournament are 
bright. 
The Garden City Gun Club's twelfth and deciding shoot of the 
series for club medals was shot at Watson's Park, Burnside Cross- 
ing, III., on Saturday of last week. Mr. Alabaster won high 
average and Mr. Y^oung won the handicap medal.

The Hamilton Gun Club. 
Hamii.ton, Canada, Dec. 13. — Since the first notices regarding 
the tournament of the Hamilton Gun Club were sent out, Mr. VV. 
i\l. Clendenning has been appointed as secretary to the club. 
Kindly alter notices, so that all correspondence will be addressed 
to him. \Ve have purchased a set of Fulford live-bird traps, and 
they are now being put in order. A v/ater-tight box^ extending 
from No.^ 1 to No. 5 traps has been built. This is lighted from 
above through narrow strips of heavy plate-glass, and we can as- 
sure our friends that they will find our club grounds perfect in 
every detail before the date of our tournament. 
The club house is nearly completed, the magautrap is already in 
position, and the score protected on the north by an open shelter 
adjoining the club house. The live-bird traps are on about the 
same ground as before, but the score is moved to the west, bring- 
ing the trees along the upper end of the grounds behind the dead 
line, and allowing a clear field to shoot over, thus eliminating the 
worst defect of our old grounds. 
On Nov. 30 the live-bird match between Upton and Overholt- 
Briggar and Hunter was shot off. The trapper failed to provide 
sufficient birds for a 25-bird match, so each man shot at 10 birds. 
Scores were: Upton 9, Overholt 9; total 18. Briggar 9, Hunter 7; 
total 16. 
Three lO-bird target events were, then shot off as a parting shot 
over the old score:

A friendly team race has been arranged between the Hamilton 
Gun Club and the Stanley Gun Club, of Toronto. Conditions: 
Home and home matches, the Hamilton team shooting in Toronto 
on Dec, 14, and the return match will be shot off on our grounds 
on a date to be chosen by the Stanley Gun Club. The teams 
to be ten men to each side, each man to shoot at 10 sparrows and 
25 targets. 
The Grand American, being shot so far away, seems to be im- 
proving our prospects tor a very large attendance at our January 
meeting. The number of applications for programmes far exceed 
those of any previous year. Ben It. 
Garden City Gun Club. 
Burnside Crossing. Chicago, Dec. 14.— The Garden City Gun 
Club shot their twelfth and deciding shoot for the club medals of 
1901. Mr. Alabaster won the high average, and Mr. Young won 
the handicap medal on the shoot-off with Mr. Alabaster, each hav- 
ing won it four times. The day was very rare for trapshooting; 
it was 7 below all day, the ground covered with snow and bright 
sunshine making it hard to see some of the light-colored birds.
