DRIVERS AND TWISTERS, 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for

may care to have published. Mail all such matter to

Dr. Ashley A. Webber, whose fame as an expert with pistol 
and shotgun was international, died at his home, 168 North 
Sixth Street, Brooklyn, on Feb. 17. He was best known to fame 
as an expert revolver shot, excelling in skill at the long ranges 
of 50 and 100 yards. His home contains dozens of trophies won in 
competition with the most skillful contestants. He attained high 
skill with the shotgun. In the Grand American Handicap of 
1900, shooting under the name of Dr. Casey, he was one of eight 
to kill 25 straight, and lost a bird in the shoot ofi through the 
oversight of using his gun unloaded. In the sweepstakes and 
trophy competitions about New York, he was a skillful and suc- 
cessful competitor. His fondness for field sports was as great 
as his fondness for trapshooting. He was quite an all round ath- 
lete, excelling as an oarsman, sprinter, jumper, etc. The exac- 
tions of his profession in the last two or three years were so 
great that they precluded participation in his favorite sports. He 
was a member of the" dispensary staff of the Eastern District 
Hospital, Brooklyn. He also was a member of the Seawanhaka 
Boat Club and Hanover Club. Bright's disease was the cause 
of his death. 
The following interesting clipping treats of a matter of more 
than passing importance. "Nebraska's crack shots are rejoiced 
to hear that Kansas City's team wants to try them on again. 
Chris Gottlieb, one of the best men on the Kansas City team, has 
been visiting Frank Parmelee, and he says that his team is 
anxious to come up here and try conclusions once more. Seven 
times now have teams from these two cities met, and the Oma- 
hans have won six of the seven shoots. All were fifty-bird races 
but the last two, which were twenty-five each. The local men 
have jumped at the offer of the Missourians, ana the match will 
probably come off in March. It is remarkable how close the 
total scores have always been in these races. Of five races at 
Kansas City, Omaha has won by two birds twice, by five once, 
by seven once and by eleven once. That is a small number out 
of several hundred birds trapped." 
The holiday shoot of the Crescent Athletic Club was well at- 
tended on Monday of this week. The shooting contingent was out 
in force, thirty shooters, all told. It was the largest ever held 
as to total amount of shooting. The Holiday Cup and three 
trophies donated by Messrs. T. A. Stake, L. C. Hopkins and F. 
C. Bedford, Jr., respectively, afforded ample incentive to com- 
pete. The Holiday Cup was won by Mr. A. R. Fish, with a 
straight score of 25. Dr. F. C. Ra>Tior won the Stake trophy. 
Mr. G. G. Stephenson, Jr., won the Hopkins trophy after a long- 
struggle in shoot offs; he made one straight score of 25 wuhout 
any allowance. 
A correspondent informs us that "The .Aquidneck Gun Club, 
of Newport, R. I., is preparing to hold its seconu annual tourna- 
ment on May 30 next. High average prizes in cash will be offered 
as well as other attractive features. No pains will be spared to 
make the shoot run as smoothly as possible. The fact that this 
shoot will occur just previous to the inter-State tournament at 
Wellington. Mass., should insure a good attendance. Prosrramraes 
will be ready about April 15, and may be had by addressing J. S. 
Coggeshall, Secretary, Box 19." 
On Saturday of last weel< in the inter-club 5-man team shoot, 
at Philadelphia, there were entries as follows: Delaware Count v 
Country Club, Frankford Gun Club, S. S. White Gun Club, Cen- 
tury Wheelmen, Highland Gun Club, Independent Gun Club and 
Florists' Gun Club, The conditions were 50 targets to a man, It; 
yards' rise, 25 targets over the Sergeant system and 25 over the 
magautrap. The Kcores were: Florists, 195: Hiffhland, 190; 
Independent, 182; Frankford, 178; Century, 169; Delaware, 1|S6; 
S. S. White, 166. 
An exchange states that "Carl Von Lengerke, for years one of 
the crack shotgun artists of the world, has been in Omaha dur- 
ing the last week and has been over nt the cross-river grounds 
almost evetv' day, startling the natives with his expertness at the 
trigger and" traps. Von Lengerke has twice held the coveted 
honor of being runner-up in the Grand American Handicap events, 
though he has never succeeded in taking top honors." 
From a local paper we take the following: "Because of the 
death of Max Condit the Poug^hkeepsie Gun Club, of which he 
was a member, will not take part in the shoot at Ossining Mon- 
day. The club will attend Mr. Gondii's funeral in a body and 
will send a floral tribute in the _shape of. a. large. 'blue .rock,' made 
from flowers of suitable colors." 
In a team race at Kansas City. Mo., Feb. 14. four men to a- 
team, 25 live birds ].>er man, Elliott. Il.jarn, O'Brien and Cockrell 
against Gottlieb, Bramhall. Riehf and Smith, the result was a tie, 
each winning a race. The results were: First race, O'Brien's 
team, 82 to S3. Second race, O'Brien's team, 84 to 74. The tie 
was not shot oft'. 
The grand averages for 4 days' targets and live birds, made at 
the Detroit tournament. Feb 10-14, are as follows: First, Griffith, 
93 1-3 per cent.; 2d, Gilbert, 92 2-3 per cent.; 3d, Weatherhead, 
91 2-3 per cent. ; 4th, Simmonds, 91 per cent. ; 5th, Bohncy, 87 1-3 
per cent. 
In the shoot of the Jeannette Gun Club, held at Guttenburg, 
N. J., on Feb. 20, Mr. D. Mohrmann, Class B, was the only con- 
testant who made a straight score in the club event. Mr. G. 
Grieff won Class A, Mr. A. Schumacher won Class C, Mr. J. 
Hainhorst won the challenge medal contest. 
The programme of the first annual tournainent of the Hous- 
ton (Tex.) Gun Club, to be held March 17 to 19, provides 5500 
added money. The grounds will be open on March 20 and 21, 
preliminary to the Texas State Sportsman's annual shoot, at 
Brenham, Tex., March 23-26. ^ 
In the team contest between the Keystone Shooting League and 
the Baltimore Shooting Association, at Holmest>iirg Junction, Pa., 
on Thursday of last week, Keystone won by a score, of 164 to 
150. There were eight men on a side, 25 birds per man, or 200 
to each team. 
In the match contest at Ritterr.ville. Pa., Feb. 20, between Mr. 
T. W. Morfey, of Dover, N. J., and Mr. D. S. Doudt, champion 
wing shot of the Lehigh Valley, Morfey won by a score of 86 
to 73, each contestant shooting at 100 live birds. 
at 
Mr. Isaac Budd, at the shoot of the Keystone Shooting League, 
Feb. 21. made straight scores in the club handicap and the offi- 
cers' trophy contest, 25 in all, and then, by way of continuation, 
won a miss and out alone. 
Elsewhere in 6'lir trap columns is a communication from the 
Oneida County Sportsman's Association, in which is set forth its 
willingness to undertake the lesponsibilities of the New York 
State shoot.

In a team contest, ten men on a side, All-Nebraska against 
Omaha, 25 birds per man, the former won by a score of 216 to 
212. A return match may be shot in April. 
The energetic and popular T. vV. Keller, of New York, but 
of the world in regard to friends, was laid up from business last 
week, due to a severe attack of la , grippe. 
Mr. H. Justins, of San Francisco, Cal., wliere he '.j lamous in 
sportsmen's affairs, arrived in New York on the Etruria from 
England on Monday of this week. 
Mr. John Wright announces that he has found it desirable to 
change the date of his shoot from March 12 to March 19. It is 
to be held at Carlstadt, N. J. 
Owing to the fact that Monday of this_ week was a holiday in 
New York, several communications are in consequence crowded 
over till next week.

Mr. Luther Squiers, of Cincinnati, and Mr. B. Leroy Wood- 
ard, Campello, Mass., were visitors in New York early this week. 
The annual meeting of the Emerald Gun Club wiU be held on

Ossining Gun Glob, 
Ossining, N. Y, — The following scores were made at the regu- 
lar weekly shoot of the Ossining Gun Club, Saturday, Feb. 21. In 
expectation of the shoot we are to hold on the 23d inst., there was 
not a very good attendance. A. Rohr and M. H. Dyckman, with 
their handicaps in the Handicap Cup event, made 25, Rohr get- 
ting 25 on the shoot off to Dyckman's 24; this gives Rohr two 
wins for the cup : he has to win it but once more to hold it 
permanently. In the Scratch Cup event, E. Ball got a win with 
23 out of 25; this makes one win each for Ball, Washburn and 
Blandford. There is some talk of the gun club holding the State 
shoot for 19C3, owing to the Schenectady Gun Club being unable 
to get suitable grounds. We will send a representative to the 
meeting of the N. Y. State Association at Rochester, March 7, 
and make a try for it anyway.

Boston G«n Club. 
Boston, Mass., Feb. 11. — ^The regtilfir weekly shoot of the Bos- 
ton Gun Club was held on their Wellington grounds to-day, and 
26' shooters kept scorers, and trapper busy till darkness prevented 
target from being seen, and many of the attcnaants were com- 
pelled to go . away kind of half filled as far as their trapshooting 
wants were concerned. Straight scores were at high rates, similar 
to shells and ammunition at present, though Perkins, Leroy and 
Dennison managed to. secure one each, the former's being at Iff 
and the. two latter.'s at.lQ. 
Perkins led in the prize match with Dr. Gleason one target to 
rear, ready to take advantage of any slip and shooting a strong 
uphill race from. the start. .Leroy, Woodruff and John were next 
in line One target to the good, of another Brockton representa- 
tive, Leonard, with 20. In the consecutive match Perkins came 
very near clipping the record to date, but grassed a nice 20, and'. 
Still hopes for more. Other scores as follows:

Boston, Feb. .18.— Cold, weather and lots of it was what was 
most in view, at the fifth serial prize shoot of the Boston Gun 
Club, held , at Wellington to-day, and just 8 snooters braved the 
zero day to indulge in their favorite pastime of trap shooting. 
The consecutive break match was hardly worth calling one, Glea- 
son being high with 8, which does not show any Fred Gilbert 
shooting, but then we had just as much iun, and all were more 
than satisfied with their afternoon's sport. Gleason was high 
in the prize match, closely followed by Kirkwood with 20, not 
a high score to look at, but circumstances alter cases. Other

■Winciiestef Gun Club. 
1 Mich.— After a let up in the zero weather and what 
looked like a fine day for shooting, a blizzard sneaked on High- 
land Park, and caught quite a bunch, but didn't stop them from 
shooting. Some good scores were made, but it was hard work to 
keep It up. Two tied in Class B and also in C, necessitating an- 
other 2o stunt in the cold. 
Nearly everyone had trouble with their guns. The trap seemed 
to object to working on such a day, but it all only added to the 
big jolly time in the little club house. 
Following are the scores, the 3d event at 20 yards, the 8th and 
9th the trophy and club events respectively, and the 10th the 
shoot off:
