DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for 
publication in these columns, also any news notes they 
may care to have published. Mail all such' matter to 
Forest and Stream Publishing Company, 346 Broadzvay, 
New York. Forest and Stream goes to press on Tues- 
day OF EACH WEEK. 
The Canonchet Gun Club has arranged to hold a shoot at 
Narragansett Pier, R. I., on July 4. 
The total number of targets trapped at the G. A. H. at Indian- 
apolis, last week, the time being four and one-half days, was 
152,300. 
'- 
Mr. Geo. B. Dechant, secretary, informs us that the Recrea- 
tion Gun Club, Renovo, Pa., will hold a two-day target tourna- 
ment on August 23-24. 
It has been decided that Mr. Chas. North will have charge of 
the traps and give his skilful, energetic assistance as general 
expert at the Indian tournament, to be held at West Baden, Ind., 
August 9-12. 
The Indianapolis Morning Star, concerning the shooting at 
Indianapolis, on the first day, June 21, of the G. A. H., presents 
some figuring as follows: "Forty-three thousand three hundred 
and eighty cracks at 5 cents per crack brought the total cost of 
the day's shooting up to $2,169." 
Mr. John S. Wright, manager of the Brooklyn Gun Club, an- 
nounces a shoot for July 4, commencing at 2 o'clock P. M. There 
will be three prize events on the programme. To reach the 
grounds, take Kings County Elevated to Crescent street station, 
thence by hacks to the grounds on Kaiser's farm. 
H 
Mr. J. L. D. Morrison, of St. Paul, Minn., made high amateur 
average in the amateur events of the G. A. H. programme, at 
Indianapolis, last week, and also beat all the professionals for 
high average in the same events, leading Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, 
the highest professional, by one target. 
There was a strong, widespread sentiment among the shooters 
at Indianapolis, in favor of holding it there next year. A petition 
in favor of Indianapolis, signed by nearly every sportsman present, 
was prepared for submission to the Interstate Association. There 
was a rumor that some other cities were interested in securing 
this great event. 
ft 
Mr. E. J. Laughlin, secretary, writes us as follows: The 
Riverside Gun Club, of Utica, will hold a Jack Rabbit shoot on 
its grounds, foot of Meadow street, on July 4, commencing at 
12:30 P. M. The programme will consist of seven 10-bird events, 
$1 entrance in each, birds extra at one cent each. Three moneys, 
50, 30 and 20 per cent. Extra events, time permitting. 
* 
Mr. Fred C. Whitney, the cashier of the G. A. H. at Targets, 
last week at Indianapolis, notwithstanding his many busy 
moments taking in and distributing many thousands of dollars 
in cash, was the calmest, most imperturbable gentleman on the 
grounds. Dressed in spotlessly neat negligee apparel, he seemed 
to be comfortably cool in the hottest weather. Handling the 
cash, keeping trace of it through all the ramifications of percent- 
, ages and winnings and bringing all the accounts out balanced to 
a cent, seemed to disturb him no more than a sweet shower dis- 
turbs a duck's back. As an expert in the cashier's office, Mr. 
Whitney has repeatedly proven his excellence. 
Mr. W. P. Crosby, at the G. A. H. last week, was not in a 
state of mind for target breaking. For several weeks past, mem- 
bers of his family have been afflicted with fever, and consequently 
he was in a state of constant anxiety concerning their welfare. 
He was also worn by long vigils during weeks past. That he 
shot so well under the circumstances is marvelous.

Capt. James R. Malone, 2671 Pennsylvania avenue, Baltimore. 
Md., has announced his tenth annual summer tournament, to 
be held at one of Baltimore's new summer rescrts, Love Point, 
August 3 and 5. The competition will be open to all. The pro- 
gramme will include both target and live-bird competitions. Mr. 
Malone will be pleased to send programmes to all who apply 
for them. 
A rabbit foot, duly qualified as to grave yard domicile, mid- 
night death and darkness, etc., seems to be of no avail in pro- 
tecting the professicnal from the amateur in tournaments. While 
the rabbit feet are doubtlessly potent as charms in an exceedingly 
generaly way, they seem to be charmless in G. A. H. in particular. 
The average amateur trapshooter seems to be too potent for the 
special rabbit tootsie wootsie. 
If 
The last live-bird match for the New Jersey State championship 
took place at Lake Denmark, N. J., on Saturday of last week, 
between Messrs. H. C. Koegel and T. W. Morfey. The birds 
were a good lot. Mr. Kcegel won by a score of 23 to 22. This 
trophy will be associated with many well contested matches for 
its possession in the past, and it was won finally by one of 
New Jersey's most steady and skilful shooters. 
« .' 
The programme of the Buffalo Bill Gun Club tournament, to be 
held at North Platte, Neb., July 18-20, is a work of art. Thirty- 
four target events are provided for the three days, Targets 
thrown from 72ft. tower, will be a feature of several events. The 
events are at 15 and 20 targets, $1.50 and $2 entrance; $5 and $8 
added. Event 22 on the second day will be at 50 targets, for 
Denver-Post trophy. Ship guns and shells, prepaid, to W. S. 
Dolson. 
:\ 
The five sets of traps at the G. A. IT., at Indianapolis, Ind., 
last week, on Tuesday, boosted up several notches the records 
of target throwing in one day. The number thrown, 42,680, is 
likely to remain undisturbed in the realm of the superlative for 
a long while. Incidentally, the record is both a testimonial to 
the perfection of the traps, and the perfection of the Indian- 
apolis Gun Club's equipment. The previous high record was that 
of Buffalo, in 1899, when about 33, COO were thrown in one day. 
*? 
Messrs. Knox and Knapp, Auburn, N. Y., inform us that they 
will give a large tournament on Labor day, September 5. They 
will give added money. Targets at iy 2 cent. In the last event, 
for all shooters who have shot the programme through, they will 
give a $50 hammerless gun, no charge for targets or for gun. 
Those who have shot 80 per cent, in programme, 16yds.; 85 per 
cent., 17yds.; 90 per cent. 18yds.. Also a nice hammerless will 
be given in event No. C, regular merchandise. Book programmes 
sent out August 15. 
The ultima thule of industrial effort is sometimes colloquially 
expressed by the term, "He worked like a beaver," but a busy . 
beaver in comparison with Mr. Elmer E. Shaner managing the 
Grand American Handicap at targets last week, would be an 
example of calm repose in comparison. And yet in ruling upon 
and arranging all the infinity and diversity of G. A. H. detail, 
Mr. Shaner never was flurried, never was at a loss as to what 
was the proper thing to do and how to do it, and, withal, he 
was never irritable or peevish. 
Mr. Irby Bennett, president of the Interstate Association, was 
an ubiquitous and indefatigable worker at the G. A. H. at Targets 
last week. As the chief executive of the Association, he was 
ever graciously alert to its best interests. . Thoroughly trained in 
business affairs, he also is an ideal of the suaviter in modo, fortiter 
in re. As a speech maker of fine presence, he shone forth at his 
best. His presentation speeches, incident to the delivery of the 
cups to the winners, abounded in felicitous, sportsmanlike senti- 
ment, delivered with accuracy and elegance of diction.

Emerald Gun Club. 
New York. —Appended are the scores of the Emerald Gun Club 
shoot, held at Outwater's, Carlstadt, N. J., June 21. You will 
note that we shoot the January and February shoots of 1905. 
This ends our shooting ye?.r. Mr. Louis Colquitt won high 
average for the year. I will send you list of winners of average 
and point prizes after our annual meeting. 
The club will probably have a few contests at targets the com- 
ing- six months, at Capt. Dreyer's grounds at Bergen Beach, L. I. 
Capt. Dreyer and Capt. Rierson, at the shoot, gave the club 
$10 in gold each, added to the general prizes, making a total of 
$120 in cash, besides the valuable merchandise prizes usually in 
the club's prize list. 
The old Emeralds were organized in 1881, and the old war horse. 
Dr. Hudson is the only charter member left, and is still in harness 
and looking for trouble.- Our hats are off to him, metaphorically 
speaking, as the lamented Jacob Pentz would say, and may he 
shoot in the ranks of the Emerald Gun Club for many years to 
come in live-bird contests, whether it be in Pennsylvania or Ken- 
tucky in the future. 
Ex-Presidents Regan and Joerger were among the interested 
spectators of our probably final shoot in the State of New Jersey. 
The weather was warm. A good wind, blowing from 7 o'clock, 
made the birds outgeers. President May shot in good form, con- 
sidering that business kept him away from the last four shoots. 
Catton shot well. A sweep was shot on the total of 20 birds. 
Schorty was first; second was divided between Koegel and Van 
Valkenburg; Catton was third alone: 
January, 1905. February, 1905.

New Jersey Slate Championship. 
Lake Denmark, N. J., June 25. — The contest for the New Jersey 
State championship between Messrs. H. C. Koegel and T. W. 
Morfey, to-day resulted in a victory for the former. Mr. Morfey 
had defended it several times successfully in recent months. To- 
day he was not in his usual good form. The birds a good lot. 
Mr. Koegel is known as one of New Jersey's expert shooters, 
and has competed successfully many times heretofore at the traps. 
This is the last live-bird shoot in the State of New Jersey for 
the State championship, and the medal emblematic of it.. 
The expert in trapshooting matters, Mr. Frank E. Butler, acted 
as referee. The scores:

Montclair, N. J., June 25.— But seven men were present to-day, 
many of the members having gone away for the summer. 
Mr. Kendall was shooting in good form, and toward the close 
Mr. Cockefair showed considerable improvement, by that time 
having "got on" to his new gun. Mr. Batten also shows improve- 
ment over recent shooting. Scores:

Indfpendenls Defeat Pattecburgs. 
Pattenburg, N. J.— A Very interesting tournament took place at 
Pattenburg, June 18. About thirty shooters commenced shooting 
at 10 o'clock and kept it up fairly well all day. E. F. Markley 
made longest straight run, a straight 50 in the forenoon. The 
contest between the Independent Club, of Eaton, and the Pat- 
tenburg Club resulted in a defeat by 23 targets in the Independents' 
favor. Several visitors witnessed the events, as well as the match 
between the two clubs, which was very interesting, until one of 
the Pattenburgs made a break and went down to 13, and with a 
few differences of this kind, it put the Pattenburgers out of 
business. As the shoot was for the suppers, there seemed to be 
a larger gap than ever, and it looked at one time as if it would 
be impossible to get enough together to feed all hands; but after 
trying it for about fifteen minutes at Mr. Milbern's table, it was 
agreed that it would be useless to try to in any way consume 
all the tempting food he had prepared for the boys. All, well 
pleased, departed for their several towns and cities, hoping soon to 
meet again. Scores: 
Independent— J. Pleiss 24, O. Skeds 19, J. E. Gunther 20, H. 
Snyder 21, W. Hahn 23, A. H. Maurer 22, J. E. Maurer 23, H. G. 
Miller 22, J. H. Heil 20, E. F. Markley 24; total 218. 
Pattenburg— P. Rockafellow 23, Harry Gano 21, J. Warford 24, 
E. Wilson 23, R. Stamets 19, J. Williamson 13, A. E. Holbrook 
18, L. Rupell 15, N. Stamets 21, H. L. Gano 18; total 195.

Cincinnati Gun Club. 
Cincinnati.— The shoot of the Cincinnati' Gun Club, on June 25 
was not so well attended as usual, although the weather was fine. 
In a team match at 50 targets, 22yds. rise, shot on the same 
day, Gambell and Rhoads were defeated by T. H. Clay and Hen-
