DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
F. B. Stephenson, of the New York Athletic Club, 
toured to Danbury in his auto with his brother G. G. 
He made 134 out of 150, got a ne>v hat and enjoyed 
the shoot. 
The Alert Gun Club of Phillipsburg, N. J., will hold 
its sixth annual tournament on Labor Day. Secretary 
Edward F. Markley, at Easton, Pa., will be glad to give 
you full information. 
* 
Lester German, A. E. Sibley, W. Darnton, H. H. 
Stevens and Jack Fanning, all went through town yes¬ 
terday wearing brand new derby hats. As the weather 
was straw like, they were kept busy explaining that 
they had just come from the Western Connecticut Trap- 
shooters’ League tournament at Danbury, and had shot 
themselves into a new hat apiece.

The Indians, an organization of the crack trapshooters 
of America, national in scope, will hold its annual meet¬ 
ing at Spirit Lake this year during the last three days 
in August. These good marksmen include men of 
prominence from all walks of life, such as John Philip 
Sousa, Gilbert, Crosby, German. The membership comes 
from twenty-nine different States—from New York to 
Washington and from North Dakota to Mississippi. 
Uniqueness and a spectacular phase is given the gather¬ 
ing by the big social function in which the members and 
their visitors all dress in elaborate Indian costume.

The members of the Mount Kisco Gun Club request 
the presence of yourself and friends at the opening of 
the new club house and grounds on Willetts road, Mount 
Kisco, on Saturday, Aug. 5, 1911. Shooting begins at 
1:30 P. M., sharp. Please reply, if you, or any of your 
friends will be present. Officers: George E. Linton, 
President; John H. Miller, Treasurer; A. Betti, Secre¬ 
tary-Manager. There has long been an opening for a live 
gun club in this territory, and Forest and Stream wel¬ 
comes this new organization to the shooting field with 
good wishes for success. 
A one-day registered tournament will be held on Aug. 
12 by the Chicopee Falls (Mass.) Rod and Gun Club. 
It will be the fifth annual, and, while all previous .shoots 
here have been successful, it is firmly expected this will 
be the banner tournament. Ten 15-target events, for 
moneys, and one event of 15 targets for merchandise, 
constitute the program. Division, Rose system, 5, 3, 2, 1, 
optional sweepstakes, 40, 30, 20, 10, under Squier Money- 
back system. Merchandise event for cut-glass, high gun, 
miss-and-out, six prizes. Grounds open for practice 
Friday at 2 P. M. To reach grounds take Liberty street 
cars from Springfield station, or corner of Main and 
Lyman street. Officers: E. R. Sawin, President; L. J. 
Holmes, Vice-President; S. Hall, Treasurer; F. E. H. 
Sheldon, Secretary; E. Case, Captain. 
Get the program of the Warm Springs (Ga.) tourna¬ 
ment, to be held Aug. 21-23. It’s worth scanning. The 
shoot will be held on the grounds of the Meriwether 
Gun Club (the old name for the Warm Springs Club). 
First day, ten events of 20 targets each. Second day, 
ten events of 20 targets each. Third day, Warm Springs 
Handicap for Amateurs, 50 targets; first prize, silver 
trophy; division of entrance money, 30, 20, 15, 13, 12, 
10; $25 added. Warm Springs Handicap, free-for-all, 50 
targets; entrance money divided 30, 20, 15, 13, 12, 10; $25 
added. High guns, not class shooting. High score 
amateur for first two days will receive a special trophy. 
Warm Springs is on the Columbus Division of the 
Southern Railway, 40 miles from Columbus and 75 miles 
from Atlanta; also on the main line of the Atlanta, 
Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad, from Birmingham to 
Brunswick, Ga. Morning and afternoon trains each 
way daily. Express office, Western Union Telegraph, 
Long Distance Telephone connected with all points on 
the Southern Bell system. The Warm Springs of Meri¬ 
wether county, Ga., on the north side of Pine Mountain, 
with its high altitude 1,200 feet above sea level, delight¬ 
ful climate, beautiful scenery and magnificent bathing, 
has for many years been the favorite summer resort of 
the South Atlantic and Gulf States, and the capacity of 
its accommodations is fully utilized each summer. The 
spring is one of the natural wonders of America, flowing 
1,400 gallons per minute, with temperature of the water 
at 90 degrees. It is a pleasant and effective cure for 
rheumatism, dyspepsia, insomnia, diseases of the skin, 
liver and kidneys. 
* 
Two Salt Lake City theorists have brought forth a 
new plan for capturing the elusive wild horse. The idea 
certainly bears the hall mark of novelty, if not of prac¬ 
ticability. They would tip a rifle ball with magnesium, 
containing a gelatine capsule, filled with a powerful 
drug. The "bullet” being only sufficiently hard to en¬ 
able its being fired from a rifle. Upon striking the 
animal the magnesium dissolves in the flesh, allowing 
the drug to do its work. The "bullet,” it is claimed, 
would cause no permanent injury, unless it struck a vital 
spot. While the "old hoss” is “sleeping off” the ef¬ 
fects of its involuntary “load,” it is harnessed and made 
ready for its life of truckling (see subservient in Webster). 
The present system of catching wild horses is to run 
them down with relays of broken horses, which neces¬ 
sarily is tedious and expensive work. To “shoot ’em 
up” would reduce expense and increase profit. It is 
hoped the animal would not acquire the drug habit from 
the rifle injection. 
On Aug. 15-16, the two days’ registered tournament of 
the New England championship shoot at singles will be 
held by Portland (Me.) Gun Club. First day, ten events, 
20 targets each. Events 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 will constitute the 
New England championship team shoot; five-man teams, 
trophy to each man on winning team. High gun, $10; 
second high, $5; eight prizes to next eight high guns. 
Second day, ten events, 20 targets each. Events, 4, 5 
6, 7, 8 will be the. individual championship of New 
England. High averagge amateur for two days,. $25; 
second and third, $5. High professional, a big cut-glass 
punch bowl. S. W. Dimick, secretary, wishes an early 
notice from those intending to participate. Address 
5 Monument Square, Portland. The secretary says: 
“Do not criticize our program. We are putting the 
money into the events.” However, the remark seems 
hardly necessary, as the program is adequate, well 
written and decidedly neat, though a trifle envious in 
color. 
K 
At the last meeting of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ 
League three clubs were added to its circuit, thus 
making it the strongest shooting league in the East, 
and one of the most powerful target organizations in the 
country. The new members are the Du Pont Gun Club, of 
Wilmington, Del., represented on the board of direc¬ 
tors by its secretary, T. E. Doremus; Clearview Gun 
Club, of Darby, Pa., represented on the board of direc¬ 
tors by Harry Fisher, and the Lansdale Gun Club, of 
Lansdale, Pa., whose board member is J. T. Kauffin. 
The P. T. S. L. now has eight clubs in its membership. 
The following officers were elected: President, William 
P. Severn, S. S. White Gun Club: Vice-President, Frank 
J. Hineline, South End; Secretary-Treasurer, William E. 
Robinson, S. S. White, and for the board of directors: 
F. S. Cantrell, Jr., S. S. White; J. Franklin Meehan, 
Highland; Robert Fleming, South End; F. Holloway, 
Haddonfield; J. J. Kauffin, Lansdale; W. Clegg, Meadow 
Spring; Harry Fisher, Clearview, and T. E. Doremus, 
Du Pont. The directors are also to constitute the trophy 
and rules committee, on which the president, vice-presi¬ 
dent and secretary-treasurer are to act. T. E. Hinck- 
son, of the S. S. Whites, was appointed to draw up a 
schedule and to present the same at the next meeting of 
the League. Those present at the conference were: 
Mardin and Clegg, of Meadow Spring; Pratt, Severn 
and Watson, of the Whites; Fisher and Peyre-Ferry, of 
Clearview; Soistman and Hineline, of South End; 
Schwartz, of Lansdale; Bennett, Shreve and Anthony, 
of Haddonfield; Doremus, of Du Pont, while W. E. 
Robinson represented Highland by proxy. The shoot¬ 
ing season opens the first Saturday in November, regu¬ 
lar shoots being held on the first Saturday of each 
month, with the exception of October, when the first 
and last Saturdays will be shooting days, the last Sat¬ 
urday taking the place of the November shoot; the 
change being made because of the opening of the hunt¬ 
ing season.

Minnesota State Tournament. 
Duluth, Minn., July 22.—With thirty-seven entries 
and fine weather the State tournament came to a suc¬ 
cessful close here to-day, with a number of good scores, 
which meant for competition. Among the high men for 
first, S. A. Huntley won with 293 out of 300. J. P. 
White smoked out F. F. Slocum on the second day, 
after breaking even, with 142 on the opening day. His 
final was 288, while Slocum fell down with 284. It was 
pretty shooting at every stage of the game between 
the five high men. H. G. Taylor, took high pro., 
snuffing 289.

Carthage Gun Club. 
Carthage, N. Y., July 23.—The first shoot of the 
Carthage Gun Club, on their new grounds, was run off 
successfully yesterday, with fifteen shooters, among 
them visitors from Gouverneur and Watertown. 
The traps and grounds were in fine condition, but the 
puffy cross-wind raised hob with the birds, encouraging 
them into unknown shoots and twists, which added to 
unknown angles, made every shooter pull center on 
every clay. Under given conditions, the scores were 
exceptionally good. L. Patrick, of Gouverneur, took 
first with 22 out of 25. His shooting form would have 
meant straight under good shooting conditions. His 
last 16 birds were straight. In the second string he 
made 21 out of 25. His third and fourth strings netted 
17 each, giving a total of 77 out of 100. Lawyer, of 
Watertown, got 69 for second, and Matterson, of Water- 
town, found 63 for third. Sweetman, of Carthage, was 
the big noise among the locals, with 51. Mr. Sweetman 
is a graceful shooter and capable of much better work, 
which he would undoubtedly have done on a fair gun day. 
With their finely equipped new grounds, it is safe to 
predict good scores among the locals from now on.

was second on the string, and high pro., with 144, losing 
two in event 8, and having five straights. Worthington 
won third money with 143. There were thirty shooters, 
only four of whom were trade experts.
