DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The tournament of the Freehold (N. J.) Gun Club on 
Wednesday, March 15, will be held on the club grounds, 
commencing at 1 o’clock. There will be twelve 15-target 
events, entrance $1 each, class shooting, money divided 
4'0, 30, 20, 10. All standard makes of shells are procur¬ 
able on the grounds. Maltby W. Conover is the secre¬ 
tary. 
The “First International Indoor Trapshooting Tourna¬ 
ment and Sportsmen’s Exhibition”—the title given it by 
the directors—opened at 2 o’clock on Tuesday last, the 
7th, and will continue until next Monday night, the 13th. 
As Forest and Stream goes to press on Tuesday, we 
will be unable to print any of the results until next 
issue. Manager Luther J. Squier states that the pro¬ 
gram has aroused much interest among the trapshooting' 
fraternity, and the indications are that the championship 
emblem will be eagerly sought for and hotly contested. 
Annie Oakley will give daily exhibitions of her skill with 
the shotgun, at 4 and 8 P. M. 
K 
In the distance handicap shoot during 1911 of the 
Buffalo Gun Club there will be two valuable guns as 
first and second prizes. Conditions governing are: 25 
target events; members to shoot in Classes A, B and C. 
Class A shoot from 18yds., after one win from 19yds., 
after two wins from 20yds., finishing contest at that dis¬ 
tance. Class B shoot from 17yds., and Class C from 
16yds., with the added handicaps as in Class A. Ties 
shot off same day at 25 targets at the class handicap. 
To be eligible, members must shoot in at least 50 per 
cent, of the regular shoots for the year. Entrance fee 
$1, exclusive of targets. Entries close May 1. Inter¬ 
state Association target rules to govern. The club also 
provides a silver cup for each of the three classes, to be 
contested for in the regular shoots for the year. The 
classes that the members are placed in by the handicap 
committee on Jan. 1 shall hold good for the year. Con¬ 
test at 25 targets from 16yd. mark; ties at 25 singles. 
Most number of wins in each class takes the cup. Inter¬ 
state rules govern. The shooting dates of the club are 
the second and fourth Sundays of each month except 
July, August and September, when the shoot occurs on 
the fourth Sunday only. 
Funeral of Bernard Waters. 
The funeral services over the remains of Bernard 
Waters, long shooting editor of Forest and Stream, 
were held in New York on Wednesday, March 1, at 11 
o’clock, and were attended by a large number of his 
old friends and associates. 
Later in the day half a dozen men, including Messrs. 
Edward Banks and Branch, of the Du Pont Co.; Elmer 
E. Shaner, of the Interstate Association, and three men 
long associated with Mr. Waters on Forest and Stream, 
accompanied the remains to Kensico Cemetery, and saw 
their old friend laid away for his last sleep. 
He lies in a beautiful spot on a hilltop overlooking the 
winding valley of the Bronx and the wooded hills on 
either side, a spot where a lover of nature and the out- 
of-doors might well love to linger. 
Audubon Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., March 5.—George N. Fish, the Lyn- 
donville thresher, showed his superiority over the mem¬ 
bers of the Audubon Gun Club by being high gun of 
the day at yesterday’s shoot. His shooting was simply 
phenomenal, taking into consideration that he used a 
brand new gun, taken from the store, and with no prac¬ 
tice whatever broke 138 out of 150. Some of them were 
shot from the 20yd. mark in the strong wind which pre¬ 
vailed. 
Fish won the Reed trophy and also the first leg on 
the challenge cup, a new contest, which was proposed 
by Mr. Covert and immediately started. In this event 
Fish broke 48 out of 50. Jack Talcott was runner-up 
with 43. . 
W. H. Smith started off like a whirlwind, breaking 39 
in the first two events and winning Class A with a 
straight, which he needed in order to beat Hopper's 19. 
Dr. Burke and Imhoff were finally beaten in their re¬ 
spective classes, and former Field Captain Suckow did 
the trick in Class B, and Renn Spalding in Class C. 
Preparations are already under way to hold a big 
open shoot on Decoration Day. Interstate rules will 
govern. Scores:

Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., March 4'.—Lieut. K. A. Joyce was high 
gun this afternoon at the traps, breaking 81 out of 100. 
It was very windy and cold, hence such poor scores. 
Guy Smith won a point on the Dupont trophy, after 
tying with Joyce on the shoot-off.. 
The Columbus boys are wondering what has become 
of the bunch of 90 per cent, shooters from the City on 
the Lake; they promised a return match last April. Well, 
I suppose the team has not come out of their winter 
quarters yet. Hope to hear from them some time. 
The program for St. Patrick’s day shoot will call for 
200 targets, shot in strings of 15 and 20; entrance $21 for 
the day on the money-back plan; purses divided 40, 30, 
20, 10; all surplus divided the same way. We hope to 
have a team of ten men from Circleville to shoot a team 
race, 50 birds per man. This will decide the tie, each 
team having a win. 
The Shepherd Gun Club, a new club, just starting up, 
promises to be a hummer. The club is made up of a 
nice lot of fellows, all from the east side. The Col¬ 
umbus Gun Club wishes them success.

Philadelphia, Feb. 26.—A fine field of gunners at¬ 
tended the prize shoot of the club at the grounds yes¬ 
terday, with E. B. Garrett the final winner after three 
shoot-offs. The conditions called for 50 targets, with a 
distance and dead bird added handicap, with ail scores 
of 50 or over to shoot in extra events until the winner 
was decided. Nine men reached the 50-bird mark, but 
only seven were eligible to compete for the merchandise

March 5.—Indications point to a record-breaking at¬ 
tendance at Fifty-seventh and Lancaster avenue next 
Saturday afternoon, March 11. On that day every de¬ 
voted member of the Meadow Springs Gun Club pins 
his faith and ability to be on hand to help celebrate the 
annual shoot of the club and to participate in the ban¬ 
quet, which will be held in the evening at Odd Fellows’ 
Hall, 5015 Lancaster avenue. Following the dinner, the 
annual election of the club will be held. 
The program for the shoot is 100 targets, sliding dis¬ 
tance and dead-bird-added handicap, with $25 donated 
in prizes, being divided up in five donations. At the 
meeting, in addition to electing new officers for the 
year, many new amendments to the present club’s rules 
are to be made, adjusting of the handicaps, presenta¬ 
tion of prizes for the year and other matters of much 
importance are to be acted upon.

ship of the handsome trophy offered by Capt. H. W.

past month, and the two marksmen each finished the 
series with 86 per cent, apiece. The shoot-off was de¬ 
cided yesterday and was won by Suydam by the score 
of S3 to 80 out of a possible 100 targets. The Bergen 
Beach nimrods also started a new sliding distance handi¬ 
cap. The best work was done by J. Gaughan, who
