DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Hercules Gun Club, of Temple, Pa., will hold a 
target shoot on its grounds, “Cotopaxi Swamp,” on 
March 18. Eight events will be run off: One 10-target, 
entrance 60 cents; six 15-target, entrance $1.15, and one 
25-target event, entrance $1.50. Money divided 40, 30, 20 
and 10 per cent. All shoot from 16yds. Targets thrown 
about 50yds., at one cent in amateur events. No shoot¬ 
ing up after fourth event. Professionals and trade repre¬ 
sentatives can shoot for price of targets, 2 cents each. 
Events 6, 7 and 8 (45 targets) will constitute the trophy 
contest, entrance 50 cents, and first, second and third 
high guns will be awarded the Parker, Hunter and 
Western trophy, respectively. 
Secretary J. A. Norton, of the Hudson Valley Rod 
and Gun Club, Glens Falls, N. Y., writes: “On Satur¬ 
day, April 29, the club will hold its fifth annual 
registered trapshooting tournament, at its grounds be¬ 
tween Glens Falls and Hudson Falls. The tournament 
will be conducted under the rules of the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation, the Squier money-back system being employed. 
Programs will be mailed shortly to all vicinity sports¬ 
men, *or will be sent on request. The club is affiliated 
with the New York State Sportsmen’s Association and 
the National Rifle Association of America. The rifle 
range at Glens Falls will open as early as the weather 
permits for weekly practice.” 
The various trapshooting clubs of San Francisco and 
the Bay towns are preparing for the opening of the sea¬ 
son at an early date, and will shortly be able to make 
public the schedules for the coming year. Most of the 
San Francisco trapshooters are now compelled to come 
across the Bay to enjoy this sport, as their former 
grounds in the Ingleside district have become too valu¬ 
able to be retained for this purpose. New grounds were 
established at Stege last year, and these will be in fine 
shape for the coming season. The live-bird shooters 
also hold their tournaments across the Bay, and are 
preparing for an active season. Great interest is now 
being shown in the local trapshooting clubs, .and mem¬ 
bership is growing rapidly, many joining in anticipa¬ 
tion of great sport during the Panama-Pacific Inter¬ 
national Exposition in 1915, when some great meets will 
probably be arranged.

Executive Committeeman Reginald H. Sayre writes: 
“The indoor championships of the United States Re¬ 
volver Association will be held in this city on the 
evenings of March 22, 23, 24, and 25, beginning at 8 
o’clock, in the gallery recently opened at 205 Lexington 
avenue. This gallery is a vast improvement on any¬ 
thing which has yet been offered to the shooting public 
in this country, an old stable having been altered so as 
to provide eight ranges level with the street, with a 
mezzanine gallery containing seven firing points, and 
locker room, and meeting room for clubs which use the 
building, and administration offices. Being situated 
within two blocks of the crosstown cars at Thirty-fourth 
street, and a block from the Subway at Thirty-third 
street, the location is extremely convenient, and I trust 
that the gallery will receive the encouragement of all 
who are interested in revolver shooting.” 
Regrets for Mr. Waters. 
Toronto, Ont., March 8 .—Editor Forest and Stream: 
We are enclosing you two copies of a resolution passed 
at a meeting of the Canadian Indians, held here last

great friend of the trapshooters of all parts of the 
American continent. 
Will you please insert this resolution in your paper 
and also forward a copy to the relatives of our late 
friend. Court Thompson,

Waters, editor of the Trap Department, desire to place 
on record their sincere sympathy with the relatives and 
friends of the deceased.

Los Angeles Gun Club. 
Sportsmen of Los Angeles, Cal., finally have gotten 
together and organized what promises to be the liveliest 
trapshooting club in the Southwest. For several years 
inanimate target shooting has been moribund in the 
Southern California metropolis, but through the efforts 
of A. W. Bruner, some 125 charter members -were pledged 
to the formation of a club. The organization meeting 
found most of these shooters present, and it was ob¬ 
served they were recruited mostly from men whose names 
are new to the sport in the southwest, although many 
of them were celebrated exponents of the gentle art in 
the East. A. W. Bruner was elected President; Dr. C, 
P. Thomas, Vice-President: C. Walter Clement, Secre¬ 
tary, and Sam. R. Smith, Treasurer. Bruner and Smith 
are old Los Angeles Gun Club men. and so is Charles 
Van Valkenburg. a director,, who was for years the sec¬ 
retary of the old club. Besides the men named, H. H. 
West, H. G. Krohn and C. Modini Wood are directors. 
Grounds were secured at Venice, where a large ten- 
acre athletic park, fitted with club house, grand-stands, 
and completely enclosed with an 8-foot board fence, of¬ 
fered ideal arrangements. Two traps will be installed be¬ 
hind cement bulkheads, sloping back to the score, ex¬ 
posed to the northeast. The grounds will be ready for 
occupancy immediately. Birds will be thrown to mem¬ 
bers at 1% cent each, with 2 cents charged non-members. 
The grounds are right on the car line. Good service is 
available, the grounds being about twenty-five minutes’ 
ride from town. 
The club is affiliated with the Interstate Association 
and expects to pull off the Pacific Coast Handicap this 
season. This fixture already has been applied for. 
Edwin L. Hedderly. 
Trap at Palm Beach. 
Palm Beach, Fla., March 8.—Lynford Biddle, of Phil¬ 
adelphia, won the E. H. Fitler cup at the Florida Gun 
Club to-day with 15 straight kills at 29yds., rise. The 
event was a 15-bird handicap. L. B. Hutchinson, New 
York, 27yds., was second with 14, and Roy C. Brabb, 
Detroit, 28vds., third with 13. Other scores were: E. FI. 
Fitler. Philadelphia, 30yds., 12; J. P. Knapp, New York, 
32yds.. 12; F. A. Potts. Lakewood, 32yds., 11; A. W. 
Church, New York, 27yds., 12, and Jay Cooke 3d, 
Philadelphia, 27yds., 12. 
March 10.—Live-bird shooting was the order of the 
day. Messrs. Lawrence Waterbury, of New York, and 
Lynford Biddle, of Philadelphia, each presented a cup 
for competition. Howard Brokaw, of New York, won 
the Biddle trophy. The latter is a 25-bird handicap, and 
the scores were: Brokaw (31yds.) 24, Biddle (30) 23, J. P. 
Knapp (30) 22, E. H. Fitler (30) 22, R. C. Brabb (29) 21, 
Waterbury (22) 21. 
The Waterbury trophy was for 15 birds, and both 
Messrs. Waterbury and Biddle tied on 15. Both con¬ 
tinued with perfect scores through two shoot-offs of 3 
birds each, and the match was then called by the referee 
because of darkness. 
The Fred Macaulay Business Men’s Gun Club. 
Newark, N. J., March 8. —B. F. Shanley, Jr., was high 
average gunner at the Fred Macaulay Business Men’s 
Gun Club meeting at the Speedway traps yesterday. 
Fred Macaulay was second high average, and Joseph J. 
Quinn was third. The snow, mud and slush made it 
impossible almost to reach the traps _ of the shooting 
grounds without an automobile or a rig of some kind. 
Those who ventured, however, had a very enjoyable 
afternoon. The wind blew a gale across the traps, mak¬ 
ing the white fliers do some funny stunts, and making 
accurate shooting impossible. . 
The club is making preparations for a fox chase, if it 
is possible at all to procure a wild fox, for next Tues¬ 
day’s shoot, after which there will be a big sweepstake 
shoot, and March 17 (St. Patrick’s day) a shoot for a 
number of prizes donated by members of the club, will 
be shot for. 
A meeting of the club members will be held at the 
Speedway Inn, Tuesday night, and all members have 
been requested to attend. It will be just one year next 
Tuesday since the organization of the club. 
Smokeless.
