DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Some time in April, the Pine Hill Gun Club, of 
Albany, N. Y., will open its spring season with its second 
Tri-County tournament. 
#► 
At the shoot of the Frenchtown, N. J., Gun Club, 
March 21, Mr. Lester S. German, of Aberdeen, Md., 
was high professional with a total of 191 out of 260. Mr. 
A. Ballantine was high amateur with 174. 
•t 
Corresponding Secretary R. S. Pringle, Bradford, Pa., 
advises us that the programme of the Pennsylvania 
State Sportsmen’s Association tournament will be ready 
for mailing in the near future, and that those desiring 
copies should address him. 
Secretary Plarry W. Denny has sent out notices to the 
stockholders of the Indianapolis, Ind., Gun Club, that 
the annual meeting will be held on April 7, at 7:30 
o’clock P. M., in the assembly room of the Commercial 
Club, 28 S. Meridian street. 
Secretary A. H. Sheppard, Atlantic City, N. J., writes 
us as follows: “We have lately formed a new gun 
club in this city, known as the Atlantic City Gun Club. 
We hold an all-day shoot on Easter Monday, April 20, 
which is to be a registered event.” 
The secon'd contest, of the home-and-home matches, be¬ 
tween teams of the Crescent Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, 
N. Y., and the Boston Athletic Association was shot at 
Riverside, the grounds of the latter club, on March 21. 
The Crescent eight-man team won by a score of 660 to 623. 
The Crescent team also won the first contest. 
The Yale team defeated the team of the Crescent 
Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, in their team contest on 
Yale Field, New Flaven, Conn., March 20. The totals 
were: Yale 402, Crescents 398. Mr. F. G. Stephenson, 
of the Crescents, made high individual score, 88. 
Trudeau, of Yale, was high on his team with a score 
The Midland Gun Club, of Maywood, N. J., defeated 
the North Side Rod and Gun Club, March 21, in a five- 
man team contest, 95 to 88. The North Side Club has 
nearly completed its preparation for its all-day shoot, to 
be held on Decoration Day, at Paterson, N. J. The 
programme will be ready in the near future. 
The team of the Chester-Ridley Gun Club, of Chester, 
Pa., was defeated by the Du Pont team, on the Wilming¬ 
ton Country Club grounds, March 21—383 to 343. The 
members and individual scores were as follows: Du 
Pont Club—A Du Pont 44, Lindsey 34, L. Du Pont 39, 
V. Du Pont 41, Rumford 41, Porter 40, V. Du Pont, Jr., 
40, Smith 33, Farraday 32, Skelly 39. Chester-Ridley— 
Hemlin 38, Gnswell 39, Hoffman 35, B. Ladomus 35, 
Lawton 37, J. Ladomus 36, Little 36, Shattuck 37, Mc¬ 
Collum 29, Dorpe 21. 
Mr. Frank Lawrence, of the Winchester Repeating 
Arms Co., returned to New York last week after a long 
and successful trip through the South in the interests 
of his company. He reports game abundant in some 
sections, and recounted some dove shoots in which the 
hag numbered thousands, and the shooters numbered 
hundreds. 
The Morris Gun Club, of Morristown, N. J., an¬ 
nounces an all-day open shoot for April 9. A team match 
with the Bernardsville Gun Club will be an interesting 
feature. The Secretary is Mr. F. A. Trowbridge. At 
the club shoot on March 19, Dr. Betts scored a leg on 
the Du Pont cup by breaking 24 out of 25, an excellent 
performance. Three wins by one party constitute own¬ 
ership. 
K 
The Montclair, N. J., Gun Club seven-man team de¬ 
feated teams of the Orange, N. J., Gun Club, and the 
Wykagil Country Club of New Rochelle, N. Y., March 
21. The scores were 151, 143 and 140, the Orange team 
being second. There were five programme events also, 
for gold trophies. Forty-six contestants took part, and 
over 5,000 targets were thrown. 
It 
In the annual gun club championship, for the Country 
Club cup, at Pinehurst, N. C., March 21, C. A. Lock- 
wood, of New York, was high with 165 out of 200 targets 
from the 19yds. mark. Second, David T. Leahy, of New 
York, 152. Third, C. Crompton, Worcester (19yds.) 148. 
Third, R. Hager, Jr., of New York (16yds.), 130. L. C. 
Hopkins, of New York (16yds.), 116. John Philip Sousa, 
of New York (16yds.), 100. It seems to have been over¬ 
looked that a handicap cannot be a championship. 
* 
As the large number of this year’s tournament an¬ 
nouncements, published weekly in the Trap columns of 
Forest and Stream, require such an unprecedented 
amount of space if legularly published in full, we deem it 
necessary to limit them to the two months subsequent to 
each issue of Forest and Stream. A list of shoots sixty 
days ahead should afford ample data for shooters whereby 
to arrange their itinerary. Mr. Seneca Lewis’ registration 
idea for the promotion of tournaments seems to have 
precipitated an avalanche of shooting events. 
Keep in mind that, at Montclair, N. J., the second 
annual individual championship of Metropolitan clubs 
will take place on Wednesday of next week. Competition 
is open to all amateurs, members of clubs located within 
seventy-five miles of New York. Conditions, 100 targets, 
scratch, $2 entrance, targets included. Prizes, three cups, 
now on exhibition at Schoverling, Daly & Gales, 302-304 
Broadway, New York. If five or more clubs are repre¬ 
sented by at least five men each, a cup will be awarded 
to the club whose representative squad shall make the 
highest score. Each club may enter as many men as it 
choses, the five highest scores to count. The Moffett 
cup is for two-man teams, the members of which are to 
be designated before they begin shooting by one in 
authority to speak for their club. Shooting begins at 
9 o’clock. Shells for sale on the grounds. Write to 
Secretary Edward Winslow, Montclair, N. J., for pro¬ 
gramme. Besides all details of shooting, it gives minute 
information concerning transportation. 
Bernard Waters. 
Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O. —The rank and file of the little regiment 
of shooters who attended the Saturday shoot, all agreed 
that the v/eather as handed out was just about the right 
thing to tickle the right spot, and get the men of 
scatter-gun inclination started with the fever, to the 
extent that they dig up the old “Johnston iron” and 
apply a small coat of oil, whether it needs it qr not, and 
forthwith proceed to meander in the direction of the 
“blue rock” grounds and see how nicely they can call 
“Pull.” Did you ever sit down and listen to the great 
variety and peculiar way the different shooters call 
“Pull’’? The newsboy, with his Dispatch Evening News 
and special extra, does not compare with it, and for 
attitude and picturesque pose, the various gun clubs 
in all the little towns, and the big ones as well, have a 
few' that the cartoon artist would travel far to sketch. 
All these little things help to intensify the interest and 
make it a pleasure to be about a shooting ground, and 
outside of the comical side of the game, the associations 
are most pleasant, and when it comes to shooting a 
gun, with real powder and shot, and try to beat some 
other fellow shooting, you simply lose yourself, forget 
your troubles, if you have any, and accomplish that 
which is intended by the all-wise Creator, diversion and 
rest from toil, which make you better and more suited 
to endure the strain. A little fresh air, and sunshine, 
and a gun and some powder and shot were made to help 
mankind, and they have helped him ever since their 
first inception. We therefore advise everybody to buy 
a gun, and learn to shoot, and quit taking patent 
medicine. The former is better for your nerves, appetite 
and general constitution. * 
It was remarked that our good friend Chamberlain 
had a very hard hitting streak attached to his make-up 
on Saturday afternoon, and the proof of which is ap¬ 
parent in the winning the Hunter Arms Co. trophy, con¬ 
sisting of 30 singles and 10 pair of doubles, also the 
Secretary silver cup, high for the day. Herr Chamber- 
lain is a very valuable man to the Columbus Gun Club, 
and we hereby serve notice that we intend to keep him 
right here. 
Wm. Webster has just been having his gun doctored 
up a trifle, and he was finding them in fine shape, in¬ 
cluding two 20 straights, which is proof that the “gun 
doctor” did not give his favorite an over dose, as doctors 
sometimes do. 
Frank Hall the gun store man: Fred Le Noir, the 
dead shot man, and Fred Shattuck, the gun club man, 
all made their appearance in the historic city of Dublin. 
Ohio, Tuesday, March 17, the occasion being the long 
postponed shoot of the Dublin Gun Club. They inci¬ 
dentally took a few lessons on “where to hold” from 
the Dublin boys, as they were fortunate in being able 
to secure .some of the first copies of Harry Bears’ latest 
publication, and had lost no time in reading up on all . 
the essential points. The Columbus contingent have all 
placed an order for a copy with the agent Mr. Ora 
Shilling. 
Mr. Cooper, of Thornville, Ohio, who won the first 
high amateur at our March tournament, came in and 
took another sight over the traps, with which he is be¬ 
coming noticeably familiar. 
Mr. Shatford and Ben Bolin had quite a lengthy argu¬ 
ment on the shooting question, and after a number of 
races, had not only entirely decided the question, owing 
to the absence of Frank Hall and Doctor Van Fossen, so 
it will be continued under sliding handicap ideas. 
Frank Burris just came over from the lake with some 
ducks and broke some good scores in the first events 
and the two sweeps; then he said the duck appetite was 
getting the best of him and he must go, and would not 
miss-fire on that table. 
Harry Smith recommends the open air tonic, and says 
that when he had figures that he was alone in the 24 
hole in the 19yds. contest, and found that Chesterfield 
Chamberlain had gone him one better and made 25 
straight, that the jar was scarcely perceptible, owing to 
the fact that after spending an afternoon in the pure 
Arlington air, one could, stand for any kind of a shock. 
W. V. Baker is again trying to get into the game, and 
it is hoped nothing will happen this time to interfere 
with his getting some good practice as he was just 
getting in fine shape last fall, when winter came on. 
Mr. Menninger was out to the shoot as a guest of 
Frank Hall, and his impression was so good that he 
will soon join the club. 
Joe Wells is getting ready to win the Grand American, 
and it would assuredly tickle the boys to see him do it. 
Some of the Columbus boys ought to win it—why not 
Joe? 
Ned Reece is doing mighty fine for the short time he 
has been shooting and with a little more practice will 
set a good pace. 
Mr. Snook tried 50 with the shot gun, and says it’s fine 
He broke them fine. It seems to come natural with him. 
Uncle Stanley Rhoads will, it is said, experience a 
very strange feeling, as it has been learned that a por¬ 
tion of the day force, of the Kentucky night riders, that 
are not overly busy at present, have been engaged by 
certain Columbus gentlemen to kidnap Uncle Stan in 
broad daylight and bring him to the gun club.

Bradford Gun Club. 
Bradford, Pa., March 21.—The Pennsylvania State 
Sportsmen’s Association shoot will be held at Bradford, 
Pa., this year, on May 25-28, and the Bradford Gun Club 
expect to make this the biggest and best State shoot 
that has been pulled off for some time, and we feel 
that w'e will be able to do this, as the shooters are send¬ 
ing in their names for programmes every day, and the 
only thing that we ask is good weather. 
The programmes will be ready for mailing in the near 
future, and anv one wanting them should address R. S. 
Pringle, Bradford, Pa. This will be a shoot for all 
classes of shooters, as you are sure of your money back, 
less the price of targets, in case you shoot the pro¬ 
gramme through. 
The following are the scores for to-day’s shoot:
