DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
F A. Trowbridge, Secretary, writes from Morristown, 
X J* under date of May 26, as follows: “The Morris 
Gun Club will hold an all-day programme shoot on 
Thursday, June IS.” 
At the Kentucky State shoot, held at Dayton, May 27 and 
28, Mr. II. Money made high professional average for 
the two days, breaking 388 out of 400; second, W. H. 
IJeer, 386; third, H. D. Freeman, 372. The champion¬ 
ship ’was won by Mr. T. Clay, with a score of 96. 
Messrs. Henderson and McFee were a tie for second 
on 92. 
**» 
At the shoot of the Boston Athletic Association, held 
at Riverside, May 30, the championship event was won 
by T. C. Adams, with a total of 133 out of 150. The 
contestants and their scores were as follows: Adams 
133, Dickey 129, Dr. Ellis 128, Howell 128, Fenno 126, 
Bean 123. Blinn 123, J. R. Gilman 118, Whitney 101, 
Todd 100. 
Mr. H. E. Buckwalter, who won the Pennsylvania 
State championship at targets on Thursday of last week 
at Bradford, scored a victory in a match at 100 live birds, 
shot at Pottsville, Pa., on May 30. He defeated W. T. 
Spiser, of Danvills, by a score of 97 to 95, for a purse of 
$500. Buckwalter made a finish of 47 birds straight. At 
Shamokin, Pa., on May 30, Messrs. John Kulp and 
Daniel Heitzman tied on 4 out of 7 live birds for a purse 
of $100. In the slioot-off at 10 birds, Heitzman won, 5 
to 4. Money seems to be plentiful in the coal regions. 
K 
There was an informal understanding, after the meet¬ 
ing of the Pennsylvania State Sportsmen’s Association, 
held at Bradford, last week, that the State shoot of 1909 
would be open to the world. Of course, the State 
shooters will have special trophy events reserved for 
themselves exclusively, but there will be ample sweep- 
stake competition for all comers. This is as it should 
be. Barring non-residents savors too much of protecting 
trapshooting as an industry, whereas, to make it properly 
successful and enjoyable, it must be run on broad lines 
of sport. 
K 
June will be a busy month in trapshooting matters. Of 
the great tournaments, the New Jersey State shoot was 
held this week. Next week, the Indiana State shoot, 
June 10-11, and the New York State shoot, June 10-12, 
will take place. In the following week, the great Indian 
tournament, June 16-19, at Sandusky, O., will be held. 
In the next week, June 23-26, the Grand American Han¬ 
dicap at Columbus, O., will be the rallying point for all 
shooters. Besides these, there are many other tourna¬ 
ments, as may be more specifically noted on reference to 
our trapshooting fixtures. 
The New York State Association should note that its 
State tournament next week will provide the last open 
shoot for the New York City Cup, emblematic of the 
State championship, and that a governing condition as 
to the final contest enjoins as follows: “The Association 
shall decide at its convention in that year (1908) what 
conditions shall govern the contest for the trophy at 
the State shoot in 1909, such contest to be between the 
previous winners of the cup for the absolute ownership 
FOREST AND STREAM. 
thereof. The only condition imposed by the donors of 
the trophy, affecting the final contest for the same, is 
that it must not be at less than 100 targets per man. 
* 
Silas H. Schoch, Secretary, writes, us: “The Selins 
Grove, Pa., Gun Club has made application for a reg¬ 
istered target tournament, to be held at Selins Grove, 
Pa., on Aug. 5 and 6. The club had registered a tour¬ 
nament for Aug. 11, but the date has been cancelled and 
the two-day shoot will take its place. The Squier money- 
back and Rose systems of money divisions will be used. 
About $50 high average money will be added, and a 
handsome trophy offered for the high professional aver¬ 
age. The programme will consist of 150 targets each 
day.” Further information can be secured by address¬ 
ing the Secretary. 
* 
The Pennsylvania State shoot, held at Bradford, May 
25-2S, was favored with pleasant weather. The high 
amateur averages for the three programme days were 
as follows: McCarty, 490; Buckwalter, 4S5; Wertz, 482; 
Hess, 478; Bilsing, 475; Moor, 474; Conneely, 471. The 
championship event, of which the Wolstencroft trophy 
is the emblem, was won by H. F. Buckwalter, of Royer- 
ford, Pa., after shooting off four ties, in the first of 
which were Buckwalter, McCarty, Bilsing and Korner. 
Buckwalter and McCarty remained to shoot off three 
more times, when Buckwalter won. On the first and 
second shoot-offs, they tied on 24 each. They broke 25 
straight in the third shoot-off. In the fourth shoot-off 
the scores were 25 to 24 in favor of Buckwalter, a total 
of 98 to 97, in the ties by Buckwalter and McCarty. A 
very delightful incident of the first day, May 26, was 
the congratulatory messages sent to Mrs. Will K. Park, 
former shooting editor of Sporting Life, in honor of her 
birthday. All the shooters present sent friendly greet¬ 
ings, which were graciously acknowledged by Mrs. 
Park, in a telegram to Mr. Bernard Elsesser, who acted 
as compiler of scores and won the gratitude of the cor¬ 
respondents present by his readiness to oblige them with 
copies. The different team events were closely con¬ 
tested. The Milt Lindsley trophy was tied for by the 
North Side Gun Club team, of Pittsburg and the Du 
Bois team. Du Bois won by default. The Harrisburg 
trophy was won by the Independent Gun Club three- 
man team No. 1, of Philadelphia. The Reading trophy 
was won by the North Side Gun Club four-man team. 
The first prize of the Bradford merchandise event was 
won by L. E. Mallory, Jr., after shooting off a tie on 
47 with Anderson, of Pittsburg. The next State shoot 
is to be held in Reading For this, there was close 
competition by Philadelphia, the votes being 43 to 37. 
The next live-bird shoot of the Association will be held 
at Harrisburg. The election of officers resulted as fol¬ 
lows: President, R. R. Bennett, Pittsburg; Vice-Presi¬ 
dent, F. M. Eames, Philadelphia; Treasurer, James H. 
Worden, Harrisburg; Secretary, J. F. Meehan, Phila¬ 
delphia. Directors, J. M. Runk, Chambersburg; Karl 
Steward, Harrisburg; D. Edgar Hickey, Millvale; John 
S. Speer, St. Mary’s, and C. F. Kramlich, Allentown. 
Some excellent action and organization were taken for a 
more comprehensive and energetic enforcement of the 
game laws _ ...

New York State Shoot. 
Elmira, N. Y.—Since the programme for the New 
York State shoot on June 10, 11 and 12, was issued, the 
merchandise list for the Golden Jubilee Handicap has 
been added to, making this rarely valuable event even 
better. If the shooters have not done so, they will do 
well to compare this list with that offered at former big 
tournaments, and the Elmira Association can look on 
with the satisfaction of knowing how it will compare. 
While at first thought, Elmira may seem to be on the 
extreme border of the State, still it is found to be as 
favorably located for reaching quickly as any town in 
the State. From New York city and vicinity, through- 
trains, via either the D., L. & W. or Erie, will land the- 
passengers at the shoot in a few hours; or the Lehigh 
\ alley, with a change of cars at Sayre, can be taken. 
Buffalo is but a trifle over three hours away, with 
splendid service, and all the cities through central New 
York to Albany and Troy are equally well located. 
Inquiries from shooters who have never attended the 
State shoots, as well as from many who had dropped 
out of the game, show that attendance will be large; 
the interest throughout the State is very marked. 
Mr. Luther Squier will b'e in charge of the cashier’s 
office, and the attention of Mr. Charles North means 
that everything on the grounds will run smoothly. The 
presence of these two veterans means an advertisement 
for any tournament, for making the services as near 
perfection as possible. 
Don’t let disagreeable weather keep any one away, for 
ample protection will be affordedd the shooters. 
S. C. Andrews, 
Chairman 1908 Tournament Com. 
The Cleveland. O., Gun Club May day tournament, 
May 29 and 30, has come and gone, and in one way, it 
was a grand success. We had with us some of the 
greatest shots in the land, Mr. R. O. Heikes, C. A. 
Young, A. M. Hatcher, D. D. Gross, Tom Marshall, C. 
Powers, R. L. Trimble, and H. D. Freeman. We want 
to extend our thanks to these gentlemen and say to them 
that we hope to see them all again. 
We were in hopes of seeing some of our brother 
shooters from the middle part of the State, but it s the 
old story, “We will come the next time ; but we will 
forgive them this time and help to make these shoots a 
success, as we know they have some work to do. 
Atlantic City Gun Club. 
Atlantic City, N. J., May 25. —At the shoot. May 
23, event 1 (shot on May 8), was for the A. H. Fox gun, 
19yds. rise, use of both barrels. Shinn won out with a 
score of 42. Event 2 was also for the Fox gun, shot 
to-day. Dumas was an easy winner with the great 
score of 46. He is getting in trim for the registered 
shoot of the Chelsea Gun Club, to be held here on 
Monday, June 8. 
Orleman says he sure will get back in shape if he 
ever gets his new hammerless trap pump gun.
