towns were present. W. D. Stannard was high profes- 
sional, and Alex. Anderson for the amateurs. The 
purses were divided on the Jack Rabbit plan, and gave 
good satisfaction. It is proposed to build a club house 
and improve the grounds during the spring, and hold 
large tournaments. Scores, 100 targets: W. . Stan- 
nard 83, R. J. Bruce 69, John Pitts 68, A. H. Ganis 65, 
Fred Sheek 52, Alex. Anderson 78, John Stetson 59. 
Other scores were: A. Smith (42) 20, E. Giffert (20) 9, 
J. Kittering (50) 21, C. Ford (20) 10, H. Graham (40) 29, 
M. S. New (61) 40, H. Clark (40) 16, J. Lewis (60) 32, 
R. S. Lannon (50) 35, W. Pitts (10) 4, H. Fiedt (70) 388, 
W. A. Clay (80) 15, C. Stoll (20) 8. 
The shooters at Lower City, Pa., are getting excited 
over two.matches that will come off between Wm. 
Lemke and Joseph Schlottman, of Donaldson. Each 
will be at 15 birds, $100 a side. © 
We believe they called it “hit and miss’ when the 
Lincoln and Missouri clubs met at Walnut, Ia., and 
held a match. We leave the reader to judge as to scores. 
Here they are, 25 targets each: Lincoln Club—James 
Carr 16, Chas. Brown 16, Rollin Wilson 16, Andrew 
Schuttloffel 18, Andy Schuttloffel, Sr., 18, Willie Fred- 
erickson 25. Missouri Gun Club—Fred Hansen 14, Emil 
Reimer 13, Rudolph Stamp 12, Wm. Reimer 12, John 
Thompson 11, Hugo Newman 7. , 
1906 trapshooting was to open the coming Sunday at 
the grounds of the Badger Gun Club, near Janesville, 
Wis., but it is possible the big snow was a hindrance. 
The club will endeavor to hold weekly shoots until the 
“‘snow flies’ again. A business meeting will be held, and 
the necessary enthusiasm will be infused. 
It is thought that there will be something done in the 
shooting line this year in the town of Moline, Ill.- If 
Charley Stevens will take it up there will be a go surely. 
Secretary of the Hamilton, Can., Gun Club reports a 
large attendance at the last business meeting. A new 
quick-set trap will be placed on the park and all are 
anxious to test the same. There is to be a match with 
the Toronto Club. 
Audubon, Ia., was the scene of a trap shoot last 
Wednesday. Shooters were present from Brayton, Exira, 
and Gray; Vermilyea, Hart. Petley and Wilson tied 
on 23 and 25. Mr. Petty won on shoot-off. Shooting at 
65 targets, Vermilyea broke 61, Hart 59, Anderson 58, 
Petty 57, Brooks 55, C. Talbot 54, Wilson 58, Knox 52, 
Riley 51, Ross 50, Van Gorder 48, Smith 31, Hoegh 46, 
Frederickson 41, Adams 41, Larson 40, Boik 31, R. Tal- 
bott 31, Ruhs 32, Olsen 23, Brockway 15, Acheltree 11. 
Trapshooting will begin about the first of March at 
Fresno, Cal. It is said that nothing definite concerning 
arrangements for the seasen will be known until the 
club hoids their first meeting. 
The Anaconda, Mont., shooters—Matthewson, Hasley, 
Drumgoole, Stevens, Nell and Sullivan—went to Butte 
on Sunday and were beaten in a team shoot by two 
targets. Confarr won his own medal and Smith won the 
Twohy medal. 
Oscar Brandt, a local shot at Salem, Ore., surprised all 
his friends by making a score of 24 out of 25 on a trial, 
when the boys met on last Sunday. This rather beats 
the amateur records for that part of the country. 
Instead of “Casey at the bat,” it will be boys to the 
score at Casey, Ia., as a new gun club has been organized 
at that town. 
At Lake Park, Ia., the shooters are getting in line and 
holding shoots regularly. 
The fourth monthly shoot held by the shooters of 
Butte and Anaconda, Mont., was a good one, as to 
weather and attendance. At 100 singles, Drumgoole 
broke 25, 23, 28, 23; Matthewson 23, 23, 22, 19; Nell 
21, 25, 22, 22> Confarr 23, 25, 25, 21; Cowan 25, 24; 25,221; 
Goddard 24, 25, 25, 25; Wetmore 25, 25, 24, 24, C. Wet- 
more 25, 23, 25, 25; Sullivan 24, 24, 20, 25; Hogan 25, 25, 
20, 23; Killen 28, 24, 25, 28; Morley 24, 25, 22, 21; Smith 
25, 25, 25, 25. Twohy medal: Smith 25, Confarr 23, 
Drumgoole 21, Cowan 21, Morley 20, Walker 21, Nickey 
20, Sullivan 17. 
Well-Known Trapshooters. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hood fWaters. 
In this issue of Forest AND STREAM we take much 
pleasure in presenting excellent portraits of Mr. and 
Mrs. Hood Waters, of Baltimore, Md. As is well 
known, Mr. Hood Waters is one of the most famous, 
skillful and popular shooters of America. Through a 
mumber of years past he has ably represented the Laflin 
& Rand Powder Co., his itinerary taking him to and 
fro in the land betimes, as far West as the Pacific Coast, 
betimes North or South, successfully exploiting ‘“In- 
fallible.”’ Thus his list of friends and acquaintances is 
continental in its scope. 
Mr. Waters is of symmetrical, athletic build, and, in- 
deed, is an accomplished athlete in fact as well as in 
appearance, though gentle in nature, with the grace of 
speech and urbanity of manner characteristic of the 
Southern gentleman everywhere. The Waters family 
of Maryland and Virginie is of the first families, holding 
high place, past and present, in matters military, pro- 
fessional, governmental and social, with a genealogy 
extending far back into past centuries, to the times of 
the fierce struggle between the houses of York and 
Lancaster, historically known as “The War of the 
Roses.”’ Recently, we happened to come across some 
articles in the Baltimore Sun, by Emily Emerson Lantz, 
entitled “Maryland Heraldry,” in which was succinctly 
traced the branches of the family, from feudal times 
down to the present day. Though tersely written, the 
genealogy fills between four and five columns of space, 
all interesting, but of it we present only an excerpt, which 
harks back into far centuries, as follows: 
““Arms—Sable, on a fesse wavy, ar., 
swans of the second; two bars wavy, az. 
“Crest—A demi-talbot, ar.; in the mouth 
gules. ; 
*“Motto—Toujours fidéle. 
“These are the arms, crest and motto borne by the 
Waters family that included the York herald at the time 
of Richard II. 
between three 
an arrow, 

MR. HOOD WATERS. 
“The early history of the Waters family of England, 
Maryland and Virginia is traced back to the little town 
of Middleham, Yorkshire, England, noted chiefly for 
Middleham Castle, called ‘the fairest castle of Rich- 
mondshire,’ where the white roses of the York faction 
nodded defiance to the red roses of Lancaster during the 
historic war of the Roses. 
“The fortress-castle was built by Robert Fitz-Ralph, 
upon whom all Wensleydale was béstowed by Conan le 
Petit, Earl of Brittany and Richmond. It was after- 
ward the seat of the Earl of Salisbury, father of the 

MRS. MARGARET WATERS. 
great Earl of Warwick. In 1467 King Edward IV. was 
committed to this castle by the Earl of Warwick, whence 
the King had the good fortune to escape. He was al- 
lowed, though a prisoner, the privilege of hunting, and 
a fleet horse carried him, while on a hunting expedition, 
to York and thence to Lancaster, where he resumed 
the reins of government. King Richard III. frequently 
resided here, and in this fortress his son Edward was 
born. Falconbridge is said to have been beheaded in 
the castle in 1741. 
“James Methold Waters is said to have married the 
granddaughter of Edward III. of England, and John 
Waters, grandson of James Methold Waters, was the 
York herald at the court of Richard II., and the family 
is said to have continued in royal favor until the reign 
of Charles II. ’ 
“The first family of Waters to emigrate to Virginia, 
and whose descendants are now prominent in Maryland, 
were two brothers—Edward and John Waters. Edward 
Waters is mentioned in the list of early immigrants to 
Virginia, and the ships upon which they reached the 
colony. Under the heading of “Mr. Edward Waters, 
His Muster,’ it is stated that Edward Waters, aged forty, 
arrived in the ship Patience in 1608. Grace Waters, aged 
twenty-one, came to Virginia in the Diana in 1618. She 
was the wife of Edward Waters, and their two children 
—William Waters and Margaret Waters—are spoken of as 
having been born in Virginia.” 
From the foregoing introduction, the enumeration of the 
descendants, dates, etc., continues to the Waters families 
of the present time, in Maryland and Virginia. Could 
there be any nobler motto than ‘‘Toujours fidéle’’? 
Mrs. Margaret Waters, his wife, is a lady of high 
culture, a charming conversationalist, and, in the world 
of letters, where the failures are in number infinitely 
greater than the successes, she has achieved a firm place 
and renown. Her pen is versatile, whether applied to 
magazine stories—she has written acceptably for the 
great magazines—or to longer flights in the realm of liter- 
ature, as evidenced by her recent successful book, issued 
by one of New York’s greatest publishing houses. We 
will reveal that to her our trap readers are indebted for the 
interesting and valued reports of the Baltimore shoots 
with which Forrest AND STREAM has been favored in 
weeks past, and which have been written over the anti- 
thetical nom de plume ‘‘A Social Tramp.” Being of a 
sunny, vivacious temperament, her writings of trap- 
shoots, while showing a keen recognition of the salient 
features, are gentle and kindly, in pleasing contrast to 
the writings of the average man, who is more prone to 
gibe and jeer at the ill performance of a contestant, even 
though the heart of the latter may be silently pumping 
ichorous tears, than he is to present the pleasing thought 
that every cloud has a silver lining. 
At Wilmington. 
WILMINGTON, Del.—The Norristown and Wilmington 
Elks shot a 12-man team race on the grounds of the 
Wawaset Gun Club Feb. 14. The visitors won by a score 
of 360 to 282. Each man shot at 50 targets. Some of 
the Wilmington team had never shot before, therefore 
their performances were fully up to what should be 
anticipated. The contest was of special interest, because 
of its uncertainties. A dinner at the Wilmington Hotel, 
after the race, was more evenly divided as to averages. 
A bowling match, five men on a team, was also won by 
the visitors. The scores:
