DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
In the contest of the Philadelphia Trapshooters’ 
League, held on Saturday of last week, Lansdale defeated 
Narberth, 208 to 206. S. S White defeated North Cam- 
den, 186 to 1388. Meadowsprings defeated Clearview, 199 
to 191. Media defeated Highland, 197 to 189.

Dr. J. B Pardoe, under date of March 3, writes us 
that, ‘“‘We have postponed our shoot of to-day on ac- 
count of rain, to Saturday, March 10, at 1 o’clock sharp. 
Thirty merchandise prizes will be in event 6. The first 
five events are sweepstakes. Three medals for amateur 
averages, and professional average.” 
sd 
Concerning the final shoot of the tri-State series, Mr. 
Ed. Banks was erroneously accredited with high av- 
erage. He scored 91. Mr. J. Mowell Hawkins, of Balti- 
more, scored 92 and was high average. This demon- 
strates that at a certain juncture, one target may have 
the majestic size of a Ferris wheel. 
bd 
The Bergen Beach Gun Club will hold a shoot on Feb. 
3. In our fixtures it was erroneously credited to the 
Sheepshead Bay Gun Club. The regular shoot of the 
Sheepshead Bay Gun Club is to be held on March 15. 
The shoot of the Bergen Beach Gun Club on the 18th 
inst., has forecasts of being well attended. 
d 
The third quarter of the 500-target championship con- 
test of the Crescent Athletic Club will take place on 
the club’s grounds at Bay Ridge, on Saturday of this 
week. In the club shoot last Saturday Messrs. Frank 
B. Stephenson and H. M. Brigham, scratch men, tied in 
the contest for the March cup with scores of 23. 
sd 
A home-and-home contest has been arranged between 
teams of the Crescent Athletic Club and the Boston 
Athletic Association, the first of which is to be held at 
Bay Ridge, L. I., on March 24. The return match is 
fixed to be held at Boston on April 14. Each team of 
the contestants will have five men, each of whom will 
shoot at-100 targets. 
R 
The match at 100 live birds, $250 a side, shot at the 
Philadelphia Driving Park, Point Breeze, between 
Messrs. Ed. Johnson, of Atlantic City, and Fred Muller, 
of Philadelphia, resulted in a tie on 92. The weather 
conditions were exceedingly unfavorable, a gale of wind 
prevailing at the time. Messrs. Brewer and Buckwalter 
arranged to shoot a match on March 8. 
R 
“The all-day shoot of the Milburn, N. J., Gun Club is 
one that should attract shooters. It has an attractive 
150-target programme, and the grounds are but one min- 
ute’s walk from station at Vaux Hall Inn Hotel grounds. 
Let a word to the wise suffice: Shells and lunch.” So 
writes Secretary Chas. Wittkop, concerning his club’s 
shoot, fixed to be held on March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. 
td 
The annual shoot of the Freehold, N. J., Gun Club, 
March 17, has a programme of eight events, 10, 15 and 
20 targets, the greater number of which have an entry 
based en five cents per target. Event 3 is the three-man 
team race, 25 targets per man, $5 entrance, for a silver 
tea service, value $55. Event 6 is a handicap, open to 
all, for a loving cup, value $25. Targets, 14% cent. Shells 
sent by express, prepaid, care Freehold Gun Club, will 
be delivered cn the grounds free. R. A. Ellis is the 
Secretary. 
ad 
In the contest for the English Hotel cup, on the 
grounds of the Indianapolis, Ind., Gun Club, March 3, 
Mr. W. T. Nash, by virtue of a rabbit foot, successfully 
defended his title, defeating the challenger, Mr. H. B. 
Sayles by a score of 79 to 76. The weather was cold, 
with a stiff wind blowing across the traps, which had its 
time-honored effect on the scores. Mr. H. Comstock 
challenged the holder, challenge was accepted, and 
March 10 fixed as the date of the contest. Things seem 
to be sudden in relation to that cup. 
On the serious question of whether to shoot or not to 
shoot, which has been a source of much distress and 
litigation to the members of the famous Hurlingham 
Gun Club, of England, a termination was reached as 
follows, as published in the Field (London) of Feb. 24: 
“No further evidence was called, and on Wednesday, 
after Mr. Danckwerts had said that he was quite willing 
to concede that the resolution prohibiting pigeon shoot- 
ing was properly carried according to the rules of the club, 
although he still maintained that even the majority could 
not alter the fundamental principles of the club, his 
lordship said he would reserve judgment. This was de- 
livered on Thursday, and, as was expected would be the 
case after the admission of Mr. Danckwerts respecting 
his withdrawal of objection to the procedure of the 
voting at the now historic meeting, it was in favor of 
the club. He did not think that the trustees held the 
grounds for either pigeon shooting or any other funda- 
mental principle, and as times, like men and opinions, 
had changed, they were justified in discontinuing the 
practice of shooting pigeons from a trap. He was not 
there to give an opinion as to its legality, but there 
certainly seemed to be an idea abroad that it was now 
old-fashioned and might be dropped without the club 
losing any attractive feature. He dismissed the action, 
and ordered the plaintiffs to pay their own costs, those 
of the defendants to be paid out of the funds of the club. 
BERNARD WATERS. 
Richmond Gun Club. 
RicuMonp, Va., Feb. 24.—The weather was delightfully 
pleasant. Some superior scores were made. Mr. W, A. 
Hammond had a run of 47 and lost but 3 in a string of 
75. He was trying his new 34in. Parker gun, one of the first 
in length ever seen here. Judging from his score, the 
gun fits him perfectly. 
Johnny Martin used a new L. C. Smith, and had the 
score keeper chalk up 25 straight to his credit. ‘‘Mac” 
also got in a straight. Fultz, Brown and Dr. Hillsman 
shot a good, even gait. 
At a very early date the Richmond and West End 
clubs will rebuild their club house, and the shoots of the 
season will be held as last year.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
APPENDED find scores made to-day at the regular weekly 
shoot of the Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
There were several automobile parties out to-day to 
witness the shooting, which was not quite up to the 
standard. 
>everal ladies have joined the club and will have their 
shoots on Saturday afternoon’s in the near future. 
F. L. Emerson, wife and sons Victor and Ed., came 
out to-day, and the feature of the shooting was the 
work done by Ed., a twelve-year-old boy, shooting at 
l4dyds., with a 28-gauge, breaking 20 out of 85. We con- 
sider this remarkable, as the boy has only been shooting 
three months. 
Our Secretary, Geo. Frost, after serving long and 
faithfully, has seen fit to tender his resignation, which 
was accepted under protest, and a temporary secretary 
has been appointed. Scores:

return match was arranged to take place on Tuesday of

Columbus Gun Club. 
CoLtumsus, O.—The shooting interests in Columbus 
are quite on the increase. New members are being 
added daily to the Columbus Gun Club, and the members 
who have taken up rifle shooting have stirred up con- 
siderable enthusiasm among the rifle shooters; and the 
fact that the club will begin grading and building the 
new rifle and revolver ranges just as early as the ground 
can be worked, has added much to this popular sport. 
A 200yds., 100yds., 50yds, 25yds. and pistol ranges will 
be put in, and a longer range than 200yds. will be taken 
up at a meeting of the directors in the near future. 
Winter shooting has continued without interruption. 
With the increased facilities and the pleasure of a winter 
afternoon at the traps with pleasant surroundings, such 
as the old log fire, comfortable chairs, good car service, 
makes it possible for a great many busy men to get a 
little healthful relaxation from the cares of business. 
There is much interest in the big tournament to be held 
here May 9, 10 and 11, 1906.

Michigan State Trapshooters’ League. 
Tue Secretary-Treasurer, Charles M. Greenway, an- 
nounces information as follows: ; 
“The Greatest Michigan Shoot.—By reason of holding 
the Michigan State shoot at Grand Rapids this year, the 
Michigan Trapshooters’ League has insured for itself the 
most successful shoot ever held in the history of the 
League. The Consolidated Sportsman’s Association of 
Grand Rapids, who will manage the shoot is certainly one 
of the best organized clubs in the United States, and 
anything they have ever attempted in the way of a 
tournament has been a success from every standpoint. 
Grand Rapids is a city of rare accommodations, and the 
club’s appointments are in ‘every way practical. A de- 
cided innovation in the way of tower shooting is prom- 
ised, and it is expected that Grand Rapids will hold one 
of the largest shoots held outside of the Grand American 
Handicap during 1906. 
A liberal amount has been added for average money, 
and, being the only State shoot held in Michigan this 
year, will certainly help to make it a winner. 
Consolidated Gun Club Association. 
SoutH MANCHESTER, Conn., Feb. 26.—Editor Forest and 
Stream: The Consolidated Gun Club Association of the 
State of Connecticut have decided to hold three grand 
tournaments, all at Hartford, during the summer of 
1906. These tournaments will probably take place during 
the: months of May, July and September. They already 
have eleven clubs entered, and there is every prospect of 
these shoots being the largest of any held in New 
England, for a number of years at least. The committee 
of arrangements consists of H. J. Mills, President; Dr. 
Wm. J. McElligott, Vice-President; D. Moore, |
