DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. 
Paul R. Litzke, of Little Rock, Ark., writes under date of May 9 as 
follows: '-Please announce in the next issue of your paper, that the 
Arkansas State Sportsmen's Association will add $300 in cash 
to the purses at their coming tournament to be held here May 28 to 30. 
Owing to unavoidable delay caused by some parties neglecting to send 
in their advertising matter, we have been unable to get the programme 
out as soon as we espected. but it will positively be out not later 
than the 11th. This will be the most elaborate programme ever gotten 
out by the Association, and will contain many items of interest to the 
sportsman, one of which will be a copy of our game laws. Anyone 
desiring a copy can obtain the same by sending me their name and 
address." 
Writing to me in regard to the Altoona (Pa.) Rod and Gun Club's 
tournament, which will be held at Wopsononock on July 10-12, Pro- 
fessor Zeth says: " '(Vopsy' is beginning to look quite old-fashioned 
again, having pretty well recovered from the effects of the winter. 
The depot shed was blown away by the storm, and the wildcat, foxes, 
etc., were frozen. Game seems to have been damaged to some extent, 
but we know of two turkey heDS hatching within a short distance 
from Point Lookout. It was very cold and snowed up there yester- 
day." The letter was dated May 12, and, among other things, inti- 
mated that the first medal shoot of the seasou "was shot off yester- 
day." Nice weather for a Bhoot in the middle of May." 
The Baltimore Trap-Shooting Association held, a meeting on May 3, 
and, according to the Baltimore News, the following business was 
transacted: "Mr. H. A. Penrose, the president, was empo wered to ap- 
point a tournament, classification and handicap committee, and a 
committee of six to secure prizes. It was decided that the men using 
black powder should shoot in squads, thus doing away with any in- 
terference with those using nitro powder. Ten-gauge guns were 
barred in target shootiDg. It will be the policy of the Association not 
to acceptor make challenges or shoot any team races." 
Under date of May 4 Mr. J. Emmett Haney, manager of the Houston 
(Tex.) City Gun Club tournament, writes as follows: ' There is being 
quite an interest manifested here by local sportsmen, and a great 
many are joining the gun clubs here in anticipation of the big shoot. 
We will probably have the biggest attendance ever had at any tourna- 
ment in the State. Please add to your notice of our shoot that pro- 
grammes are ready and will be sent to all writing for them. Long 
life to the Forest and Stream." 
The programme for the tournament of the Crystal Lake Gun Club, 
of Urbana, 111., is a good one, and has taken a great deal of time and 
trouble to compile. Cash and merchandise prizes to the value of $400 
will be given away during the tournament, which lasts three days, May 
29-31. The Crystal Lake Gun Club issues a special invitation to pro- 
fessionals and representatives of sporting goods dealers, and promises 
a good time to all who attend its tournament. 
The programme for the tournament of the Houston City Gun Club, 
of Houston, Texas, is to hand. The shoot commences on May 21 and 
lasts four days. The programme for each day. consists of six target 
events and one event at live birds. Merchandise prizes are offered for 
competition, many of them of considerable value. Mr. J. H. Nason, 
secretary of the club, will do doubt be glad to furnish any informa- 
tion in regard to the tournament. 
Mr. Wlllard L. Simpson, secretary of the San Antonio (Texas) Gun 
Club, writes to correct an error in the notice of the Texas State 
shoot which appeared in the Forest and Stream of May 4. Mr. Simp- 
son states that the tournament will not be held under the auspices of 
the San Antonio Gun Club, as that organization is not a member of 
the State Association. 
The "circuit" had a great send-off last week, the DuPont tourna- 
ment at Cincinnati proving a regular corker, both a« regards number 
of shooters and the scores made. If that is a fair sample of what one 
will meet at Knoxville, Memphis, Cleveland, etc., it's going to be warm' 
work for a short time to come. 
Mr. W. F. Brown, secretary of the New England Shooting Associ- 
ation, writes that the "seventh and closing tournament of the New 
England Shooting Association will take place at Worcester, Mass., Fri- 
day, June 14, under the auspices of the Worcester Gun Club." 
The next shoot of the New Jersey Trap-Shooters' League will be 
held at the grounds of the Endeavor Gun Club, Marion, N. J., on Sat- 
urday, June 29. Sweepstake shooting will commence at 9:30, the 
League team race being set for 2 P. M. 
Next Tuesday, May 21, there will be a 50-bird race, $25 entrance, birds 
extra, $50 added, at Frank Class's grounds, Morristown, N. J., Driving 
Park. Entries must be made to Jas. Timmons or Frank Class before 
May 18. 
And next week it's to be Knoxville. One hundred shooters in line 
and all previous records smashed! That's what the Knoxville boys 
said last fall, and it looks as if their prophecy was coming true. 
The Home City Gun Club, of Springfield, O., will hold their opening 
shoot on Decoration Day (May 30), commencing at 9 o'clock A. M. 
They wid offer over twenty prizes and some added money. 
The system in the cashier's department at the DuPont tournament 
appears to have been about perfect, judging from the sample blanks 
sent me by R. S. Waddell. 
Brewer has been doing some very big work lately: 1C0 straight and 
98 out of 100 (two dead out of bounds) is something in the neighbor- 
hood of a record. 
The Altoona Rod and Gun Club will hold an all-day shoot at Wopso- 
nonock on Decoration Day.

Programme of the Illinois State Shoot. 
The programme of the Illinois State Sportsmen's Association, which 
is ready for distribution, commences briefly with the following note: 
"The convention will beheld at the Sherman House on Monday and 
Tuesday evenings, June 3 and 4, at 8 o'clock. The association's events 
will be held at Watson's Park, Burnside, 111., commencing at 10 
o'clock A. M., June 8, and contiuue until programme is completed." 
The first State event is the contest for the Board of Trade diamond 
badge, value $500, entrance $10, 10 live birds per man. Then follows 
the L. C. Smith cup contest, 20 empire* per man, 85 entrance; this 
cup is emblematic of the individual championship of the State at 
inanimates. The third event is the four-men team championship, 
teams to be composed of men who are members of the same club and 
who are members of the State Association. The prize is a silver 
trophy, valued at $50. There are, of course, other prizes for second, 
third and fourth clubs, besides special prizes. 
Then follows the programme of the ' Open Shoot," described as a 
"Sweepstakes tournament, open to all." The introductory matter 
starts as follows: 
"The management reserves the right to bar objectionable entries, but 
no reputable man of any rank or any nationality will be barred. 
Open tournament is governed by the laws of the Illinois State Sports- 
men's Association rules, excepting the position of holding gun, which 
will be left to choicB of shooter. Ic all contests after the second in 
the open tournament the moneys will be divided as follows: In seven- 
bird contests, under twenty entries, 50, 30 and 20 per cent.; over twenty 
entries, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. : in ten, or more, bird or target con- 
tests, under ten entries, 50, 30 and 20 per cent. ; ten to twenty entries, 
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent.; over twenty entries, 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 per 
cent. 
"Dropping for place: Any shooter found dropping for place in any 
©vept shall be debarred, front all further interest in that event in case 
of the first offense. Upon detection a second time in a similar offense 
he shall be ruled off the grounds." 
The events in this portion of the tournament number eleven. Ot tins 
number, four are at live birds, the other seven being at empire tar- 
f|The trophies presented by Montgomery Ward & Co. are remarkably 
handsome. The conditions governing these trophies are described as 
follows: "The conditions of Montgomery Ward & Co.'s diamond 
trophies for live bird and target contests shall be 15 live birds a nd 25 
targets, the highest scores in 1894 to shoot off with the highest in 1895, 
to determine ownership, ties to be shot off at 5 birds." The winner 
of the medal for live birds in 1694 was J. J. Smith, of Evanston, III. 
Dr. H. H. Frothingham, of the Audubon Gun Club, Chicago, won the 
target trophy. Cuts of the two shooters above-named, together with 
cuts of Henry Ehlers and W. H. Skinner, appear on page 5 of the pro- 
gramme. Mr. Ehlers won the Hoard of Trade diamond badge last 
year, Mr. Skinner carrying off the L. C. Smith cup. 
The full text of the Association's rules for live- bird and target- 
shooting is given in the programme, together with a list of "officers 
and members of sportsmen's clubs, members of the Illinois State 
Sportsmen's Association." 
From the above review of the programme it will be gathered that 
the production is as complete as possible. This Association's shoots 
in the past have been remarkably successful, and this, its twenty-first 
or "coming of age" tournament, will hardly be likely to fail in any re- 
spect. The preparations, which it is promised shall be made, looking 
to the comfort of the shooters, apparently leave nothing to be desired. 
Brewer Kills 98. 
Morristown, N. J., May 8— Brewer to-day made another great 
record with his gun, killing 98 out of 100 within bounds, the two that 
he failed to score dropping dead outside the 50yds. boundary. The 
match was made for $250 a side, Brewer being backed to kill 95 out of 
100; as above stated he won by 3 birds. Some idea of the rapidity 
with which the match was shot may be gained from the fact that the 
whole match only took 49 minutes. The first series of 25 was shot in 
13 minutes; second series in 12 minutes; third series in 12 minutes, 
and the last series also in 12 minutes. The wind was fresh and blew 
strongly directly across the traps; the birds were an excellent lot of 
flyers, which makes Brewer's work all the more notable. His best 
kills were made on his 33d, 62d, 92d and 96th birds. Score:

The Philadelphians Won. 
Philadelphia, Pa., May 11— Teams of four men representing the 
Philadelphia Gun Club, the Racquet Club and the Rittenhouse Club, 
shot a match to-day on the grounds of the former club at Eddington. 
The PhiladelphiaDS won by two birds, their nearest opponents being 
the Racquet Club team, which numbered among its party George 
Work and Edgar 5Iurphy. Murphy made the high score of the match, 
but Work slipped up badly, losing 7 out of his 25 birds. The scores 
were as follows:

appeared on deck and proceeded with apparently unanimous consent 
to miss about as many of the wingless birds as was possible to-day. 
In justice to the shooters, however, it might be mentioned that the 
"rocky" work shown up was perhaps due more to atmospherical than 
other conditions. The day was one of those dark ones which make 
following the targets very difficult sport. Three of the gold medal 
gang tied with the score of 15 each, and, in the shoot off, W. P. Bray- 
ton pulled out ahead, and will consequently be a pronounced gold bug 
for a week to come. Addie Sterling of the B class has again demon- 
strated that he is a staunch friend of the white metal, and will carry 
the medal of that quality and color for the third successive week as a 
result of his score of 13 to-day.

Worcester, Mass., May 7. 
The second shoot of the Worcester Sportsmen's Club for the Fore- 
hand Arms Co. trophy was held to-day, and brought out some of the 
old timers. Eliot Smith, who has not been able to attend a shoot for 
three months on account of sickness, shot in good form ; other old time 
cracks were E. S. Knowles, M. D. Gilman, A. B. F. Kinney and C. B. 
Claflin. The shooting is as difficult as it can be made, the targets are 
thrown very swift and low, and if any shooter ever breaks 100 straight 
on the grounds he will break the world's record. Following are the 
scores: 
Fifty targets, 25 regular keystone and 25 reversed keystone: 
Regular. Reversed. Total. Regular. Reversed. Total.

Lynchburg Trap Matters. 
Lynchburg, Va., May 8— A heavy rain prevented the Gun Club 
shooting yesterday. The club held its annual meeting: last night and 
elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Pres , R. S Terry 
(fourth term); Vice-Pres., W. L. Moorman; Captains, W. W. Dornin 
and J. M. Cleland; Treas., Thos. F. Nelson (Mr. Nelson has been treas- 
urer ever since the organization of the club); Sec'y, Geo. L. Fleming; 
Executive Committee, E. P. Miller, C. W. Scott, W. P. Clark, Gen. J. 
H. Smith, B. G. Empie; Scorer, W. N. Welford; Surgeon, Dr. Samuel 
P. Preston. 
Surgeon to a gun club is a funny idea, but it goes. There was quite 
a full attendance, and much interest was manifested in the coming 
interstate shoot. Arrangements have been made with the railroads 
concerning lay-overs for shooters en route to Knoxville, and reduced 
rates for those who come only to this point, Lunches will be served 
on the grounds, and they will be lunches worth the money, and will be 
for eating purposes as well as tor sale. Headquarters for shooters 
and the Oun Club will be at the Norvell-Arlington Hotel. The club 
will endeavor to make all visitors feel perfectly at home. F. M. D. 
A New Gun Club. 
Indianapolis, Ind.— The Limited Gun Club of Indianapolis has in- 
corporated under the laws of the State of Indiana, with a capital of 
$4,000, divided into shares of $50 each. 
Five and one-half acres of land have been purchased, which are now 
being fenced, while an architect is preparing plans for the club house 
and other improvements. 
The determination of the management is to make of this a model 
shooting ground, with all the comforts and conveniences that experi- 
ence and gocd taste suggest. 
We want the address of every club in the State, as we have some- 
thing of interest %a say to them, RoYAt. Robinson, Sec'y ,
