DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Club secretaries are invited to send their scores for publication in 
these columns, also any neius notes they may care to have printed. 
Ties in all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. 
Mail all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company, $liS 
Broadway, New York. 
The Richmond (Va.) Dtspatefe of Sunday, April 38, gives quite an 
extended account of the coming Interstate Association tournament at 
Blandon Park, in that city. The article is graced by cuts of Elmer 
Shaner and Tom Keller, and also contains an interesting review of 
the growth of the West End Gun Club, and portraits of its president, 
W. A. Hammond, and its boy shooter, Wm. H. Dean, Jr. Of the lat- 
ter, the Dispatch says: ' Master Wm. Harper Deane, Jr., aged thirteen 
years, is considered a phenomenal shot for his age; in fact, he can 
hold his own in company with many older ones. Master Deane has 
just been presented by his father with a Lefever hammerless ejector 
of a high grade, which he will use at the coming tournament." Of 
'•Tee Kay," it remarks: "It is said of Tee Kay that he can create 
more amusement for a crowd in ten minutes than any other man in 
a week. His very good nature often spoils his scores, as he is far 
more apt to 'jolly' than pay strict attention to breaking claytargets." 
The Marlin ("Texas) Gun Olub intends holding a big shoot on May 
SS-W next The tournament will not be open to all: manufacturers' 
agents and professional shooters are barred from the regular events, 
being allowed to shoot only for the birds. All moneys will be divided 
on the Rose system, and all targets will be charged for at the rate of 
cents each. Guns and shells should be sent to L. S. Ross, Jr., who 
will see that they get to the grounds. On the first and second days of 
the shoot the programme will be as follows: Nos. 1, 2 and 3, 15 tar- 
gets, $1 50; Nos. 4 and 5, 20 targets, $-^: Nos. 6, 7 and 8, 5 live birds, 
$3.50. Live birds will be charged for at the rate of 20 cents each. 
We learn from a circular sent us that the club intends to give all its 
guests a capital time. As an item of interest we might add that the 
club states that it will give away valuable prizes amounting to over 
Si, 000. For further information address the Advertising Committee, 
Marlin Gun Club, P. O. Box 196, Marhn, Texas. 
We received the following letter from Mr. H T. Hearsey, secretary- 
treasurer of the Trap-Shooters' League of Indiana, too late for in- 
sertion in last week's issue. We publish the letter, however, to show 
that the Indiana League is a thing of hte, with a career before it: 
"The tournament at Peru, Ind , April 28-29, promoted by Mr. J. L. 
Head, has the sanction of the Trap-Shooters' League of Indiana, and 
will have its cordial support. A special meetiog i>f tbe league 
will be held in Peru on the evening of April 2?, when a vote will be 
taken to determine the place of holding the first league tournament. 
It is de.'ired that such clubs as have not joined, will do so at once; 
certainly not later than the date of the Peru meeting. In the mean- 
time clubs wishing the honor of having the tourtiament on their 
grounds may canvass among their friends for votes." 
We have received several letters during the past week from gun 
clubs in the State of New Jersey, all cf them expressing strongly 
their approval of the efforts uow made to start a State Sportsmen' s 
Association. New Jersey should have an annual tournament second to 
none in the country. She has, outside of her own rtsident shooters, 
a large number of trap-shooters in Pennsylvania, New York and New 
England to draw upon. In her own State she has many men who 
are exceedingly expert with tbe shotgun, and there is no reason on 
earth why the State Sportsmen's Association of New Jersey should 
not be an active organization. The meeting called for May 19 will 
tell the tale. 
Saturday, May 1, is the regular monthly club shoot of the Boiling 
Springs Gun Olub, of Rutherford, N. J. This shoot marks the begin- 
ning of a new prize series, and is sure to he largely attended. It 
seems a good idea to divide the season into two halve?, as this plan 
gives a man who has had a run of tough luck in one half a chance to 
redeem himself in the second half. The club also announces an 
"open to-all nlD-handicap" lOJ-target race, $5 entrance, targets extra, 
for May 18. This should prove an interesting race as there are quite 
a number of shots in this vicinity who are close enough together to 
be called equal. 
On Wednesday, May 2S, the Brooklyn Gun Club will hold a shoot at 
its grounds. Liberty avenue and Enfleld street, Brooklyn (terminus 
of the Kings County Elevated). The main event will be a 50-target 
handicap for a gold watch, entrance $2.50, including targets; all sur- 
plus added to the purse. The Brooklyn's grounds are easy of access 
for residents in either Brooklyn or New York, and visitors, who are 
always welcome, will find all conveniences in the way of club-house, 
plenty of shooting, etc , whenever they pay a visit to this new club. 
A good deal has been said of late in regard to a trophy for the 
Grand American handicap winner; and we have received queries as 
to whether the Interstate Association has ever donated a trophy to 
the winner of this event. We can best reply to such queries in these 
columns by staling that the Association has never given any trophy 
at all. At the fourth annual Grand American Handicap, held last 
year at ElkwoosI Park, Messrs Phil Daly. Sr. and Jr., did donate a 
cup which was won by O. R Dickey, of Boston, Mass. 
So Col. A. G. Courtney wiU, on May 1, sever his connection with the 
Lefever Arms Co. , of Syracuse, and enroll himself under the banner 
of the Remington Arms Co. Frank Parmelee is doing bis best to 
boom the Remington hammerless ejector, and Parmelee's best is by 
no means bad, "With Courtney and Parmelee, men of solid weigbt 
both of them, the Remington should he found somewhere uear the 
top in most of the tournaments of 1897. 
A. H. Chapman jjf the St. Paul Railroad has donated an elegant 
silver cup, with gold trimmings, to be competed for by the memoers 
of the National Gun Club of Milwaukee, Wis. On the bell-shaped 
pedestal a field scene is engraved, representing trap-shooting at live 
birds. On the exterior of the bowl there is a laurel wreath support- 
ing two guns. The interior of the bowl is gOld-Ijned and the exterior 
is inlaid with gold. 
The Portland (Me.) Gun Club held its annual spring tournament on 
April 14. The weather was rather unfavorable for good scores, but 
Dickey managed to pound out a total of 204 out of 2^5 shot at, win- 
ning first average with 90.6 per cent. The club will hold another 
tournament on May 30, when a magautrap will be used for throwing 
targets. Added money will also be another attraction at this shoot. 
We wish somebody would give us a good receipt for preventing 
"flinching" or "fudging." We get lots of letters on this subject ask- 
ing what should be done to stop it. la many cases the victims seem 
to have tried about every remedy possible, and still to be as bad as 
ever. Who can give us "a sure cure"? 
The Indiana Trap-Shooters' League have granted sanction to the 
Greensburg Gun Club, of Greensburg, Ind., to hold a shooting tour- 
nament on their club grounds, Oct. 13 and 14. For further informa- 
tion regarding this tournament address Mr, Web Woodflil, secretary
