DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Clui secretaries are invited to send their scores for publicaiion in 
these columns, also any news notes they may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless otherwise reported. Mail 
all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company^ 346 Broad- 
way ^ New York. 
The programme the Interstate Association's last target tour- 
nament of the season, at Portsmouth, Va., is now ready for dis- 
tribution. Sept. 6 and 7 are the dates. There are ten events alike 
each day, respectively, two at 10 targets, $1; six at $1.50, and two 
at 20, $2 entrance. Of Portsmouth the programme sets forth: 
"Situated on the Elizabeth River, ten miles from Hampton Roads, 
Portsmouth has, with Norfolk, the largest and safest harbor on 
the Atlantic Coast south of New York, and through the broad 
entrance of Chesapeake Bay the commerce of the world is brought 
to her by steam and sail. Nine railroads extend to all points of 
the compass, and nuiserous coastwise and foreign steamship lines 
carry on immense traffic. The city is rich in historic associations. 
It was a theater of Colonial, Revolutionary and Confederate strug- 
gles, and it was within ten miles of her harbor that the famous 
engagement between the U. S. S. Monitor and the Confederate 
ironclad Merrimac (an event which changed the character of 
naval warfare) was fought in 1862. There is no greater attraction 
for visitors than the United States Navy Yard at this point, 
where some of the best types of Uncle Sam's fighting machines — 
notably the Texas and the Raleigh — have been built. The yard 
dates back to Washington's time, and some idea of its advantage 
to Portsmouth can be gained from the fact that more than 2,000 
workmen keep up the busy hum of toil. The town's pro.ximity 
to the ocean gives it additional charm to visitors to whom the 
sea is a new experience. Eighteen .miles away, by rail, is Vir- 
ginia Beach, one of the principal winter and summer resorts on 
the coast, and much nearer, on the Bay, are Ocean View, and 
the queen of bayside health resorts. Old Point Comfort. The 
waters hereabouts teem with oysters and fish, offering inducements 
to the lovers of the angle. To sportsmen with a penchant for big 
game the neighboring Dismal Swamp oft'ers attractions in the 
form of deer, bear and wildcat, not to mention game of smaller 
caliber." Shooting commences at 10 o'clock. To reach the 
grounds, take Columbia Park cars at the foot of High street.
