DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Clui secretaries are invited to send their scores /or publication in 
these columns^ also any news notes they may care to have printed. Ties 
on all events are considered as divided unless otheriuise reported. Mail 
all such matter to Forest and Stream Publishing Company ^ 346 Broad- 
way,, Neni York. 
Under date of March 23 Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, manager of the 
Interstate Association, sends us the following communication: 
"I desire to announce through the coliimns of Forest and Stream 
that the ofifice of compiler of scores during the Grand American 
Handicap live-bird tournament will be filled by Mr. Edward Banks, 
)h„o.-«„cs ena-ao-pmen+s nreventine- Mr. John D. Regan from being 
present as per schedule. While the announcement that Mr. 
Uauiis will asam hii Ins old position will be pleasing news to in- 
tending contestants, I know that it will be a very serious disap- 
pointrnent to the gentleman personally, as he was counting on 
'mingling with the boys' and having a good time generally at 
this tournament. The system in vogue at the Grand American 
Handicap is such as to require a man to be thoroughly familiar 
•\vith the routine and all details in connection therewith, making 
lit clearly out of the question to fill the position in a satisfactory 
manner with a new man at this late date. However, Mr. Banks 
has kindly consented to help out on this occasion, and his loyalty 
IS fully appreciated by the Interstate Association." 
The programme of the Interstate Association's trapshooting 
target tournament, given for the Jacksonville Gun Club, Jack- 
sonville, Fla., April 17 and 18, is now ready for distribution, and 
•erm be obtained of Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, 111 Fourth avenue, 
il'iltsburg, Pa;, or Mr. B. W. Sperry, secretary of the club, 
Jacksonville, Fla. There are ten like events each da3', of which 
>.even are at 15 and three at 20 targets, SLofJ and $2 entrance. 
Sliooting commences at 9:30. To reach the shooting grounds take 
the Main street cars at Baj' and Main streets. The club has 
secured a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip on all 
railroads running into Jacksonville. The Rose system, ratios 
5, 3, 2, 1, will govern. Guns and ammunition forwarded to 
Mr. B. W. Sperry will be delivered at the shooting grounds. Tar- 
gets 2 cents. Lunch ser^'ed on the grounds. Manufacturers' 
agents for targets ox\\y. Duval House will bo headquarters. 
The shooting interests of the Pan-American Exposition are 
gradually taking organized shape. Mr. Harry D. Kirkover, who 
has these interests in charge, is working most energetically and 
successfully in arranging the details. It has been arranged that 
this shoot will take place in July, in the week commencing on 
the 15th of that month. A valuable list of merchandise prizes will 
be offered for competition, and $2,000 in cash will be added. The 
members of the executive committee are Messrs. H. D. Kirkover, 
Buffalo, chairman; E. E. Shaner, Pittsburg; Edward Banks, New 
York; Col. J. T- Anthony, Charlotte, N. C. ; G. W. Loomis, 
Omaha, Neb.; Hon. T. A. Marshall, Keithsburf. III., and B. 
Waters. The programme committee consists of Edward Banks, 
Elmer E. Shaner and B. Waters. 
Mr. Harold Money added new honors to his record at the 
great annual tournament of the Riverton Gun Club, Philadelphia, 
Pa., last Saturday by killing 98 pigeons out of 100, and beating 
all competitors. This and his recent win of the Carteret Gun 
Club championship, wherein, in each instance, he was competing 
against the pick of America's best amateur shots, distinguishes him 
as being the best amateur with the scatter gun. 
Mr, Geo. R. Schneider, the secretary, writes us as follows: "At 
a recent meeting of the Fulton Gun Club the following officers 
were elected for the year: President, Patrick May; Vice-Presi- 
dent, John Blake; Ireasurer, A. VV^oods; Secretary, Geo. R 
Schneider; CaiJtain, Samuel Giles. The club decided to have a 
regular club shoot every two weeks, the first day of the week, at 
Dick Oseing's farm, Crescent street, near Old Mill, Brooklyn. 
The first shoot will be held Marcli 31." 
In our trap columns this week we publish an interesting letter 
from Capt. A. W. du Bray (Gaucho), in which he narrates in a 
charming manner some shooting incidents of his Southern travels. 
He, in a personal letter to us, mentions the regrettable circum- 
stances that, owing to the illness of his daughter, he may not be 
able to attend the Grand American Handicap this year. 
Keep in mind that the Baltimore live-bird tournament follows 
the Grand American Handicap, the dates being April 9 to 12. 
The shooters in attendance at the Grand American Handicap who 
contemplate attending the aforementioned event v/ill have op- 
portunity to learn all particulars from representatives on the 
grounds, as a large delegation of the Baltimore Shooting Associa- 
tion will be present at the G. A. H. 
The E C cup, emblematic of the target championship of the 
United States, and for that matter of the wond, since the com- 
petition is open to all comers regardless of boundaries, will be 
put in competition at the forthcoming great Pan-American tourna- 
ment, it IS now held by a shooter of mighty deeds with the 
shotgun, Mr. W. R. Crosby, of O'Fallon, 111. 
.'\pril 23 and 24 are the dates announced for the Peters Car- 
tridge Company's amateur tournament, at Olatha, Kan. - Mr. 
Frank Hodges will assist in conducting the tournament. Also 
April 1 and 2 at Houston. Tex., and April 24 and 25 at Bing- 
hamton, N. Y., this company gives tournaments. 
The secretary of the club, Mr. Dana P. Foster, writes us as fol- 
lows: "The V/aterville, Me., Gun Club will hold its annual shoot 
June 20. There will be $75 added money; eleven events — five at 
15 targets, five at 20, one at 25. This will be the first shoot on the 
club's new grounds."

Merrill, of Milwaukee, and Mr. Tod Sloan, arrived in New 
York in the early part of this week with a design on the posses-

At Spring Valley, N. Y., a new trapshooting club has been

petition.

Boston Alhlelic Association. 
Boston, March 25. — Our Association last spring decided to put 
in a set of expert traps on our outdoor grounds at Riverside for 
the purpose of encouraging trapshooting among its members. 
The result is that in one year's trial the sport has become so 
popular that we are no-.v going into it for fair, and started last 
week to put in two sets of five traps, a set of three traps a'«o 
for doubles and a magautrap, all fitted with electric pulls. W^e 
are also erecting a large ciub house 50 bv 22 lor the use of our 
gunners only, and when all is finished we think we will have the 
finest shooting grounds in New Eng and. 
A rnalch shoot at 250 inanimate birds between Harvard Uni- 
versity and B. A. A. took place last Saturday afternoon, March 
23, on the B. A. A. grounds at Riverside, and proved to be one 
of the^most exciting matches held in this section for some time. 
The Harvard team won by onljr 2 bu'ds. 
Phelps, of Harvard, and Farmer, of B. A. A., did the best work, 
each getting 48 of their possible 50. The scores:

Above scores made over expert traps, all unknown angles. 
Judges were Mr. C. H. North, of Chamberlin Cartridge Company, 
Cleveland, O., and Leroy Woodward. 
At the close of the match between Harvard and B. A, A., the 
latter club held its regular weekly handicap shoot for the Hunter 
cup. There were fourteen entries, and very good scores were made. 
Mr. W. B. Farmer, an 85 man, was the leader with a total of 94, 
and T. F. Baxter, another 85 man, was a close second with a total 
of 92. The scores:

Our method of handicapping is perhaps a little out of the ordi- 
nary, but we find it to be as good as, u not beiier man, ai.. .ji„er 
we have tried, excepting, of course, di.stance handicaps: 85 men 
shoot at S5 birds and to their score add 15; -SO men shoOt at .^0 
birds ,and to their score add 20; 75 men shoot at 75 birds and to 
their score add 25; 70 , 65, 60, etc. 
We would be pleased to have other clubs of amateurs try this 
method and let us have their views through vour valued paper.
