POn^ST AND STREAM. 
The fore tack is led through a gun-metal bullseye stropped to 
the bowsprit with a stout wire grommet. 
The spinnaker and topsail entail some extra running gear, but 
that for the t0][)sail is afipatetit in the sail ^ plan, and consists of a 
halliard, sheet and tack, dU of manild and d\l sitlgle rppes, Ihe 
(ack should always be belayed on the opposite side of the ttiast to 
that on which the sail is set, so as to keep the heel of th6 toplsau 
yard close to the mast. The halliard and sheet are bent to the 
yards with a rolling hitch. 
The spinnaker gear consists of a halliard guy and sheet, the 
latter being a short piece of small manila spliced into the clew of 
the sail and made fast to the lee rigging. The halliard is a single 
manila rope with a large spring hook spliced into each end and 
cut to such a length that the hooks just reach the shroud plates 
each side and are hooked into them when not in use. 
Thfe ghy also has a spring hook in the end, which is hooked 
iiiib ari eye in the feiid of the IdHgj spinnaker boom, and into the 
tack of the sail. , 
in case ordinary fore sheets are prefei'rfed tb . the .d.tltotflijtie 
arrangement I have shown on the sail plans, they should be eithtf- 
shackled into the clew of the sail with a jib sheet shackle (as 
illustrated among the fittings), or they may be attached directly to 
the sail; the best method of doing this is to work a cringle in the 
center of the sheets through the clew cringle of the sail, and made 
in exactly the same way, from a strand of the same sized rope used 
for the sheets, which should be of cotton,

DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
t'rom Mr. Edward Banks, secretary of the 1. A-, we have teceived 
the following: "The Interstate Associatioh, ill response to ^ 
HobUlai- demand, some time ago decided to hold the Orana 
Ainericah Handicap at pigeons for 1902 in some Western city, and 
at a meeting of the stockholders of tlie Association, which was 
held Monday afternoon last, the 28th ittst., in New York city, 
selected Kansas City, Mo., as the place for the great shoot next 
vear. The dates fixed upon are March 31 to April 5, inclusive. 
Mr Shaner, the Association's manager, was recently sent to look 
over the ground and spend a few days in Kansas City; on his 
return to Pittsburg he reported very favorably on the oUtlook for 
a big G. A. H. shoot next year. It is understood that there will 
be four sets of traps and ample accommodation for 350 to 400 
shooters. The hotel accommodation in Kansas City cannot be 
beaten, and street car communication with the shooting grounds 
is easy, frequent and cheap. The Interstate Association has also 
claimed dates for its Grand American Handicap at targets, which 
will be held at Interstate Park, Queens, L. I.. N. Y., May 7-10, in- 
clusive. It will be noticed that this event has been brought forward 
to a much earlier date than usual, the change having been made at 
the suggestion of a very large number of intending participants." 
In his report concerning the matter of the G. A. H. at live birds, 
:is it pertained to the West, Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, who was a visitor 
in that section last week, stated that the greatest enthusiasm was 
manifested by the shooters of Kansas City in respect to holding it 
at that place. After the meeting of the Interstate Association on 
Monday of this week, at which it was decided to hold the G. A. H. 
at Kansas City, a notification by telegraph was sent by Mr. Ed 
Banks to Mr. R. S. Elliott, who on Tuesday replied by tele- 
graph as follows: "Kansas City feels highly complimented, and 
will meet every requirement." With such interes't and active 
energy in evidence, the G. A, H. of 1902 should be a record- 
breaker. 
It is gratifying to note that the Grand American Handicap at 
live birds for 1902 will be shot in the West, at Kansas City. The 
Western shooters have felt for a long while that this great contest 
should be held in the West, though they sometimes forgot that it 
was an incident_of several great manufacturing interests, and under 
the individual control of an association which rer)re<^eni:rd thpm. 
However, it is now an incident of the West, and affords a pleasingT 
opportunity for the Western brethren to rally and make it the 
largest and best shoot of the kind in all history. 
From Atlanta. Ga., under date of Oct. 25, Mr. Frank E. Butler 
writes us as follows: "We finish out seventeenth year with the 
Wild West Company next week, at Danville, Va. Annie Oakley 
iMrs. Butler] will visit some friends at Buffalo, N. Y., for a few 
weeks' rest, which she needs badly, having shot more that 40,000 
smokeless shells this season. She will return to Nutlcy Nov. 1, 
when she will turn her attention to trapshooting again.' 
A match was arranged to take place at Interstate Park on 
Wednesday of this week between ex-Sheriff Creamer and Mr. T. 
W. Morfey on the one side and Messrs. C. A. Lockwood and 
Edward Banks en the other, 25 birds per man, |100 a side. It is 
a handicap event, the contestants standing at distances, as follows: 
Morfey, 30yds.; Creamer, 28yds.; Banks, 29yds.; Lockwood, 27yds. 
Mr. Justus Von Lengerke, of the firm of Von Lengerke & 
Detmold, spent a few days in the ruffed grouse section of Sullivan 
county, N. Y., last week, and succeeded in making a good bag 
<ot those elusive birds. He is eminently skillful with the sivotgxui 
in cover or open, or at the traps. 
At -Interstate Park, L. L, on Thursday of last week Messrs. E. 
Banks, G. Piercy and Mr. Herrington arranged for the third 
match between teams of New York and N«w Jersey, and fixed 
jjpoU Dec. 11 as the date. Each -team has one w'in to its credit' 
Messrs, Tatham Brothers, of 82 Beekman 8tree<^ York, have 
published a brochure of rare interest, in which is set fo^tfi a IM^l 
history of all the essentials of the Anglo-American trapshoMitfg 
match, from its inception to its conclusion. No detail is omitted. 
The scores made at both targets and live birds, loads, shells, etc., 
are all noted with painstaking care. It conclades with a niost 
iiitere'stihg article, commenting on the match, from the London 
Field. li will be sefit by Messrs. Tatham to all who apply for it.

Dr. George N. Thomas, the populalr and energetic member of 
the Trenton Shooting Association, has accepted the position of 
general manager of that organization, with Mr. William VYidmann 
as assistant manager. The Association will hold a sho«t on 
Thanksgiving Day of greater scope than any held theretofoi {!j 
The Associaiion is to be heartily congratulated on securing the 
active participation of Dr, Thomas in the management ot its 
affairs,

W'eclhfesdav of this week was the day fixed upon ilor a match,

place in December at John Watson's Park, and is now among the 
probabiliti*s. 
Mr. Geo Roll, shooting from the 30yd. mark, won the 25-live-

Trenton Shooting Association. 
Trentoh, N, J., Oct. 26.— A pleasing feature of the Trenton 
Shooting Associilioii's gathering, to-day wa.s the good i^ttenda"ce 
of visitors. The city championship cup excited special interest. 
The recent w^thd?awal oi Dr^ George N .Thomas from office 
was severely felt by the Association; and /"^ndly pressure was 
brought to bear on him to return to active leadership. It will be 
remembered that Dr. Thomas, though urgently mvited. to accept, 
declined a re-election to the secretaryship at the Association s re- 
cent election. The members positively refused to dispense with 
his services in an executive position, and to that end they created 
the office of general manager, and tendered that position to him. 
The board of governors drew up a set of rules that would govern 
the position of general manager and presented them to Dr. 
Thonias. He decided to accept them, and will start to act m that 
canacitv forthwith. His acceptance will be hailed with great de- 
hght by the members. Concerning his new otfioe he is quoted as 
saying: "I accepted the position, as the rnembers of the club were 
after me continually. I am jeopardizing my personal affairs 
seriouslv; but I like to see this city at the top of the shooting 
world, dnd for that reason I have taken the general managership 
of the Association, I will have William Widmann as my assistant 
'"Thlf club will hold a prize shoot; Thanksgiving Day that will be

ON LONG ISLAND,

friferstafe tafrfc, ,L. I., Oct. 24.— A high wind and gco^ biros made 
tstremelv difficult shooting. The match between Wynn and 
Moffsy is. Banks and Waters was won by the former by a score 
of 40 to 53 out of 50. Many of the lost birds were hard hit, bate 
being very stt'oiig, escaped out of bounds. Dr. Wynrt drew some 
particularly fast, sfrbng birds. The sweepstake events were •closely 
contested. Considering the quality of the birds and the strong
