DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Tri-State Automobile and Sporting Goods Association pro- 
gramme for the tournament to be held under its auspices, Feb. 
10 to 14, Detroit, Mich., is specially attractive to trapshooters. 
Some of the main events are as follows: Sportsmen's handicap 
live-bird championship trophy; International live-bird trophy; 
Sportsmen's handicap target championship trophy; Sportsmen's 
expert target championship trophy — all to become the property; of 
the winner, except the International trophy. There also is the 
Sportsmen's Gi-and Handicap, 25 live birds, $35 entrance, birds 
included; handicaps 20 to 32yds.; International live-bird event, 15 
birds, $15 entrance; .Sportsmen's grand handicap target champion- 
ship event, 100 targets, which is split up into 20-target events; 
and the Sportsmen's expert target championship event, 50 targets, 
split into two 25-target events. It may not be amiss to mention 
that a handicap is not a championship, nor can the term be 
properly used in that connection. High guns will govern in 
live-bird events; Rose system in target competition. Target 
handicaps, 16 to 21yds. ; live-bird handicaps, 26 to 32yds. Average 
money each day, and grand average trophy. Added money, $500. 
All entries for Grand Sportsmen's Handicap at live birds must 
be made on application blanks, a copy of which will be found in 
each programme, for which address the secretary, Seneca Lewis, 
P. O. Box 5, Detroit, Mich.

Messrs. J. A. R. Elliott and J. Hildreth are visitors in New 
York at present. The former has recovered with astonishing 
quickness from the surgical operation for the removal of tumors 
from his shoulder, which he underwent in Cincinnati, O., a few 
weeks ago. There was more than one tumor, and some rather 
deep cutting was necessary to remove them. With true gameness, 
he refused to be coiisidered an invalid, and was up and about 
soon after the operation. 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner, secretary-manager of the Interstate Asso- 
ciation, sent us the following communication under date of Jan. 3: 
"Please announce in the trap department of Forest and Stream 
that the Interstate Association has made arrangements to give a 
tournament at Warm Springs, Ga., June 16-19, under the auspices 
of the Meriwether Gun Club, and for one at Viroqua, Wis., July 
30-Aug. 1, under the auspices of the Viroqua Rod and Gun Club." 
At the shoot of the Poughkeepsie Gun Club, held on Jan. 1, the 
Intercounty cup match was of special interest. As a result, the 
cup meandered back to Ossining. There were seven men on a 
side, 25 targets per man, and Ossining scored 154 to 133. It 
seems as if Poughkeepsie will not rest calmly under present con- 
ditions, hence will send an expedition to Ossining to recapture 
the cup.

Three of the Messrs.. Mallory brothers and Mr. Stewart, of

held in New York last week, Mr. Edward Banks resigned as 
secretary of the Association, and Mr. Eliner E. Shaner was 
unsnimously elected secretary. Mr. Shaner is now both manager 
and secretary, and his ability to fill both positions eHiciently is 
beyond question.
