DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Preparations are now under way for the second annual 
championship under the auspices of the New York 
Athletic Club. A beautiful cup will be specially made 
for this event. 
K 
The North Side Rod and Gun Club, of Paterson, N. J., 
have arranged to hold a shoot on Thanksgiving Day. 
Refreshments will be served free to contestants. Am¬ 
munition will be for‘sale on the grounds. Visitors are 
welcome. 
The October cup competition at the shoot of the New 
York Athletic Club, Travers Island, has been of a high 
order. The first win was scored by Mr. J. W. Hibbard, 
the second win by Mr. H. E. Deming, the third, on Sat¬ 
urday of last week, by Mr. Stewart Scott, with a full 
score of 50. 
The Treasurer, Wm. Kussmaul, writes us that “The 
North Caldwell, N. J., Gun Club will hold an all-day 
tournament on Election Day, Nov. 6, in their new and 
commodious club house on Mountain avenue. This will 
be the initial shoot on the new grounds, and we trust 
there will be a good attendance, as we need the money. 
Several chickets, etc., have been donated to the club to 
be offered as prizes.”

The Liberty, Ind., Gun Club, is arranging to hold a 
shoot on Nov. S and 9. Mr. E. Post is the manager. 
V, 
The Jackson Park Gun Club, of Paterson, N. J., con¬ 
templates an active season of trapshooting this fall and 
winter. Besides the regular series of shoots, two or 
more tournaments will probably be given. A special 
shoot for Thanksgiving Day is under consideration. 
Many of the club members are absent, some on business 
trips, others have moved away; hence the shooting con¬ 
ditions have changed very much thereabouts.

Concerning the libel of Annie Oakley (Mrs. F. E. 
Butler), which was so industriously circulated through 
much of the daily press some time ago, word comes to 
us'that she recently won a libel suit against one of the 
yellow journals of Chicago. The verdict was for $27,500, 
quite an important sum, yet nothing in comparison to 
the anguish of spirit which the sensitive little lady 
suffered from the libel. Our readers will recall that a 
woman was arrested in Chicago, and certain of the daily 
press published far and wide that the woman was Annie 
Oakley, the famous rifle shot. At that time Annie 
Oakley was in the East, and, aside from the moral im¬ 
possibility of her being involved in such a happening 
under any circumstances it was also a physical impossi¬ 
bility.
