DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Scores not in hand Monday of this week were neces¬ 
sarily omitted because our forms closed a day early on 
account of Lincoln’s Birthday. Send along your score, it 
will run next week. 
Chas. W. Gardiner, Secretary Holland Gun Club, 
Batavia, N. Y., writes us: “Eleventh annual tournament 
—Western New York Championship—of the Holland 
Gun Club, has been registered by the Interstate Asso¬ 
ciation, and will take place on Aug. 13. Our season 
begins the second Saturday in April.” 
The following telegram was received from Brother 
Covert, dated Lockport, N. Y., Feb. 6.: “Kindly cor¬ 
rect report of last week regarding my shooting off tie 
with Allen Heil at Pinehurst. I stood at 18 yards, not 
20, as reported. Have too much respect for Mr. Heil’s 
ability as a shooter to make any concessions.” 
W. G. Beeoroft. 
Westwood (Ohio) Gnn Club. 
There was a big gathering at the weekly shoot on 
Feb. 2, twenty-five members taking part in the events. 
On Feb. 1 the weather was so cold, close to the zero 
mark, with a cold wind sweeping down off the hills, 
that few came out, and only four even tried to do any 
shooting. One event was enough for them, and their 
scores were not near up to their mark. On the 2d 
H. Carson did the best work, breaking 72 per cent, of 
his targets. ■'The club is increasing in membership, and 
the series for the Du Pont trophy, which was started 
on the 2d, has awakened a new interest. This is a han¬ 
dicap shoot, the member who shows the largest per¬ 
centage of improvement since he began to be declared 
the winner. Scores follow:

Larchmonf Y. C. 
Larohmont, N. Y'., Feb. 8. —Under conditions that 
were ideal for the sport, the trapshooters of the Larch- 
mont Y. C. used up some 5,000 clay birds to-day at their 
weekly shoot, and in the eleven matches decided many 
full scores were returned. 
The feature of the day was the work of young Ralph 
K. Spotts, the 12-year-old son of Ralph L. Spotts, the 
well-known prize winner. Shooting against fourteen 
others, including his father, young Spotts, with a handi¬ 
cap of 8, returned a full score of 25 in the match for a 
special trophy, tving two of the crack shots of the club— 
\V. J. Elias and F. \V. Fitzgerald. In the shoot-off 
he won the prize. In the next contest for the visitors’ 
trophy, the young Nimrod again shot a full score, this 
time tying four men—W, J. Elias, S. Halstead, E. Gross 
and W. E. Ferguson. In the shoot-off the boy again 
won from Ferguson by one bird. 
Ralph L. Spotts not only took high gun for the 
day, with a total of 130 out of 150, but he won the 100- 
target handicap. Shooting from scratch he broke 89 
clay birds. D. E. McMahon broke 134, but being a 
visitor, was not eligible. W. J. Elias was second 
with 129. 
There were three take-home trophies shot for. The 
first was taken by F. VV. Fitzgerald after a shoot-off 
with R. K. Spotts; the second went to J. Henry with 
a full score of 25, and the third was captured by W. 
T. Elias, who also won the leg for the monthly cup. 
"The leg for the accumulation cup was won by R. Jones, 
who also won the 10-target scratch contest. D. F. Mc¬ 
Mahon was the winner of the 15-target scratch contest, 
with a full score.
