DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
There must be some mistake about that poetic line— 
“The poor we have always with us,” ’cause Annie Oakley 
is one good shooter, and she’s still with us. Like Buf¬ 
falo Bill, Lily Langtry and the divine Sarah Bernhardt, 
she makes her last appearance every little while. This 
time Miss Oakley shines with Young Buffalo’s Wild 
West, at present strolling around in Georgia. 
Elmer E. Shaner sends word that the places for hold¬ 
ing the Grand American Handicap, Eastern Handicap, 
Western Handicap, Southern Handicap, and Pacific 
Coast Handicap tournaments next year will be decided 
at the annual meeting of the Interstate Association, 
scheduled for Dec. 7 next. Gun clubs that intend ap¬ 
plying for any of said tournaments should send their 
application to the undersigned, at 219 Coltart avenue, 
Pittsburgh, Pa., so that they will reach him on or be¬ 
fore Dec. 1. 
*» 
If the following story from the New York Sun can be 
verified, and some of the breeding stock captured from 
the Lawton, Okla., squad, every gun club may now 
have a corps of ants trained to save the lead after each 
shoot: “Lawton, Okla., Oct. 30.—Fred W. March gath¬ 
ered up 1301bs. of shot from an ant hill in the Fair 
grounds in Lawton to-day. Ninety days ago he gathered 
681bs. of shot from the same ant hill. The State Gun 
Club shoot was held there this year, and the shot was 
collected by the ants and piled around the tunnel en¬ 
trances to their hill.” 
* 
The trapshooter generally is more or less interested 
in quail, partridge and other field shooting. In this 
connection, just let me tell you that the manager of the 
Information Department of this paper knows a bunch 
about shooting. He knows a lot of good covers, and as 
he is no tight-wad, he always has a cover laid for those 
who ask him about it. He put me on to some duck 
shooting on Long Island last Wednesday that opened 
my eyes—and I’ve done a small amount of ducking in 
this section before. If you have a few days’ leisure, ask 
him where to spend it.

Northern Kentucky Gun Club. 
1 here was a very good attendance at the weekly shoot 
on Oct. 29, as matters in the trapshooting sport have 
been going in this vicinity for some time past. Holaday 
is once more making his headquarters here, and J. S. 
Day recently moved here from Texas, so that we can 
count on having these two popular trade representa¬ 
tives with us each week, and they will shoot as long as 
any one will go to the score with them. The local 
members are interested in other things, and have, for the 
time being, given up indulging in what was once their 
favorite sport. 
In the shoot to-day, Day and Holaday were high men, 
86 and 87 respectively out of 100, and in the trophy shoot, 
47 and 45. In this event they were not eligible 'to win, 
and the leg for the trophy was a tie between Dameron 
and Irwin, on 38, the former shooting from 18yds., and 
the latter from 16. There have been five matches for 
the trophy so far, Dameron being in the lead with three 
wins and one tie. Contestants must shoot in at least 
ten of the sixteen scheduled matches, and may count 
their ten best scores if they participate in more. Shoot¬ 
ing at It pairs of doubles, Dav broke 12 and Holaday 14. 
Irwin shot at 10 pairs, breaking 8 targets. 
The last money-back tournament of the season will be 
held on Nov. 5. In addition to the ten 15-target events 
of the regular program, there will be a special 25-target 
event for a valuable trophy. The club trophy event, 
which is being run off each week, is open to every one, 
no entrance fee, but the price of the targets being 
charged. There are something over a dozen shooters 
who have started in this event, and who have still time 
to shoot the 
required 
ten 
matches. Scores:

AnalosUn Gun Club. 
.Washington, D. C., Oct. 29.—The Analostan Gun 
Club closed its regular season yesterday. The weather 
was threatening, the afternoon cool and raw, and the 
attendance was smaller than usual. The members con¬ 
tested for four silver spoons at 50 targets. Miles Taylor 
won in Class A, scoring 47; C. B. Wise in Class B with 
42; Dufour and Stine tied for Class C spoon on 37 , and 
tossed up for it, Stine winning; Gen. Sharpe won the 
Class D spoon with 25. He shoots a very light load in 
a light field gun, and of course is greatly handicapped. 
Uncle Billy Wagner shot a 2%dr. load and l%oz of shot 
and did good work with it. Following are the scores: ’

Indianapolis Gun Club. 
The regulars were not as strong as usual on Oct. 21, 
because perhaps of a bad light, and we had a number of 
beginners, so the average of targets broken was less 
than usual. But there will be better days, and the 
young folks will do better.

-Professor 
Smoke, 
having seen the 
corn 
prop- 
erly shocked and the pumpkins shucked, picked up the 
Forest and Stream, and noting that the young folks— 
and some others—were in need of a pattern, came to 
town and set one that is good to look at. His 98 took 
the silver spoon from the very lips of Parry.
