DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Two things to tack up in your gun cabinet: May 
14-16, seventh Southern Handicap, Interstate Associa¬ 
tion, Columbus, Ga., and on your way back, Ohio 
State shoot, Dayton, O., June 4-7, under auspices 
N. C. R. Gun Club. 
A new gun club is well under way at Olneyville 
Station, Providence, R. I. Charles Gans is the moving 
spirit, and as he is a hustler, it is safe to predict a 
live organization within a short time. Already a dozen 
applications for membership have been made.

First registered tournament of the Connecticut Trap- 
-Shooters’ League will be held May 4, under the auspices 
of the Bethel (Conn.) Gun Club. There will be four 
merchandise events—Classes A, B, C and D, with hand¬ 
some prizes in each event. Further information from 
Secretary C. K. Bailey, Bethel, Conn. 
The selection of C. W. Billings, Dr. R. H. Sayre, Dr. 
G. M. Hamilton, and Lieut. A. Jones as members of 
executive committee of Olympic games is an excellent 
one. The first three named are among the foremost 
trapshooters in this country, while Lieut. Jones has no 
superior as an authority on rifle and revolver matters. 
The Hercules Gun Club, of Temple, Pa., will hold a 
grand installation shoot on Saturday, May 18, on their 
grounds. Temple, Pa. Program calls for 100 targets, at 
one cent each, with $1 sweeps in each event in five 
strings of 20 targets, to be thrown from a new Ideal 
Leggett trap with 16yds. rise and 50yds. flight. Per¬ 
centage system prevails, and Interstate Association 
rules govern. Any information can be had by addressing 
A. K. Ludwig, Secretary, 222 Greenwich street, Read¬ 
ing, Pa.

The Chicago Gun Club announces the following big 
shoots during the year 1912: May 12, third annual inter¬ 
state five-man team match and individual championships; 
June 15-16, Grand Chicago Handicap; Aug. 10-11, two- 
day registered tournament; October —, Middle West 
Championship. The officers of the club are; C. P. 
Zacher, President; W. F. Riley, Vice-President; W. A. 
Davis, Treasurer; E. B. Shogren, Secretary, 840 First 
National Bank Building. Tournament Committee: W 
A. Davis, Chairman; E. B. Shogren, W. S. Cutler, C. 
W. May, Geo. Eck. 
Let’s blame it on the printer. In our issue of April 
13, I referred to the amateur championship shoot at 
Travers Island as “national amateur championship,’’ 
when it should have been designated “seventh amateur 
championship at clay birds.” The national amateur 
Hyde Park Gun Club. 
The club has really started its weekly shoots for 
the season, and were favored with ideal weather on 
April 20. The attendance was fair, a dozen shooters 
taking part in the events, some of them for the first 
time since last fall. As the season passes a big im¬ 
provement will be noticed in the scores of several who 
are now out of practice. Irwin was high gun to-day, 
defeating Hammerschmidt, the crackerjack of this sec¬ 
tion, by one target. The latter braced up after the 
second event and finished with a perfect score, Irwin 
making the only other perfect s.core of the afternoon. 
Milt Johnson shot a very even gait, but a slight stumble 
in the fourth event put him in third place instead of 
in a tie for second. Welsh has not been out for months, 
so that his score was a good one, even though a little 
lower than he makes when in practice. Hill shoots too 
little to keep in trim. More practice would place him 
nearer the top. Rugg still gets out occasionally, but he 
doesn’t put up the scores he used to when he was a 
regular. Dr. Phillips came out to-day to get things 
in working order, and went into one event with fair 
results for one who has shot so little in the past year. 
The Oskamps are both new at the game, though good 
field shots, and require only a little regular practice to 
make good at the traps. Frohliger had an assistant 
to-day, and was able to get in several events. Gener¬ 
ally he is too busy scoring, etc., to do much shooting. 
The team match was a hot one, while it lasted, the win¬ 
ning team having only one target to the good at the 
finish. A team match with Sam Lever and his bunch 
of Goshen crack shots is being arranged for, and will 
be a feature of the near future. Scores:

“the New York Athletic Club’s amateur championship 
of America” and “Interstate Association national ama¬ 
teur championship”—make it so.

Mrs. Harriet Kirkwood, widow of David Kirkwood, 
before his death a prominent gun maker and trapshooter 
of Boston, Mass., passed away at her home in Malden, 
Mass., Monday, April 15, in her seventy-first year. Two 
sons—William and Horace C.—two daughters—Mrs. Will 
K. Park and Mrs. Harriet J. Miller—and four grand¬ 
children, survive her. The younger son, Horace, was 
called from Michigan by the death of his mother, and 
he arrived Thursday morning in time for the funeral. 
Among the many floral tributes was a large wreath of 
white roses and English violets sent by the Paleface 
Shooting Association, of Boston. The body was taken 
to the Forest Plills Crematory, ■ and the ashes will be 
placed with those of David Kirkwood, in the Colum¬ 
barium, since 1897.

Gadsden Gun Club. 
■ Gadsden, Ala., April 18.—The Gadsden Gun Club held 
its first shoot of the season yesterday at Elliott Park. 
On account of the inclement weather there was not a 
full attendance. A high wind made the clay birds vary 
a good deal, and considering this fact, some fairly good 
scores were made. J. S. Paden \yas high gun, and he 
also made the only run of 25 straight. 
The club shoots will be held regularly hereafter on 
Thursday, and evervone is cordially invited to witness 
these shoots. The following scores were made to-day:
