DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
Owing to the wide devastation in the Ohio and IMis- 
sissippi valleys, and to the task of caring for hundreds 
of flood-stricken people, the Hickman (Ky.) Gun Club 
has considered it advisable to cancel its tournament 
registered for June 12-14. 
B. R Buffham writes from Roswell. New Mexico: “To¬ 
day I am the dean of -American trapshooters. I put up 
the first ground traps in 1865 at Hoboken cricket 
grounds, New York. I do not know of any left. We 
met at Harry Hill’s. First lot of birds came from 
Buffalo. I met Bogardus in Chicago, about 1874.” 
Mr. Elmer E. Shaner writes us as follows; “Our mail¬ 
ing list, covering programs for the Grand -American 
Handicap tournament, has reached such proportions that 
we are compelled to revise it to keep within our limit 
of five thousand programs, consequently some sportsmen 
will not receive programs this year who regularly re¬ 
ceived them in the past. We will be glad, however, to 
mail a copy of this year’s program to any person writing 
for one.” 
K 
The New Jersey State Sportsmen’s Association will hold 
its ninth annual tournament on the grounds of the 
Smith Gun Club, of Newark, N. J., June 6 - 8 , and great 
preparations are being made in anticipation of its being 
a record-breaker for New Jersey. The tournament will 
be conducted under the Squier money-back system, and 
with the various added moneys is creating lots of inter¬ 
est, and all the cracks in the State are pairing up for the 
two and three-man team trophies, and wondering who 
is going to get the much-contested State championship 
cup that has been shot for more times in the last three 
years than in all its history. There will be a merchan¬ 
dise event to wind up the day’s shooting of good and 
useful articles, well worth taking home. Active prepara¬ 
tions are going on on the grounds to get everything just 
right, having profited by last year’s experience. -All 
events (except the State championships) will be open 
to amateurs from everywhere, and everything will be 
done to make everybody welcome. In the shoot of last 
year, after all losses had been paid to those who had 
not won back their entrance there was over $150 to be 
divided among the high guns who shot through the 
three days’ program. So, if you think you can shoot 
some, come to Newark on June 6 , 7, and 8 , and help to 
make things interesting. Programs are ready for dis¬ 
tribution, and any who have not received one may have 
one or more sent on receipt of postage to Chas. T. Day, 
Secretary-Treasurer, 618 North Seventh street, Newark, 
New Jersey. \V. G. Beecroft.
