DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Montclair, N. J., Gun Club closed its season on 
July 4. Competition will be resumed on Sept. 7. 
P, 
Secretary L. H. Schortemeier writes us that the Bergen 
Beach Gun Club will hold its annual Cosmopolitan 
Championship on Oct. 13 and 14. 
#5 
The shoots to take place on the Paleface shooting 
grounds, at Wellington, Mass., in the remainder of 
July are the Eastern Handicap, July 14-16; there will be 
an afternoon practice shoot on July 13, and afternoon 
shoots on July 22 and 29. 
P 
The mention, in our report of the G. A. H. last week, 
that Mr. Woolfolk Henderson broke his last 20 straight 
in the Preliminary Handicap, was erroneous. He scored 
94 all right and did not have to break 20 straight to ac¬ 
complish that feat. He is a great performer with the 
shotgun, as his scores in the competition amply prove. 
P 
It may be worth of passing mention that the 22yd. 
men, at the recent Grand American Handicap, numbered 
six, and that their scores were 87, 83, 84, 79, 91 and 71, 
an average of a fraction over 82 per cent. High score 
was 92. There were eight men on 21yds., whose scores 
were 84, 87, 87, 83 , 76, 88, 84 and 85, an average of 8414 
per cent. All of which goes to show that any chance 
to win back of 20yds. is of things exceedingly remote. 
P 
The Pahquioque Rod and Gun Club, of Danbury, 
Conn., has issued a programme for its shoot, July 18, 
open to all amateurs. There are ten events; five at 15 
and five at 20 targets, $1 and $1.30 entrance. Prizes 
valued at $250, presented by the club members and their 
friends, will be so arranged that every class of shooter 
will have a chance. Events 6 to 10, inclusive, 100 tar¬ 
gets, will constitute the competition for the champion¬ 
ship of the State and of Danbury, and a handicap for 
club members only. Events 8 to 10, inclusive, will con¬ 
stitute the five-man team contest. Ship shells, etc., pre¬ 
paid, to S. W. Tasch, 13 White street, Danbury. Shoot¬ 
ing begins at 10 o’clock. Secretary E. H. Bailey writes 
us that “this is the only registered tournament on this 
date in the United States, and as it comes two days 
after the Eastern Handicap, we ought to draw some 
from there.” 
* 
The third Eastern Handicap is the event of the com¬ 
ing week in the East. It will be held under the auspices 
of the Palefaces, at Boston, Mass., July 14, 15 and 16. 
There will be an added money attraction of $1,000. 
Sweepstake shooting will afford practice on the after¬ 
noon of July 13. On the first day, July 14, there will be 
ten 15-target events, one 10 double target event, and one 
event at 20 targets, use of both barrels. Six sweep- 
stake events—five at 15 and one at 20 targets—precede 
the Preliminary Handicap on the second day. The 
latter is open to amateurs, 100 targets, $7.00 entrance, 
handicaps 16 to 23vds., high guns, $100 added. Regular 
entries must be made at the cashier’s office ^before 5 
P. M., July 14. On the third day five 15-target events 
and one event at 10 pairs precede the Eastern Handi¬ 
cap on the third day, the latter being the main event 
of the tournament. Its conditions are 100 targets, $10 
entrance, handicaps 16 to 23yds., high guns, $200 added to 
the purse. Regular entries must be made at the cashier’s 
office on the shooting grounds before 5 P. M., July 15, 
after w'hich penalty entries may be made up to the time 
the first gun is fired in event 6, by paying $15 entrance. 
P 
The perfect management of the Grand American Handi¬ 
cap, at Columbus, O., week before last, added new 
laurels to the mammoth cluster already fairly won in 
the succession of past years by Manager Shaner as the 
greatest tournament manager in existence. While a 
tournament skilfully managed, is apparently one of the 
easiest of tasks to accomplish, it is in fact one of the 
most difficult. W eeks of preparatory work are im¬ 
peratively devoted to the clerical work, all of which 
must be up to the moment when the tournament opens. 
Then each department must run perfectly and ex¬ 
peditiously in respect to every circumstance within its 
scope, be the same small or great, and each also must 
co-ordinate promptly and accurately with every other 
department. After all departments are organized prop¬ 
erly, it is then an eajfy matter to run a tournament if 
one has three humble requisites, namely, the knowledge, 
the ability and the confidence and respect of the con¬ 
testants. Probably no more resourceful and nervy act 
was ever taken by a tournament manager than that of 
Mr. Shaner, when two sets of traps were out of com¬ 
mission. Instead of bewailing the loss or stopping for 
a general readjustment, he put on more steam and 
went on without them. All things are easy when one 
knows how and has the ability to back up the knowledge.

the Garfield Gun Club were dispensed with on Saturday, 
July 4, in favor of a merchandise prize shoot, all prize 
shoots being for 15 targets with handicaps of added

sible, yet some good scores were made and a good crowd 
was in attendance. The following were the scores made:
