DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The secretary of the Columbus (O.) Gun Club advises 
us that the date of their shoot should be changed from 
June 15 to June 18. 
* 
E. W. Poindexter, secretary of the Roanoke (Va.) Gun 
Club, advises that they have registered their annual 
tournament for July 4 under the Interstate Association. 
They hope for a successful meeting. 
The secretary of the Aitkin Gun Club, Minnesota, 
advises us that that club will hold a registered State 
tournament July 11 and 12, at which time the State 
diamond badge, now held by R. D. Guptill, will be shot 
for. Mr. Guptill will not contest for the diamond badge. 
The Harshman (O.) Gun Club has arranged for a shoot 
on Decoration Day. Four events at 15 and four at 10 
targets, entrance $5 for the program, divided 35, 30, 20 
and 15 per cent. Shooting will start at 9:30 in the morn¬ 
ing, and lunch will be served at the grounds. 
n 
Shooters will do well to note the changes of date of 
the Janesville (Wis.) Gun Club from May 26-27 to June 
3-4; of the Rawlinsville (Pa.) Gun Club’s registered tour¬ 
nament from May 26 to June 8; and of the Rogers 
Spring (Tenn.) Gun Club’s registered tournament from 
June 16-17 to July 6-7-8. 
The seventh annual tournament of the New Jersey 
State Sportsman’s Association will be held under the 
auspices of the Atlantic City Gun Club, at Atlantic City, 
N. J., June 1, 2, 3 and 4. The prizes of cash mer¬ 
chandise and trophies aggregate over $1,000, and of these 
the most important is the world’s amateur championship 
prize, the Atlantic City cup. This cup is of silver, 13 
inches high, 11 inches across the bowl, and has a value 
of $300. It is to be shot for annually at Atlantic City 
in June until won three times by the same man, which 
gives permanent ownership. The winner each year is 
to give a bond for the return of the cup in June. In 
this competition 100 targets are to be shot at annually. 
The Atlantic City Gun Club has made every preparation 
for giving shooters a .good time; as is shown in their 
program just issued. 
Mr. W. S. Colfax, Jr., sends us the program for the 
Ramapo Field Club’s shoot in June. There will be 
twenty target events, and the entrance, including en¬ 
trance to trophy shoot will be $16; the entrance for the 
sweepstakes only $15. Events 6 to 10, at 100 targets, will 
be the trophy shoot for a handsome cup donated by the 
club. This will be a handicap shoot. The handicapping 
will be “dead bird,” on the Du Pont percentage system. 
Paid professionals may shoot for targets only. All in¬ 
formation may be had from W. S. Colfax, Jr., Pompton 
Lakes, N. J., to whom also guns, shells, etc., may be 
shipped. In case of rain the shoot will be held the 
following Saturday. Everything is arranged to run 
smoothly, and people who attend this shoot will be likely 
to not miss the following shoots given by this club. In 
summer weather the attractions offered by the Ramapo 
Field Club ought to attract a multitude of shooters. 
The G. A. H. Program. 
The Interstate Association’s Eleventh Grand American

will carry over until the next day. Copies of the program 
will be mailed on application to the Secretary-Manager. 
“The program of this tournament is not materially 
different from that of its predecessor, held last year. 
That program was so happily devised that it won the 
approval and support of the trapshooting fraternity to a 
marked degree. If the details of the program are 
scanned, it will be found that the interests of the ama¬ 
teur have been carefully considered. The schedule of 
events, in the main, follows the policy adopted by the 
Interstate Association in respect to its Grand American

tice to be popular, equitable and successful.’’
