DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Columbus, O., Gun Club announces a shoot for 
July 4, Jack Rabbit system. 
The dates of the Worthington, Minn., Gun Club have 
been changed from June 19-20 to July 19-20. The Bir¬ 
mingham, Ala., Gun Club’s dates have been changed 
from July 21-22 to July 26-27. 
K 
The Ramapo Field Club, Pompton Lakes, N. J., an¬ 
nounces that the tournament, fixed to be held on June 11, 
was postponed to June 18 on account of bad weather. 
The members are working diligently to make the stay df 
the visitors pleasant, and the shoot a success. 
* 
The A. H. Fox Gun Co., 4670 N. 18th street, Philadel¬ 
phia, call especial attention, in our business columns, to 
the success of Mr. J. S. Dickey in winning the Western 
Handicap with a gun of their manufacture. They invite 
shooters to send for their art catalogue of Fox guns, sent 
free to applicants. 
The program of the Kenmore, N. D., Gun Club ama¬ 
teur tournament provides twelve 20-target events, $2 
entrance, each day, July 5 and 6. Events 5 and 10 each 
day are at 10 pairs. Competition is open to amateurs 
only. The Squier money-back system will be a feature. 
For high gun averages, $100; $100 added to Squier 
money-back system. 
The entries to the Grand American Handicap, to be 
held on the grounds of the Chicago Gun Club next week, 
numbered 323 up to June 13. This number is quite 
large enougn to make an interesting tournament. With 
some of the great entries of past years, there was much 
more of labor than of sport in the cumbersome com¬ 
petition. 
W 
The New York State shoot, running under its own 
steam, was a success. The three-mail team contest for 
the Dean Richmond cup, was won by Audubon team 
No. 1, with 72 out of 75. Onondaga four-man team won 
the Greater New York cup with 184 out f 200. Mr. F. 
S. Wright, of East Aurora, won high av and the 
H. W. Smith cup emblematic of the individual cham 
pionship. The place of holding the next shoot was left 
to the Directors. Mr. G. H. Pumpelly, of Owego, was 
elected President; Mr. J. H. Hendrickson, Vice-Presi¬ 
dent; and Mr. W. H. Hookway, Secretary-Treasurer. 
The Westy Hogans recently decided upon a most at¬ 
tractive and sensible program for their shoot at Atlantic 
City, N. J., on Sept. 8-10. Five sets of traps will be in¬ 
stalled on Young’s Pier, so that each squad will go 
down the line of traps once in the forenoon and once 
in the afternoon. Thus No. 1 squad starts in in the 
morning, shoots at the five sets of traps and is then 
done till about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the interven 
ing time being available for enjoying the attractions of 
Atlantic City. Each squad will have a knowledge of 
about when it is to be called, and can govern itself ac¬ 
cordingly, thus being free from the irksomeness inci¬ 
dent to long waiting. The Squier money-back system 
will be a feature. The program is specially devised for 
the middle class of shooters. Each day there will be 
five 15- and five 20-target events. The regular entrance 
in the money-back system will be a small amount, but 
those who wish may enter an optional $1 sweep, class 
shooting, 40, 30, 20 and 10. Also an optional $3 sweep 
on the total 175 targets each day, high guns; also a $3 
optional sweep on the last 100, high guns. If the shoot¬ 
ers desire, a $10 sweep on the entire program will be 
arranged. On the last day, the last 100 targets on the 
program will constitute the Westy Hogan champion 
ship. The prizes, valuable watch fobs, will be the same 
as last year, or equally as good. Thus, there is shoot¬ 
ing to suit the wishes of every kind of shooter.

Ramapo Field Club. 
Pompton Lakes, N. J., June 11. —The scores made to¬ 
day by the members of the club and visitors are very 
good, considering the conditions. We expected to have 
our sweepstake tournament to-day, and had everything in 
readiness, but the storm kept every out-of-town shooter 
away, and therefore we postponed it to the 18th, when 
we hope tO' have a large gathering. Our club house is 
quite finished and is a great improvement to the appear¬ 
ance of our grounds, as *well as being useful. We want 
to make this shoot a “hummer” even if it has been 
postponed, and we are working hard to make our club a 
place that shooters and visitors will be glad to remember 
and come again. 
In regard to the scores, as stated above, while they do 
not look big “on paper,” they are very creditable. A 
cold east wind blew across the grounds, accompanied by 
a misty rain, and it was anything but pleasant. Edw. 
Werner was shooting a new “pump” gun, and his scores 
show a decided improvement over anything he has done 
lately. Nobody was ab'e to make a straight string, al¬ 
though Capt. Money, Everitt and Colfax scored 24s. 
They all dropped one, unfortunately. 
Mr. P. L. Coffin, of Newark, N. J., was on the 
grounds in the morning. He came up for the tourna¬ 
ment. and when he found it was postponed, said he 
would like to shoot a few anyway, so- he and Colfax 
shot at 190 birds each, but by mutual consent, the 
scores are not to be published. They are a joke.

Frontier Rod and Gun Club. 
Buffalo, N. Y., June 13. —Rain threatened during the 
fore part of the afternoon, which undoubtedly was the 
cause for a poor attendance at the Frontier Rod and 
Gun Club regular shoot. A strong, shifty wind caused 
a very hard target, and kept the scores down.

Ohio State Shoot. 
The twenty-fourth annual tournament of the Ohio 
Trapshooters’ League was given on May 31, June 1, 2, 
3, at Cleveland under the auspices of the Cleveland Dun 
Club. the program was an attractive one. It should 
have drawn at least fitty more shooters than attended, 
and probably would have done so, but for the very coid 
and wet weather which prevailed during the week of the 
shoot. In the office were Messrs. A. L. V aupel and 
Charles Dissette, and on the last day L. \v. Cumoerland 
was a very welcome addition to the force. 
Between ninety and one hundred shooters took part. 
The ciub trophies, which are in competition this year, 
are displayed in cases, and appropriate pictures adorn 
the walls. 
Three traps are in place. There is a very good back¬ 
ground for them. The scores made during the tourna¬ 
ment were fully up to the average, and remarkably good 
work was done. vV. Pleer was high lor the three days, 
missing but 12 targets out ot 600, and making, also, the 
long run of the tournament, 104 . JO. Bins w'as second 
with 578. Wooifolk Henderson gave Heer a close race 
for long run, breaking 100 straight. Of the amateurs 
R. A. iving was high with 5i-i, third high score made 
for the thre days, F. Ellett, C. Powers and J. Jennings 
finishing with 069, 568 and 567 in the order given. C. 
Powers made the long amateur run, 82. J. oeakeslee, 
second, with 78. 
As is always the case when they are present at a 
tournament, Messrs. L. J. Squier and Burt Call rendered 
very valuable assistance to the office force, the former 
taking charge of score bulletin, and keeping the aver¬ 
age sheet up to date, and the latter doing a thousand and 
one things to lighten and expedite the work. L. YV. 
Cumberland was present the last day, and helped out 
with the financial end of the work. This meant that 
the shooters were paid off within a few minutes after 
the last squad had finished. These gentlemen certainly 
deserve the thanks of the management. 
The shoot closed about 4:30 on Friday, when the 
various trophies were presented to the winners. Good 
squad scores were made on the last day. No. 1, R. A. 
King, F. Le JNoir, F. Ellett, F. Bills, 20 each, YV. 
Henderson, 18—98, in event 5. In event 10, squad No. 1, 
R. Heikes, G. Miller, G. Volk, 20 each, E. O. YVhitb, 
19, P. McCarty 19—98. 
Charles North had charge of the traps, and hustled 
squads. If there is a better man to have around a shoot 
than Charlie, we’ve not seen him yet. 
A pleasing feature of the tournament, and one that 
proved a complete surprise to at least one man on the 
grounds, was the presentation of a cup to President E. 
S. Rogers, as a recognition of his enorts in arranging 
for the tournament. the cup was presented by Judge 
Ong, after a few words of praise and appreciation of 
the work done by Mr. Rogers, and was accepted by him 
with suitable acknowledgments. Manager F. H. 
Wallace was considerably busy evpry day. lie kept 
everything in apple-pie order. 
Practice Day. 
Tuesday was practice day, and a mighty poor day for 
shooting at that. So bad that many of the shooters who 
had arrived in the city refused to go and enjoyed them¬ 
selves at the hotels. Thirty-eight men came out to the 
grounds and shot the program of 100 targets, in the 
rain. In spite of the unfavorable weather, some go„d 
scores were made. F. Bills and H. D. Freeman tying 
on 99, the latter going straight in the first tour events. 
C. D. Henline, Bradlord, Fa., and J. A. Giichrist, a 
local shooter, were high amateurs on 95 each. B. S. 
Cooper and "F. Ellett, second, with 94 each. F. Le Aoir 
was second high profesional on 94. The famous band 
master, J. P. Sousa, was on hand in the rain and did 
not finish low man by any means. 
June 1, First D> y. 
Wednesday was the first day of the regular tourna¬ 
ment. The program was ten events at 20 targets each, 
entrance $20 for the day and $1.00 extra for low gun 
averages, added money $12.50 in each event. A gold 
trophy was presented to the high amateur of the day. 
A heavy rain fell nearly all day and delayed the shoot¬ 
ing as only one trap, the center, or No. 2, was used 
for some time. After a while a tent was put up- at 
No. 3 trap and a squad started there. The latter part 
of the afternoon a fiy-tent was erected at No. 1, and 
that trap was put in commission. All this caused a 
loss of time which could not be regained, and it was 
found necessary to stop the shoot with a part of event 
8 and all of Nos. 9 and 10 unfinished. Shooting began 
about 10 o’clock, and ninety-two shooters entered dur¬ 
ing the day, seventy-five shooting through. 1 he trophy 
for high amateur was won by C. Powers on a score of 
192. K. A. King and J. Jennings were close seconds 
with 191 each. W. Heer was high professional with 197, 
and F. Bills, second, with 193. The attendance on the 
first day this year seems to prove the wisdom of open¬ 
ing the purses to all amateurs. Now, if the club giving 
the next State tournament would go a step further and 
make it a “money-back” shoot, thereby doing something 
for the 80 per cent, or less, man, the attendance would 
be still larger and a much greater proportion would 
shoot through. Added money is a pleasing but delud¬ 
ing bait. The poor shot doesn’t get a cent of it, and 
therefore it is immaterial to him how large the amount, 
but in the money-back system, he may be sure that he 
is going to get the shooting at a minimum cost, all 
his losses being paid back, while the expert shot still 
gets his in the purse. The scores of those who shot 
through the program follow:
