DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The Crescent Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, L. I., will 
begin its shooting season on the Bay Ridge grounds, 
Nov. 6. *

Secretary-Manager Elmer E. Shaner writes us that in 
the week ending Oct. 16 the Star Gun Club, of Eliza¬ 
beth, N. J. (W. H. Manning, Secretary), has registered 
a tournament, to be held on Nov. 20. 
at 
“Smokeless Shots,” for October, contains much useful 
information, the comments on small-bores being con¬ 
spicuous for their sound knowledge and common sense.

Mr. Charles T. Day, Jr., successfully defended his 
title for the fourth time as champion of New Jersey, 
on the grounds of the Smith Gun Club, on Saturday of 
last week. Mr. E. Cahr, of the Newton Gun Club was 
the challenger. The contest was at 50 targets, Day 
scoring 47 to his opponent’s 38. 
at 
The opening shoot of the Cincinnati, O., Gun Club, 
Oct. 28, will have a merchandise event, 50 targets, on the 
programme with which ninety prizes will reward the high 
guns. This abundance indicates a prize for every con¬ 
testant. The programme totals 150 targets, in 15 and 
20 target events, with $1 optional sweeps in each event. 
The New York Athletic Club will hold its amateur 
championship on Dec. 8 and 9, on the club grounds at 
Travers Island. This is an earlier December date than 
that of last year, which happened to coincide with a 
blizzard. The earlier date has a better chance of good 
weather. The first day will be assigned to the 100-target 
preliminary contest; the second to the championship.

Mr. William Pechmann, of Camden, N. J., won the 
100-target event on the grounds of the South End Gun 
Club, Oct. 16, by breaking 90. The contest was for 
the championship of South Jersey, trapshooters south 
of Trenton being eligible. Of the professionals present 
Messrs. Lester S. German and J. Mowell Hawkins were 
first and second with respectively 94 and 93. A high 
wind made difficult shooting.

The third cosmopolitan championship of the Bergen 
Beach, L. I., Gun Club, Oct. 12, had sixty-eight ama¬ 
teur contestants, and nine professionals participated. 
Mr. Louis Colquitt, of the Montclair Gun Club, and for 
many years past known as a high class man with the 
shotgun, tied with Secretary L. H. Schortemeier, on 92. 
Mr. Schortemeier also is a most redoubtable contestant, 
Therefore it is not to be wondered at that the first 
shoot-off resulted in a tie on 21 out of 25. Mr. Colquitt 
won in the second shoot-off, 22 to 19. Thus the cup 
went to Mr. Colquitt, and the beautiful cut-glass tankard 
and glasses went to Mr. Schortemeier. Mr. C. W. Bill¬ 
ings, of the New York Athletic, was alone with 91 for 
third, while fourth and fifth was a tie between Mr. Geo. 
H. Piercy, of the Jersey City Gun Club, and Mr. H. A. 
Groesbeck, Jr., of the North River Gun Club, the shoot- 
off resulting in favor of Piercy, 23 to 21. Of the nine
