TRAP SHOOTING

CHRISTCHURCH GUN CLUB ANNUAL CHRISTMAS MATCHES A successful afternoon was held by the Christ church Gun Club on tlio Sockburn grounds, when the annual Christmas matches were shot off.

Four matches were hold of nine clay birds each off handicap marl;*, prize-winners in each match being penalised in the following matches: First prize, 4 yards; second prize, 3 yards; third p;rije. 2 yards; and others, 1 "yard. All possibles were shot off, shooters going back two yards after each break An aggregate prize of a largo Christmas cake for the highest total over the four matches was won by John Brightling with :>4 breaks out of a possible 30.
