The first match was won by T. Skippage, with a possible, C. Moore and H. Smith being runners-up, with 13 each. In the second match, C. Moore registered a possible, T. Skippage being runner-up with 14. This type of sport is becoming very popular,' and with the addition of the electric "skeet"- outfit recently installedthe club is now in .a position to offer many variations in the afternoon's sport. As in clay-bird shooting, thn "birds" thrown from the skeet traps are also made of clay, and as this particular type of shooting more closely resembles actual field conditions, there is every reason for it becoming so popular with members.
