DUNEDIN GUN CLUB.

FINAL SHOOT OF SEASON. The closing of the 1930 season attracted a record attendance of members to the Dunedin Gun Club's grounds on' Saturday, and several visitors were present. A strong breeze was blowing across the ground, and at intervals became very gusty, which made the clay birds speed fast and low. The first two matches consisted of nine-bird handicaps with four trophy prizes allotted to each, and the third match was a seven-bird contest for five prizes. Keen competition existed throughout each match, and the winners had to shoot off for their respective prizes. One of the ' conditions applying in “sheet” rules is that the gun be held below the elbow, and this ' style was adopted for each shoot off. In the first match H. Smellie (12yds) won first prize, J. A. Graham (15yds) second, W. Morland (11yds) third, and W. M'Breen (12yds) fourth.' The winners in the second match were A. J. White (12yds) 1, L. B. Wilson (11yds) 2, :W. M'Breen (13yds) 3, R. Aiteheson (11yds) 4. The results in the final match were: R. Maxwell (11yds) 1, E. P. Graham (22yds) 2, G. E. Turner (17yds) 3, A. A. Fairbairn (11yds) 5, R. 0. Greenslade (11yds) 5. The aggregate trophy for the member making the highest percentage throughout the season was won by E. P, Graham, and he will also hold the Rutherford Cup for the best performance with the first barrel in programme matches. IN A GOVERNMENT OFFICE. "Baxter’s" in Demand.
