CLAY BIRD MEET.

Chirstchurch Club Holds Annual Shoot.

The Christchurch Gun Club held their annual Christmas shoot at Sockburn this afternoon. There were four matches of nine clays each. There was a large entry and shooting conditions were good, with good visibility. A gentle breeze made the birds rise slightly, although later the sky clouded over and affected the visibility. Owing to the large entry and the number of matches, the leading competitors agreed to draw for prizes in the first match, which resulted as follows: —J. Sirfipson 1, E. Gee 2, A. E. Brightling 3, A* F. Barnett 4, F. Powell 5. T. Potts 6, L. A. Shaw 7, T. Graham 8. F. Truscott 9, C. E. Brown 10, R. S. Taylor 11, E. Hammond 12, W. R. Heney 13, A. Matson 14.
