STRATFORD GUN CLUB.
The Stratford Gun Club have been most successful in securing nominations for their £IOO pigeon match at Stratford on August 30, the names of as many as seventy gunmen, comprising the best shots in the North Island, appearing on the list. The back-markers are W. Woolven and L. P. Hughes on 31yds, with Tom Parker on 30, Fred. Whittle on 28, "Wildman" on 27, and "Ballistite" and 11. J. Nits', on 28 yards Besides these big guns, a host of shooters whose names are also household words in the shooting world' will be found on their marks on Wednesday next on the Showgrounds. A trip to Stratford to see the big shoot, followed by a day at the Hunt Club races at New Plymouth, will take a lot of beating for "a holiday if the weather is fine. Luncheon may be obtained on the Showgrounds at the shoot, and as the price of admission is one shilling and the total will be handed over to the local patriotic committee, it is expected that there will be a great gathering to witness the £IOO match at Stratford.
