—Hyndman and Richards as against 
     
     Macleod, Dodd 2 
     
    
   
   
    
     Secretary Francis Haszard did an excellent job of 
     
     documenting all the systems of handicapping, but even 
     
     this did not lessen the confusion. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The members were still not enthusiastic about 
     
     shooting 'bats,' and it was mid-March before any 
     
     interest could be mustered for another shoot, and then 
     
     only four members gathered at the West Street home of 
     
     President Davies to shoot targets out over the water. 
     
     On April 2nd a much larger group met at Fred W. 
     
     Hyndman's home on the Yorke River. The weather was 
     
     stormy and unpleasant, but Louis Henry Davies again 
     
     was the top marksman, breaking 14 bats out of 20. A 
     
     distressed Hobkirk retired from the shooting field 
     
     after seven shots, when he had managed to hit only 
     
     two. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Fred Hyndman's home was called Watermere, and was 
     
     located on the shore of the Yorke River, or North 
     
     River as we know it today, ona large tract of land 
     
     between the Brighton Road and Yorke Lane. It remained 
     
     the family residence until Mrs. Hyndman decided it was 
     
     too far out of town and elected to move closer to the 
     
     centre of the city. One hundred years later, 
     
     Watermere still stands on the shore at the end of the 
     
     Brighton Road, and is currently under restoration. It 
     
     should be noted that many farms, fashionable homes, 
     
     and estates of the day were given names to identify 
     
     them. Many of these names are in evidence today, 
     
     having come through to this generation as the 
     
     origional homesteads, institutions, streets, municipa- 
     
     lities, etc.--names that continue to create a link 
     
     with the nineteenth century. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The final shoot of the season was another 
     
     milestone, in that it was the first time a day's 
     
     competition was shot in two matches. The first at ten 
     
     "bats' each, and the second, eight. There were no 
     
     gross prizes, but the best marksmen, with 12, were
