     The final competition of 1889 was called for at 
     
     Arthur Peters', four days before Christmas. Only six 
     
     of the more reliable members showed up to shoot at 
     
     sixty targets total, in a three-man team match of 
     
     singles, coupled with one pair of doubles. The lack 
     
     of interest was of major concern to the new club 
     
     president. Since it was too late to consider the 
     
     annual Boxing Day competition, he worked hard to 
     
     organize a good event on New Year's Day, and made 
     
     personal calls to the homes of all members encouraging 
     
     them to come to his house on January lst, 1890. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Relative to the letter that had been mailed by 
     
     the Secretary to the gun club in Halifax, there is no 
     
     record that a response was ever received. But one of 
     
     the members who had visited the area reported that the 
     
     mode of trapshooting in the area was the same as it 
     
     was in Charlottetown...single trap, single station. 
     
    
   
   
    
     New Year's was a beautiful, cold, clear day, and 
     
    
   
   
    
     according to the Club's competition report the 
     
     sleighing was excellent. President Arthur Peters was
