Obviously, the shooters found the crossing shots still very tough, only hitting 15 of the 48 with four gunners drawing a complete blank, but I doubt if they were able to convince Major Bill Weeks that they presented a problem. The minutes of the day tell us that following the match, a ‘pool contest' was shot and that F. E. Dench Esq. was "a lucky beggar" because he shot well in the twilight, and won the 'pool.' Obviously the pool match referred to was some sort of winner-take-all event, but there is no evidence of scores, or participants.

A week later at a special club meeting H. S. Pethick was proposed as a possible member. Harry Pethick was the Charlottetown manager of the Bank of New Brunswick, which was located on the corner of Queen and Richmond Streets, in the building now occupied by H. L. Sear Ltd., a Bank that was soon to amalgamate with the Imperial Bank of Canada. Pethick's name was subjected to the beans, and the result was all white--he was now a member of Newstead.

The fourth and final Heartz Trophy match was held on Saturday, April 8th, and, although the weather was clear and bright, the Club for the first time had serious trouble with its traps. One was breaking targets quite consistantly on release, while on the other, the throwing arm had broken, and was temporarily repaired with a nail and some wire. The match however went on, and, following an exciting afternoon of shooting, it was again Major Bill Weeks who was the high gun, when he set a new club record, breaking 10 of the 12 clay pigeons.
