     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.
