guests, and an exciting social gathering was planned. 
     
     Shooting scores were not recorded on the day the 
     
     officers of H.M.S. Cornwall visited Inkerman, but 
     
     there are indications that the visitors found 
     
     trapshooting more than a challenge, and that socially 
     
     it was an event to remember, with many members 
     
     arriving home rather late in the evening, much to the 
     
     distress of other members of the family!! 
     
    
   
   
    
     The final shoot of the year, the last match of 
     
     the Heartz competition, was held at Inkerman on 
     
     Saturday, May 18th, and when the day was done all of 
     
     the club prize winners for the year had been decided. 
     
     Major Charles Leigh had won the Heartz competiton, and 
     
     the new Greener gun that Frank Heartz had donated to 
     
     it. Runner-up was Al Hyndman, and Eardley Hyndman 
     
     finished third. Fourteen club members had 
     
     participated in the matches this year, with higher 
     
     average scores than in 1911l...but no one had yet 
     
     achieved the perfect score of 12 straight targets, and 
     
     the record was still 10. The winner of the Dominion 
     
     Cartridge Gun Case was John Hyndman, and the silver 
     
     flask went to Capt. Ernest Peake who was the top 
     
     scorer in the 75% category. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Again this year, the members tendered Frank 
     
     Heartz a banquet in appreciation for his donation and 
     
     contribution to the success of the Club. The dinner 
     
     was held at Blake House and the "Island Patriot", on 
     
     June 13th, reported on it as follows; 
     
    
   
   
    
     "The dinning room of the Blake Hotel of 
     
     this city was the scene of a very enjoyable 
     
     function last evening, when a complimentary 
     
     banquet was tendered by the members of the 
     
     Newstead Gun Club to their popular vice- 
     
     president, Mr. Frank R. Heartz. The chair 
     
     was taken by Mr. F. W. Hyndman, President of 
     
     the Club. After the excellent menu had been 
     
     disposed of the evening was pleasantly spent 
     
     in speeches, making songs, recitations, and 
     
     other forms of entertainment. The toast to
