     It is interesting to note, and compare, these 
     
     costs to the inflated figures of 1982. Similar 
     
     expenditures today would exceed $2,000, and their 
     
     total postage expenses would provide only 50% of the 
     
     cost of one stamp...There was no waste--these 'sports' 
     
     of the Newstead Gun Club represented the more 
     
     successful element of Charlottetown's society, but 
     
     when it came to saving pennies for their club they 
     
     were as frugal as anyone. An example of this is the 
     
     fact that the last thing done following each day's 
     
     shooting was to pick up the unbroken targets for reuse 
     
     the following week...a habit that is more important 
     
     today than ever before. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Also, in December, the first Newstead Club 
     
     classification sheets were issued, using the average 
     
     scores made in 1912 as the basis of selection. The 
     
     Newstead membership was divided into three shooting 
     
     categories: Classes I, II, and III. The intention was 
     
     that competition in classes be held on alternate 
     
     Saturday afternoons to the Heartz Trophy matches, with 
     
     each class winner receiving a daily prize, and an 
     
     overall class championship being decided at the 
     
     conclusion of the shooting season. Entry fees would 
     
     be $1.50 per shooter and the prizes, no doubt, the 
     
     popular N.G.C. silver spoons. Everyone had a class 
     
     except the new members and those who had, for one 
     
     reason or another, not done enough shooting in 1912 to 
     
     earn a rating...both, it was agreed, would be 
     
     classified on their known ability.
