Heartz Trophy, and the special prize that Frank Heartz 
     
     presented annually with it. Al Hyndman won the 
     
     Overall championship in the first classification 
     
     division, and John Hyndman was the winner in the 
     
     second class. The defunct third class was reinitiated 
     
     late in the season, and, with minimal participation, 
     
     was won by Jimmy Walker. Runner-up positions held 
     
     very little significance in Newstead competitions, 
     
     with the exception of one event that did earn a 
     
     runner-up award. The Heartz Trophy match runner-up 
     
     honor would go this year to former champion, Charles 
     
     Leigh. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Since his kind donation of a trophy, and accompa- 
     
     nying prize, the annual dinner banquet, given to honor 
     
     Frank Heartz had become not only a habit, but also 
     
     developed into one of Charlottetown's social high- 
     
     lights of the season. They were strictly stag, as 
     
     there is no evidence that, at any time, did ladies 
     
     participate in anything to do with gun club activi- 
     
     ties. This had been a banner year, and Frank Heartz 
     
     was the club president, so this perhaps called for a 
     
     special celebration... 
     
    
   
   
    
     It was organized for one week following the final 
     
     shoot and was held at the Hotel Davies, located on 
     
     Great George Street. Hotel Davies was one of the more 
     
     popular banquet houses of the day, and still stands, 
     
     on the beautifully restored avenue that leads from 
     
     Province House to the harbour, as the Regent Hotel. 
     
     It was a gala occasion with a number of dignitaries in 
     
     attendance. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The banquet was typical of the day with toasts, 
     
     and counter toasts, a large menu, speeches, and 
     
     merriment. On May 13th The Daily Examiner reported in 
     
     large bold headlines: "Brilliant Banquet given to 
     
     Frank R. Heartz, Esquire." The copy that followed the 
     
     headline outlined the evening in great detail as 
     
     follows: 
     
    
   
   
    
     "Mr. Frank R. Heartz the very popular
