he penned the following note on the back of the 
     
     bulletin, and returned it by mail to President Frank 
     
     Heartz. 
     
    
   
   
    
     " Charlottetown 1 January, 1914 
     
     Mr. President: 
     
    
   
   
    
     I am not aware who is responsible for 
     
     this document, being unsigned, but I take it 
     
     as an intimation to me to get out. I 
     
     therefore request that my name be removed. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Why the oldest member both in years and 
     
     membership, and a former President, should be 
     
     classed after new members with no record is 
     
     unaccountable to me-—and I don't think my 
     
     shooting score deserves it. Last season I 
     
     was unable to attend much owing to illness, 
     
     and previous to that season I am sure I made 
     
     a fairly good record. Good bye—wWishing you 
     
     all happiness. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Yours truly, 
     
     Fred W. Hyndman 
     
    
   
   
    
     A few weeks later, President Frank Heartz sent a 
     
     letter of apology, suggesting the bulletin in question 
     
     had been hurriedly prepared, and issued without proper 
     
     revisions, and appealed for a continuence of member- 
     
     ship. Fred Hyndman considered it, and continued to 
     
     pay his annual dues and help the organization in other 
     
     ways, but he did not (to the best of our knowledge) 
     
     ever attend another Newstead Gun Club meeting, or 
     
     frequent another shooting match. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Club opened its 1914 shooting season on 
     
     January 3rd and the cry, "Pull," was heard once again 
     
     from the exhibition grounds on the Kensington Road. 
     
     The 'trial' shoot had been held, as planned, in 
     
     December at the Brighton military compound, but was 
     
     not well attended--in fact was almost totally
