unsuccessful. It dispelled all further thoughts of 
     
     shooting in an area that would benefit the military, 
     
     and the Club returned to its popular shooting area at 
     
     the race track. 
     
    
   
   
    
     No further effort was made to bring to the Island 
     
     Club the regulated trapshooting game, and targets were 
     
     Still being shot on a 14 or 15-yard rise. Although 
     
     some members were advocating change, the majority were 
     
     happy to shoot in the same manner they had for the 
     
     past few years, witha variety of target angles. In 
     
     fact, following the first day's shooting, a club meet- 
     
     ing was held to discuss a motion advocating the elimi- 
     
     nation of crossing targets, in an effort to move 
     
     toward the proper trapshooting game. The motion was 
     
     voted down by a majority of one, and the Club con- 
     
     tinued the old routine. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The gun club enjoyed another good winter season 
     
     at the Provincial Exhibition Association grounds, 
     
     shooting regularly every Saturday afternoon, and in 
     
     the process using up a few dozen silver spoons and 
     
     most of the clay pigeons from the fall order. Every 
     
     day more young Charlottetown men were enlisting in the 
     
     militia and it was beginning to take a new toll of 
     
     Newstead members. While many were leaving, there were 
     
     the occasional new members. Among them were W. Harry 
     
     Tidmarsh, son of member Bill Tidmarsh, and W. kK. 
     
     Rogers' son, Keith, who in later years would establish 
     
     Charlottetown's first radio station...C. F.C. Y. For 
     
     the first time the Heartz Trophy competition, although 
     
     still very important, fell out of the limelight and 
     
     class competitions came to the fore. The Heartz 
     
     matches were really limited to the top gunners, while 
     
     the class events gave everyone a chance. In the 
     
     spring of 1914 the Heartz Trophy was won for a second 
     
     time by Major Bill Weeks. 
     
    
   
   
    
     There is an often told story, completely 
     
     unverified, concerning the gun club and an unscheduled 
     
     match that was held there on a Saturday afternoon in 
     
     late spring. Apparently new member, Doctor Fred
