when from Charlottetown their gun club's top 
     
     skeet shooters joined the local club's 
     
    

    
     sportsmen and enjoyed a fine afternoon's 
     
     sport, and incidentally not only showed their 
     
    
   
   
    
     superiority but made a lasting impression on 
     
     many Of the home club's members at the sport. 
     
    
   
   
    
     No finer sportsmen than the visitors 
     
     could be desired, quite consistent with the 
     
     sport itself. Thirty shooters participated 
     
     with the top ten scores as follows: 
     
    
   
   
    
     R. ATKINSON (CH" TOWN) 23 23 46 
     
     W. BRYENTON (CH" TOWN) 23 22 45 
     
     R. GAY (CH" TOWN) 24 21 45 
     
     O. HARPER (CH TOWN) 22 20 42 
     
     A. HOGAN (CH" TOWN) 22 19 Al 
     
     R. HENTHORNE (S'SIDE) 21 20 41 
     
     G. WILLIS (CH" TOWN) 21 20 Al 
     
     H. SIMPSON (CH" TOWN) 20 17 +437 
     
     D. GALLANT (S'SIDE) 21 13. 34 
     
     A. COLES (S'"SIDE) 16 15 31 
     
    
   
   
    
     A week later hurricane Edna ripped through the 
     
     Maritime provinces and upset all of the buildings at 
     
     the Summerside Club. Halifax was not so fortunate 
     
     and, being in the direct path of the high winds, had 
     
     two of its four fields totally demolished. 
     
    
   
   
    
     As the 1954 clay target season in Charlottetown 
     
     came to a close, there was evidence of great 
     
     enthusiasm and club momentum. Wylie Bryenton's first- 
     
     ever 25 straight and the attendance at the Maritime 
     
     shoot in Fredericton had developed a new interest in 
     
     personal averages and shooting competitions; and 
     
     before the season ended both Glydon Willis and Ron 
     
     Atkinson had accomplished the perfect score, and Ollie 
     
     Harper had become the Club's top average shooter. Ten 
     
     new members joined the Club in 1954 including school 
     
     principal Leo MacDonald, railroaders Archie Vickerson 
     
     and Eric Wilson, Dentist Bill Hogg, Dr. Clarence 
     
     Coady, George Carson's business partner Uttley Birt,
