     Skeet continues to be the dominant game at Mount 
     
     Albion, with interest strong enough that a third field 
     
     is being considered. Trapshooting participation 
     
     meanwhile, remains relatively low and continues to 
     
     account for less than ten percent of total club 
     
     activity. Around the Atlantic region, apart from 
     
     Charlottetown, the real hotbeds of clay target 
     
     shooting appear to be Sydney, Dartmouth and the Clubs 
     
     on the south-west shore of Nova Scotia. Many other 
     
     clubs are active, some emphasizing trapshooting and 
     
     some skeet, and are working on the upswing on their 
     
     activity cycle. A few more are in the doldrums, 
     
     waiting patiently for the person or incident to give 
     
     the ignition of enthusiasm. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Charlottetown Trap and Skeet Club, 
     
     approaching the apogee of the most extensive cycle in 
     
     its almost forty years of existence represents the 
     
     factor of success gleaned from a century of clay 
     
     target shooting: The continuity, carried from the old 
     
     Belvidere Gun Club to the Newstead Club by Fred 
     
     Hyndman, Dr. Ernest Blanchard and Major Bill Weeks--
