May 22.—After one of the most successful series ever 
mir at - Wellington, the Boston Gun Club ended its 
1907 spring prize series to-day with an attendance num¬ 
bering 17, all of whom were solely on pleasure bent. 
Many surprises were in store for the trap-shooters, 
Hardy s 48 out of 50 being enough to make an easy win 
c fi f st i in Class B, and Kawop’s 42 relegating to 
he backwoods a low score and advanced just enough 
up make the highest total in any class on the six 
shoots. 
The nicest surprise, however, was Bond and Bond, Jr.’s 
: "eturn to the fold after an absence of some three years, 
luring which time a yoke of oxen would not have 
Ragged them out. Bond, Jr., easily showed some of the 
>ld-time skill, but the Doctor was a little slow to get 
darted, and intends to hold his hand for the two-day 
ournament of the club June 5-6. 
Frank, in Class A, made a runaway race of the serial 
natch, and could well afford to take life easy with his 
learest competitor 21 targets behind, as well as 60 miles 
■t the same time. 
Class B found the leaders for the entire season de- 
hroned on the last shoot, but Muldown made a good 
second win with some to spare, though Comer made a 
;ood effort to connect on the last day, and only needed 
few more targets to turn the trick. 
Kawop, as expected, put the crimp on Class C and 
•roved his ability to cope with Class B shooters with- 
ut any trouble, so henceforth his wins will have to be 
mong the 80 to 90 per cent, shooters. 
,High average to-day brought out an interesting race, 
M-ank and Comer fighting it out in all the events, with 
.°mer turning in the right score just in the nick of 
•me. Scores:
