Boston Gun Club. 
Boston, Mass., June: 26.—The final Boston Gun Club 
1907 sheot was held at Wellington to-day, seven shooters 
in all ‘availing themselves of the last chance of the season. 
Barring one or two instances, the scores were decided- 
ly off color, though there was more real sport there than 
at the majority of the large tournaments. 


_ Team shooting was a feature, the two or three little 
impromptu affairs proving good entertainment, with 
honors practically even at the end of the afternoon.
