THE BAT JULY 26, 1887.

LILIAN SMITH, the shootist, came to Wimbledon last week and tried her hand at the running deer. She made two misses and then got home twice-on the haunch. After which she retired, observing that the rifle loaned her was a heavier one than she was used to, and that she would return with her own some other evening ; which she forgot to do, as also to pay for the result of her shoot.
