ANNIE OAKLEY.

TO THE EDITOR OF "THE COUNTY GENTLEMAN."

SIR,-As I shall shortly leave for America-my departure being hastened on account of my health, which is at present not the best-I write to ask if you will allow me space in your paper to thank the English Press and public for the many favours shown me during my stay in England. To the members of the Gun Culb, Hurlingham, and Sporting and Dramatic Clubs I am indebted for many pleasant hours spent in their company. I am leaving England with regret, but hope at some future time to return and see my many English friends. Until then I will say good-bye. Wishing a Merry Christmas to all, I am, very thankfully, ANNIE OAKLEY,
London address : 151, New Bond-street. (Little Sure Shot.)
