Address THE SUN, New York.
SUNDAY, MARTH 18, 1888.
Miss Annie Oakley, the champion female trap shot of the worlds, has joined Tony Paster's trav-eling company for a six months' tour, commenc-ing March 26th. Miss Oakley has not been af-fected by the great record she made at Mechant-ville, N. J. in killing 47 live pigeons our of 50, at 25 yards rise; she wears the same size har, and is as sweet, and modest, and lovely as ever. Tony Pastor's troupe will show in Philadelphia during April, when the many admirers of Miss Oak-ley will have another opportunity to show their appreciation of her.

In the live-bird match with Mr, Lovatt Thurs-day Miss Annie Oakley killed twenty-six our of thirty, instead of twenty, as reported. This is below her average, as she killed fifty-seven our of fifty in her match with William Graham, the English champion, at Merchantville, N. J., February 22, 1888, beating him two birds.
