THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION

Equipped as it is with so many attractions, it is not surprising that the "Yankeries," located at Earl's Court, London as it has already come to be called, should have proved a great success. This satisfactory result is no doubt largely owing to Buffalo Bill's "Wild West" company. The cowboys and Indians, who figure in the various equestrian performances, are all men of fine physique, and they naturally come in for a large amount of admiration. The wonderful shooting of Miss Annie Oakley, known as "Sure Shot" on account of her accuracy with the rifle is also greatly admired. Out of thirty-one matches in which she has taken part, Miss Oakley has won twenty five prizes. Her collection of firearms and gold medals, all of which have been won by, or presented to her is considered to be the finest in America, and without a doubt, unsurpassed in England. No one should visit the exhibition without seeing "Little Sure Shot."
