SCR00007.142

Every country has its shooting wonder, and England is no exception. I had the pleasure of seeing Master Chas. Brown shoot, on several occasions. If he ever goes to America, which I believe he intends doing, all will think he is a wonder. He is a bright, gentlemanly little fellow, not yet thirteen years of age and small for his age; but, make no mistake, he can handle a gun. I have seen him shoot at live pigeons and glass balls in the air, both with rifle and shootgun. I have also seen him shoot at the running deer at 100 yards. In each kind of shooting he did fine work; shot coolly and used very good judgment.

Rifle shooting is all the rage here now, this being the time of the big meeting at Wimbledon. I visited the camp on two occasions and the last day--July 18-- there were two thousand people present. It was the deciding day for the Queen's Prize, which is $1,200. It was won this year with a higher score than ever made here before. Great in-terest is taken in this shooting here. Miss Oakley had the pleasure of meeting the Prince of Wales at the running deer target, on that day, when they each had a shot. He is a splendid fellow.
