110THE [EVENING?] NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1887. THE GRAND DUKE MICHAEL OF RUSSIA. Fame, but nor notoriety, is silent about this noble [word?] of Russia, who is said to have visited this country, not alone for the purpose of attending Her Majesty's Jubilee, but also to find a wife from among the daughters of the Princess of Wales. Whatever be the faults on the Grand Duke, and report says they are very many, he must be credited with a great love for sport of all kinds, and in his own country he is a great and generous patron of everything connected with sport. Only a day or two ago he asked to be allowed to enter into competition with Miss Annie Oakley at the Wild West Show at Earl's Court, which permission was at once accorded. But although the Prince made a fairly good score, it showed by poorly in comparison with that of his fair competitor, and he retired from teh contest abashed, but firmly convinced of the superiority of American markswomen over Russia amatour lady-shots. The Grand Duke jas just been photographed in a variety of positions, and as he is a finely-built and powerful man his pictures are likely to be well worth seeing. | 110THE [EVENING?] NEWS FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1887.
