SCR00007.112The Trap and Trigger. Miss Annie Oakley has engagements to give exhibition shoots before the Hurlingham and London Gun Clubs, of the Great British Capital. Miss Annie Oakley wears her laurels beautifully. Success and the flattery that is sure to attend it have not turned her head. Her plain, natural manners, her sterling character, and the exemplary attachment that subsists between her and her husband win respect for her everywhere. Mr. Butler writes of his wife, Miss Annie Oakley, now in London, "Annie shot at some blue rock pigeons here the other day. She did not do very well." Then he goes on to say. "The blue rocks here are not like ours in America. They are smaller and swifter, and they go like lightning. The worst of them are better than the best in America. Any man who can bring down 80 out of a 100, can make a fortune here. I don't believe there is a man in America that can do it." "The Scott gun is never talked of here," says Mr. Butler, writing from London to a Cincinnati friend. He adds: "You hear of nothing but Grant, Purdey, Lancaster and Dougall guns among shooters here. They don't know anything about the Scott gun, and some other English guns that are so popular in America." | SCR00007.112The Trap and Trigger.
