The little lady gave a splendid exhibition of fancy and rapid shooting, handling the gun with lightning rapidity and wonderful accuracy. Her work was so maivekms©y quick that the eye could hardly keep pace with the move ments with which she picked up one gun, broke a pair of sailing targets, changed guns and repeated the performance. Alto gether her exhibition was the best of the kind in the show. She missed but few shots, although many were extremely dif ficult, arid her part of the programme wag carried out in a modest and pleasing man ner. She has several very fine guns, but uses principally a Francotte, a Cashmore, a Lancaster and a Parker. Her load was 39 grains Sciniitze and 1 oa. No. 7 shot, in U. M. C. Smokeless shell. The targets used in the exhibitions are Blue Rocks, thrown from Blue Rock traps. Miss Oakley also gave a verry pretty performance with her horse.

GTTN TAKEN APART The Winchester " Take Down " Repeating Shotgun is the popular Winchester Model 1897, with a strong, simple, serviceable and handy take-down system applied to it. This gun can be taken apart and put together as easily and quickly as a double-barreled shotgun, and can be carried in A Victoria case, packed in a trunk or rolled Ul up in camp bedding. Besides being convenient to carry, and easy to clean, a feature which further recommends the "Take Down " is that it can be fitted with inter- [y changeable barrels of different lengths and different styles of bore. m The standard "Take Down" shotgun is made with 30 or 32 inch rolled steel barrel, blued frame and pistol grip st«ck of plain wood, not checked. All barrels L!J are bored to shoot smokeless or black powder equally well, and no gun will be shipped which does not make a good target.
