Miss Annie Oakley in Tennessee. 
\ Special to Forest and Stream.'] 
Annie Oakley's engagement with Buffalo Bill having ended a few 
weeks ago at Richmond, Va.. she came to south central Tennessee 
anticipating a season ot good hunting, and that upon the haunts of a 
once famous hun'er, Davy Crockett. She was not disappointed in 
finding good hunting. AH game common to this latitude is yet found 
plentiful here, and wild turkey and small gam"* in abundance. She 
also had the privilege while here of shooting when and where she 
pleased. The best shooting was found within two hours' walk of 
Crockett's mill. 
Most of our hunters have turned to the hunting that pays the most 
money, quail hunting. One man shipped from this county last sea- 
son ovpr 1.000 dozen quail While here Miss Oakley engaged mostly 
in quail hunting, it being the chief sport. Quail are found in abun- 
dance, and the character of the country is such that the hunting is 
delightfully exciting. Annie came with a record of three dozen quail 
iQ one day, hut while here had to compete with a man who has a 
record of six dozen in one day. 
Joe Eakin is one of the most successful hunters and finest shots in 
these parts. He and his fine pointer Nellie accompanied Miss Annie 
on a number of hunts, and he was the only one of our rural hunters 
who excelled her in the Held. However, joe found himself severely 
tested, while shooting with her, to maintain his fair record. As he 
remarked, "Miss Annie's so quick with her guu if you want to get a 
shot at a bird you must shoot mighty quick or wait till she misses, 
and that may keep you waiting some time.'' 
Annie's shooting in the field excited a great deal of admiration in 
all who were fortunate enough to see her, but her rifle shooting was 
simply marvelous .She performed feats with apparently greatest 
ease that must be seen to be believed. 
While here, she performed the extremely difficult feat of shooting a 
m*»adowlark on the wing with her .3?cal. Winchester. She hit a brick 
tBSsed in the air, broke it;, and then hit one of the pieces before it 
reached the ground. The writer saw many a walnut and pebble torn 
to atoms by her rifle balls. She leaves with us a penny, through 
which she sent a .22 ball; also a photo, marked as only a rifle ball 
can mark, while held in the hand of a friend, edge toward her, at a 
distance of fifteen paces. Walter Swain.

HOOPER AGAIN I^OSES BY ONE BIRD. 
Nov. SO.—Ji. D. Hooper, who lost his match with CHlbert by missing 
his last bird, did precisely the same thing to-day inhis m.itch with 
Capt. A. W. Money, on the Carteret Gun Club grounds. As before, the 
contestants were tied on their 99th birds, and Hooper lost the match 
on,"his last bird, a fast driver, which he failed to grass. The match was 
close and exciting throughout, the men being tied on toeir 25th. 50th, 
75th and 99ch birds. The weather was admirable for a trap-shooting 
match ; the birds were a good lot, some exceptionally fast, and the 
traps worked to perfection. Hooper was handled by Geo. S. McAJpin. 
Capt Money handled himself. Another match was arranged, to be 
shot off at an early date, as neither party was satisfied. The score;

Chicago, 111 , Nov. 14.— The Calumpt Heights Club held their regu- 
lar weekly shoot on their grounds at Grand Calumet Heights, Ind., 
to day Twenty one persous attended, but only a few took part in 
the contests. Others spent their time on the river and through the 
woods. Some few quail, partridges and ducks were bagged. The 
duck shooting thus far this fall has been very poor, compared to pre- 
vious years at the club. The weather being warm aad no signs of 
winter, it is more than possible that the ducks usual to this district 
have not come south as yet. 
The medal race was shot during the afternoon in a driving wind 
fi'om the rear of platform, and while the targets were largely easy, 
manj^ were over shot. Following is detailed score of medal contest

EDBEKA GUN CLUB. 
The Eureka Gun Club held the first shoot of its winter series at 
Watson's Park on the af tfrnoon of Nov. 20, 1897, and was participated 
in by a considerable number. 
It was intendtd, if possible, to have the first of the contests between 
Eureka and Garfield gun clubs come off on this day, but the Qarfields 
were imable to get their arraui^ements and handicaps perfected in 
time relating to their own shoot. 
The Garfield s now expect to start in on their winter series during 
the early part of December. Both clubs having some good live bird 
shooters on their rolls, it is expected that a hot contest will result in 
the coniests to follow. 
The day was one v-.lth clear atmosphere with a strong wind from 
the left quarter. Mo-t of the birds were left quartering drivers and 
left-quar.ering incomers, and were very fast. Tne attendance was 
exceptionally large for a club shoot, and being the first of the season, 
bids fair to be a successful one. 
Many members of Garfield Club were in attendance, but spent most 
of their lime shooting targets Adams and Hoyt, who were shooting 
new guns, were somewhat handicapped, and their scores were not 
up to their usual form. 
Among those present who did not not participate in the event, but 
who are interested in trap-shootiner, were E. L. Rice, O. P. Richards, 
Dr. Shaw and wife, Silas Palmer, John Amberg, E. E. Neal, H.Wiley, 
and others
