A RIFLE QUEEN.

Miss Adelaide Item en’n Remarkable Recon! as a M-rkswomau. Fashionable Ndw York society is happy in the possession of the champion amateur rifle shot in the world. Miss Adelaide Remsen, who, it is claimed, can make a clean score every time. Miss Remsen is an intimate friend of the Marquise de Mores, and was first taught how to handle a rifle by the plucky wife of the nobleman cowboy. Miss Remsen’s favorite weapon is a 38-caliber Winchester rifle. She has an unerring aim and rarely if ever misses her mark. While visiting the Marquise de Mores in the Bad Lands of Dakota, two years ago, the fair New York girl astonished the professional hunters ivith the remarkable precision of her aim and her wonderful pluck. Miss Remsen has bowled over deer, bear, antelope, and mountain sheep—a truly wonderful record lor a man, let alone a pretty young society miss, who performed this marvelous shooting in the face of the greatest dangers. W hile at Lennox, Mass., last season and again at Cannes, France, about three months ago, Miss Remsen made such phenomenal scores astoevoke the admiration of the spectators, who presented her with a couple of bejeweled badges emblematic of her prowess with the rifle. The Prince of Wales, who witnessed Miss Remsen’s markmanship at Cannes, presented hsy with a tiny gold target, studded with priceless

gems, which the fair markswoman wears as a lace-pin. Miss Remsen is a noted society belle.
