Mr. WILLIAM F. CODY, "Buffalo
Bill," complains that THE WORLD did
him an injustice recently through
misapprehension of his relation to the cowboy
race from Nebraska to Chicago.
He declares that he had nothing to do
with originating the race and that his
only connection with it is through his
offer of a prize of $500, not to the rider
who reaches the Fairgrounds first, but
to the one who brings his horses in
the best condition. His prize is not,
therefore, an inducement to cruelty
but the reverse. THE WORLD is glad
to make so agreeable a correction.
