HE ENTERTAINS THE DUKE.
__________

Col. William F. Cody Has a Distinguished
Party at His Show.

Col. William Cody, who is otherwise known
as "Buffalo Bill," is not fetterdd by the
Sunday closing rule, as his show is outside
the fair grounds. The consequence was that
he was visited by 25,000 people yesterday,
almost twice as many as went to the big fair
the day before, and everybody who was there
seemed to enjoy themselves.

The duke of Veragua and his party were of
the multitude, as were the naval officers who
are now in the city, and after it was over
they all united in saying it was a great show.
Col. Cody's distinguished guests applauded
the wonderful display of horsemanship and
marksmanship as heartily as did their more
humble companions on the bleaching boards,
and when the Deadwood coach was attacked
and rescued in the good old regulation way
two nephews of the duke had seats on the
box.

During the preformance Master John
Burke No-Heck, the youthful scion of the
aboriginal family of No-Hecks, presented the
duchess with a bouquet of roses and the
Indian youngster and Spanish aristocrat
gazed curiously at one another. Altogether
Col. Cody had a successful opening and many
people had to be turned away because there
was no room for them.
