This ancient site, and the whole surrounding district, is still the property of the Cajetans.

The Prince's horses, which will be chosen for this test from the Cisterna Campagna, are known in Rome as the Cajetan breed, and hold their own for the wildest and most unmanageable in the country.

Whole volumes of illustrious history might be supplied with reference to the Cajetan family and of their richly endowed estate; they have filled a spacious position in the annals of a thousand years. With sincere respect, (Signed), CHARLES M. WOOD,
Vice-Consul of the United States of America at Rome, Italy.

"BUFFALO BILL" IN VENICE.
(By Telegraph, "New York Herald.") VENICE, 16th APRIL, 1890.

"BUFFALO BILL" and his "Wild West" have made a big show in Venice. This evening the directors have a special invitation on the Grand Canal, where the whole troupe will be shown. COLONEL CODY is taken by the Venetian Prefect in his own private residence. No one can think them, ordinary artists, after they have seen the gathering of different Indians in gondolas, or seen the wonderful sight which presents itself at the Venetian Palace and in the little steamboats that ply between the Pier of St. mark and the Railway Station.
