One day of the days we journeyed to the Wild West to see Buffalo Bill's wonderful show in Flowery Land, for we wandered through those lovely gardens till we surveyed Windsor Castle, the most marvellous bit of scenery ever painted. It looks as if we could gallop right up the long ride, that we know so well, through the great park to the Castle. In the gardens is a magic maze designed by Yeo, where wanderers are puzzled by multiplication mirrors, so that no one knows exactly where he or she is after one turn round. This system should be adopted by tailors, so that their clients might see themselves all ways at once. If Walding had it at Rugby, a huntsman trying on a coat would fancy himself the whole Peterborough Show, and we should like to see the effect on anyone who has "got 'em." How frightened he would be, and ever more stick to cold tea.
We had comfortable luncheon at Messrs. Bertram and Roberts' and a cigar in the grounds; then to Buffalo Bill's, and his cowboy band kept us entranced till the show began. The Grand Processional Review was interesting, and the Hon. Colonel W. F. Cody, on his grand old white horse, received an enthusiastic welcome. It does not seem like five years since he was here before, and
We finished up that evening at the Ship and Turtle, where Painter still cooks the aldermanic food, and, after dinner, with punch and Piper Hiedsick, we went down to the smoking room, where the living turtles swim about in their tanks, awaiting their turn into soup and callipash and callipee for upstairs. Next week we shall be able to tell of an eastern pack if all is well, so you shall from ... DRAGON.
