him the marked man of the present age. Such a
sensation has he created, that we every day
overwhelmed with such inquiries as" Where is
Chevaer Wkoff pc What is Chevalier Wikoff
doing T'-" Is he still honoring, blessing and
distinguishing New York by his presence 9''-
" Has he yet commenced the great moral move

all the BARRIERS, boot-blacks and walters round
about town-not forgetting the :" walters at Longs

information, Chevaher Wikof spent the other NOR

glass-and pronounced the eulogistic opinion that

their paces-and departed with the big white opera

Here again the big white opera-glass and the white
kid gloves were in requistion, and the chevaer

driving them completely off the field, just as he
had so often done in the extraordinary campaigns
in the Fanny Elssler career in this country. Here
again the sensation created by his presence was
great-the people wondered, and stared, and looked,
and exclaimed, and were lost In admiration at this
great production of the age. This is merely the
