last night
At the close Of the variety perform
ance 1t is stated that the duke, in COM
pany with several other Young men
ABOUT town, attempted to go behind lie
scenes.
Their visit was objection able to the
treasurer Of the company, s. G. BaI,
and the latter laid violent hands on The
duke Of Marlborough, landing him out
side the stage door in a disorlersd con-
dition.
The duke was at Lexington on Thurs
Gay at the great Pennsylvania stake
race. A reporter thus describes him.
There are no visible symptoms of En-
glish nobility about the duke Of MARI
borough, as that word is generally cor
Strued He is a mere boy, with boyish
manner. There is certainly nothing bad
that Is, real bad-about the little fell
low. for he is a. man of small stature
and delicate caste Of features, and vet
passably good, if not an extremely in
telhgent, face. He is light complexion-
ed, has blue eyes and the merest apollo

hirsute growth on each side of the nose.

hat creased in the center. A plain pale-

dressed in modest, if not common sui
of kersey. The trousers were turned up
at the bottom, and a pair OF tan shoes
completed his apparel. Had the same
clothing been worn by LeXingtonite
they would be termed shabby, showing,
as they did, at least four months seri-

A gIaring tarnish was very perc apti-
bic on the dukes overcoat in the matter
of an oily spot that might, with the aid
of little benZine, have been removed.
He wore absolutely no jewelry of any
kind, and did not, with his two healthy
eyes, affect the monocle He was, in
fact, all out of form, in the strict ac-
ceptance of the term, and can never pre-
vail as a criterion for the "chappies."
When the reporter was presented to
him, he was according 10 the English
curriculum, gracious; according to the
American, civil He is yet too young
for his titles to rest heavily upon him,
and too well bred TO forget that ne is
actually somebody, and that il is pos
sible for others to have identities and
preserve them. His first action was to
extend an open palm, and his first ut

How do you find yourself in Ameri-
ca?" was asked
Most agreeably surrounded, assure
you. was the prompt reply.
~ did not come over" he continued
particularly TO study the country in
any way-but rather to enjoy myeelf,
and there has in that respect been moth

How long do you intend remaining
in this country"
That is very indefiniteI don't know
but will not return for some months"
The noble duke would make no COM
parsons between social points in this
country and England, but said: Il find
Newport charming. There is nothing
culture. refinement and wealth can con-
jure up that is not lavished upon the
visitor TO Newport society. / am thor

Brighton. nor yet is it AK, nor can
say that the place suffers when so par
alleled."
do you intend purchasing pair Of |
trotters in Kentucky"
That depends. l think I may take |
a couple back with me. You know, the |
gated horse is Of no particular value in |
England because he is gated. II he is |
swift that is sufficient. for with him |
you cut the merciless cross-country dis |
tances. and he is great commodity. |

"A very great deal. and I am very
fond of the recreation- / prefer IL to
almost any other mode of travel"
How does the beauty in the grand /

On leaving the young duke the same
open hand was frankly offered. and he
passed down TO the betting shed.

clear, but his Grace did not deign 10
place a bet.
