Christopher Columbus will come
here on october II and if you
look at that future tense and
think I've been dropped on my
head, call the Spanish Embassy.
The Ambassador and Sonora de
Lequerica have issued invitations
to a 6 to 8 reception Ito commem-
rate the Twelfth of october. 1892
Fiesta de la Raza Day of the Dis
covery of America by Spain and to
meet Christopher Columbus (Col-
on Duke of Veragua. The invita-
tions also read please present this
card at the door," which means
this is something of an extra
special affair.
Christopher Columbus is. in fact.
flying all the way to America
just for this occasion. 1t will take
him about II hours in the air,
whereas it took his ancestor more
than two months on the high seas.
The Duke of Veragua is hand
some. 26-years-old and a direct
descendant of the great explorer
whose real name. the Spanish say
was Cristobal Colon (aS per the
city and suburb in Panama.) This
ones name is also Cristobal Colon
but for the sake of clarification
the American version of it was put
on the invitations.
Like his illuStrious ancestor, the
current Cristobal is also an ad-
miral in the Spanish Navy but his
is the honorary title that's been
handed down along with the
dukedom to the direct male de-
scendant of Americas first tourist.
The duke. however, is actually an
officer in the navy and the second
IN command of the Spanish ship
Ciclope.
This is the dukes first trip and
how long he will be here is still a
matter Of conjecture. There will
be other parties for him, of course
but the local young bellies needn t
get their hopes up. The young
grandee has beautiful wife whom
he acquired two years ago.
