The baby's name was announced shortly after the royal couple stepped from Portland Hospital with the new princess, wrapped in a white blanket. The baby slept quietly through the cheers of the crowd and the click of hundreds of cameras.

Princess Eugenie, as she will be called, is the sixth grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II and sixth in the line of succession. She is the second daughter born to the duchess and her husband Prince Andrew.

The 30-year-old Duchess of York, the former Sarah Ferguson, gave birth to Princess Eugenie by Caesarian section on March 23.

Andrew's elder brother Prince Charles, 41, is first in line to the throne, followed by Charles' sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. Then comes Andrew, 30, then Beatrice.

The queen's unmarried youngest son, Edward, 26, is seventh in line of succession. Her 39-year-old daughter Anne, the Princess Royal, is eighth and has a son and daughter, Peter and Zara, who are ninth and 10th.

Sonny Bono, in true cowboy fashion, leaped on his steed and nabbed a transgressor.

Bono, the mayor of Palm Springs, Calif., a desert resort 100 miles east of Los Angeles, spotted a motorcyclist rocketing through an intersection last weekend on Palm Canyon Drive, the main thoroughfare.

Astride his own black Harley-Davidson, the mayor chased the speeder down and issued a warning.

Bono wears a T-shirt with his official title printed on it. "We have had hundreds of those bullet bikes come in in the last three years," he said. "If they want to behave, fine. But most just go screaming through here."

Sammy Davis Jr. remains under medical care at his Beverly Hills, Calif., home as he battles throat cancer but he's doing fine, spokeswoman Susan Reynolds said.

Davis was recently hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a recurrence of throat cancer, which was diagnosed in September 1989.

A versatile singer-dancer whose career has stretched from vaudeville to the Las Vegas stage to Hollywood, Davis most recently appeared in the 1989 movie "Tap," playing an old-time tap dancer.
