"WITH THE WILD WEST IN '98."
During the season of 1898, "BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST" traveled a distance of 10,253 miles, using the tracks of forty different railroads. The longest run from one stand to the next was 418 miles, from Trinidad, Colo., to Hutchinson, Kan.; the shortest from Newark, N. J., to Jersey City, seven miles.
The length of the season (including Sundays) was 200 days, during which time the show gave 347 performances, visited 133 towns, through twenty-six States. There were two days on which no performance was given, and six days on which only one performance was given, making a total of ten lost performances.
For transportation purposes there were thirty-five baggage wagons, two water tanks, two engines for electric light, four buggies, two prairie schooners, two field pieces and caissons, and one stage coach; while the trains were made up of sixteen flat cars, fifteen stock cars, and eight sleeping coaches.
There were traveling with the show 467 people, while the stables contained 329 horses and six mules used for the performance, and 118 draught horses.
The biggest arena was erected in Boston, and measured 198x397 feet; the smallest was in Uniontown, Pa., measuring 125x325 feet, while the standard size generally used measured 166x347 feet.
Trinidad, Colo., Sept. 10th, is a day and date that will be remembered by the whole company, as on that occasion the tents were erected and a performance given during a heavy snowstorm.
