Colonel Cody's Wild West is the Mecca of
European visitors. The English, French, German,
Italian and Belgian press representatives
all visited the camp of Buffalo Bill on arrival.
The latest visitor was Prince Roland Bonaparte,
who is well known on the continent as a
scientist and as a lead or among anthropological
students. When the Wild West was in Paris
the congress of anthropologists daily visited
the camp and photographed the Indians, also
taking the texture of hair, color of eyes and
other peculiarities of the red man, and interviewed
them on the traditions and superstitions
of their race. The result will be chronicled in a
history of man by that congress. The prince
and his party of scientists visited the Wild West
yesterday, renewing old acquaintances and expressing
the pleasure the entertainment gave,
as well as the interest now attached to it, by its
aggregation of different races, by the student of
mankind. On Saturday General Miles and staff
highly complimented Colonel Cody on his congress
of primitive horsemen and his national
military exhibition.
