Post June 21.

Colonel Nate Salsbury, of the Buffalo Bill
Wild West Show, who is vice president of
the Forty Club, is to entertain the members
of the club and their friends at the Sixty-
third n et arena next Thursday afternoon.
The will meet at the Wellington Hotel
at 1:30 p. m. and proceed in a body to the
wild west camp, where Colonel Cody and
Colonel Salsbury will meet them and do the
honors.

"After a month's engagement in Chicago
the company opened in the Olympic theater
at St. Louis, then managed by Dr. Spalding.
The success of Chicago was repeated and,
barring the arrest of Ned Buntline for participation
in political riots in that city years
previous, nothing happened to impede the
financial and histrionic progress making.

"After playing in the leading western cities
and running the gauntlet of Boston culchaw,
the combination began an engagement at
Niblo's in New York city, which continued
for weeks. There, as elsewhere, Cody and
his players were the topic of conversation,
comment and commendation; such particularly
was the case with respect to the
former. His magnificent presence, graceful
movements, natural adaptability to his new
vocation, and other personal attributes
brought to his acceptance the most gratifying
expressions of appreciation from audiences
select and critical. He was also made
a guest of the Americus club, attended the
Tweed ball at Irving hall, and generally led
the life of one whose lines were cast in
places filled with sunshine.

"Of the compilers and company Andy Burt
is in 'Frisco on recruiting service, Major
Burke remains in a managerial capacity with
Cody, Joe Winter is a farmer living near
Elmira, N. Y., and Sid France is ill at Terre
Haute, while Texas Jack, Morlacchi, Ned
Buntline, John Allen and Walter Fletcher
have crossed over the beautiful river and
sleep beneath the shade of the trees that line
its banks."
