HAVE A GOOD TIME.

Buffalo Bill Entertains the Waifs as
Guests.

Yesterday was poor children's day
and was fittingly celebrated by the element
it represented. Thousands of
children of both sexes spent a very
enjoyable day. They did not attend the
World's Fair, but were allowed the
freedom of Buffalo Bill's Wild West
show. To say that they appreciated
the treat would be putting it mildly, and
to show their appreciation they
presented generous W. F. Cody with an
elaborate gold plate in imitation of a
messenger service slip. This tenders
him the services or the messengers is
long as he lives. There were many crippled
and maimed waifs among them who
were well taken care of by their youthful
associates. The parade formed at
Market and Madison streets, passed
through Fifth avenue, Washington,
Dearborn and Monroe streets. The Illinois
Central furnished free trains,
which the youngsters boarded at the
lakefront. Among the firms who donated
prizes were the Pairpoint Manufacturing
company, A. Lipman, Lyon &
Healy, Meriden, Britannia company,
Mack &Becker, Brainard & Sons, A. G.
Spaulding, and Louis E. Black.
