BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST.

Every schoolboy has read of the Custer
massacre and older persons remember the
feelings of horror and regret which possessed
them when they read the terrible news. The
fact that among the Wild West forces are
many of the Indian chiefs who took actual
and prominent part in the dire conflict, as
also many United States soldiers who served
through the campaign, made it more possible
for the Wild West to fitly and faithfully
portray the event than any other organization
that could be effected for that purpose.
It is no wonder that the representation has
been a most emphatic success. During the
week the United States forces from Fort
Sheridan and those stationed at other points
and the cadets from the United States military
academy at West Point have been most
interested spectators of the realistic production.

This great feature is simply an addition to
the program and in nowise curtails or detracts
from the general excellence or fullness
of the other features. The entire entertainment
is given complete in every detail, and
each of the two performances given daily at
3 and 8:30 p. m., rain or shine.
