CADETS HEAR THE WILD WEST YELLS.

Veterans at Yesterday's Performance Who
Have Fanious Fighting Records.

Colonel Cody, his cowboy band, his Indians,
soldiers, cossacks and Bedouins
stormed Jackson Park gates early yesterday
morning, and, defying the Columbian
guard, captured the fair completely. It
was a parade such as no other organization
in the world could make, and the people who
saw it cheered wildly. Later in the day
the West Point cadets, re-enforced by
three score army officers, answered Colonel
Cody's raid by visiting the Wild West show.

in the grand stand were:

The present is the first time in history
that the cadets of West Point have ever
visited the west in a body, and at this time
they meet on middle ground veterans of the
army, graduates of their school, who have
served their time faithfully and honorably,
as well as those now in active service, and
men who figured gallantly in Indian wars.

Captain Hair and Sergeant Hackett, of
the Seventh cavalry, the first in the grand
stand and the second in the arena, were
engaged in the war with the Sioux in 1876,
and escaped the fate that befell Custer by
having been detailed with that portion of
the regiment under Benteen.

Lieutenant Brewer and Lieutenant Preston,
of the Seventh cavalry, were both
prominent figures In the late uprising at
Wounded Knee, and Lieutenant Preston is
the hero of a ride of sixteen miles from the
camp to Pine Ridge, along the line of which
were 7,000 hostile Indians.
