Still Flocking to Buffalo Bill.

It is an old story, and one always received
with pleasure, that Buffalo Bill's Wild West
and Congress of Rough Riders at Sixty-third
street is being patronized twice every day to
the fullest capacity of its grandstands. For
eighteen weeks this entertainment has been
before the people. Starting in at an unfavorable
season, when the night winds were biting
and when rain fell nearly every day, the
patronage then was large, and it has steadily
continued to increase until the popular approval
of the “Wild West" attested by
thousands every 'day. The [?] of "Custer's
Last Charge; or, The Battle the Little
Big Horn" to the already interesting program
seems to have served to increase the
appetite of the public for this form of amusement.
The great influx of strangers into the
city to attend the World's Fair has had a
marked beneficial affect on all classes of
amusement, and proportionately so on the
attendance at the "Wild West," where there
are daily assemble more people than could be
accommodated in all of the downtown
theaters. This is because of the novelty, the
strength, and the merit of the exhibition given
by the company.
