The popularity of Buffalo Bill's Wild West
as a place of resort and entertainment seems
ever on the increase, to judge by the enormous
crowds that have been attending it during
the past few weeks. Two hundred and
eighty-eight performances have now been
given in Chicago this summer, and several
times during the past week the sale of tickets
was stopped because of the lack of room
to accommodate the crowds. To-morrow
(Sunday) afternoon 200 picked marksmen of
the regular army from Fort Sheridan will
visit the show in a body in uniform, and
by a new process photographs of the entire
grand-stand will be made just before 3
o'clock, and the pictures will be large enough
to show distinctly every occupant of a seat in
the vast place.
