BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST.

Two hundred and eighty-eight consecutive
performances of the same entertainment,
and still moving on to full houses, is a
record to be proud of, and Buffalo Bill's
Wild West is its possessor. The attendance
during the past month has far exceeded
the record of any amusement enterprise.
At both performances every day
the grand stand is filled. To-day over two
hundred marksmen of the regular army
from Fort Sheridan will attend in a body
and in full uniform, as all of them are interested
in seeing the shooting of Colonel
Cody and his company. All the ordinary
methods of transportation will be running,
and the special World's Fair trains of the
Illinois Central will leave Van Buren street
every fifteen minutes for Buffalo Bill's
after 1 o'clock. Arrangements have been
made by which photographs of the entire
grand stand will be made from the arena
before the opening of the performance at
3 o'clock to-day.
