There is enough of color and life and mad
daring in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show to stir
to greatest enthusiasm the most sluggish nature,
and there is so much beauty in the pictures made
of men and horses that an artist can look upon
them with keen delight. Yesterday in the grand
stand dignified women and men, with prosperity
and age stamped in every line, cheered and
clapped their hands and waved hats and handkerchiefs
like little children. The dazzling
military evolutions arouse the patriotism in
every nature. Buffalo Bill himself forgets
his millions and enters into the performance
with all his heart. Nate Salsbury, the
amusement director and years ago the handsome
leading man of Hooley's stock company, never
tires of the excitement but it takes Maj. John
M. Burke, the general manager, to whoop and
yell and clap his fat bands in glee as the United
States cavalry race down the great track. The
military review of American, English, French,
German and Russian cavalry, together with the
Indians, is one of the prettiest as well as most
inspiring sights ever given to an audience. More
than 10.000 men, women and children went into
the regulation raptures over the show yesterday.
It is an undisputed fact that the attendance
at Buffalo Bill's Wild West every day
would ill sny half-dozen theaters in Chicago
and have a few left over to take excursions
on the lake. There is "faking" or
false pretenses connected with this entertainment,
all the people being genuine and every act
advertises being performed with rigid fidelity to
honest dealing with the public. The confidence
engendered in the public mind by this faithfulness
on the part of the management of the Wild
West has resulted, as it always will, in the public
giving its encouragement and patronage to
the enterprise Messrs. Cody and Salsbury have
reason to feel proud of their success and gratified
with the endorsement bestowed upon them.
No one of the large crowd daily in attendance
has yet been heard to expres8 anything but
the greatest satisfaction at the entertainment
and with the beauty of the camp, the interest of
the study of home life of the various nationalities
represented, and with the comfort expressed
while witnessing the most interesting and exciting
entertainment afforded. Arrangements
have been made by which parties desiring to
secure reserved locations in the boxes can do so
at McIntoshe's Library, No. 41 more Monroe street,
and as all means of transportation going to the
World Fair stop directly at the gates of the
Wild West it is one of the most accessible points
on the city from all parts.
