276[.....?] Ocean July 16 FUN FOR THE WAIFS. [......?] - Ocean July 16 Mrs. Potter Palmer, chief patroness of poor children's day, in conjunction with Superintendent Dariels, director general of the occasion, at length sees daylight ahead in giving the waifs their day at the World's Fair. The great difficulty has been that the Directory feared that 10,000 waifs in the grounds would give more trouble than a box of monkeys let loose in a barrel of parrots. Mrs. Palmer has been several times before the board to plead her cause. President Higinbotham is at length looking more favorably on the idea, and the executive committee will doubtless fall in with the proposed arrangement. As at present arranged the monster picnic will gather at 8 o'clock on Market street, between Madison and Randolph streets, and after the usual parade the Illinois Central trains, which have been kindly donated for the occasion, will be boarded at Van Buren street, and the party will be whirled to Sixty-first street. Entering at this gate the children will be received by Mrs. Potter Palmer and a party of her friends. They will be kept in a body and parade through the grounds in charge of their marshals and teachers, leaving by the Sixty-third street gate, when lunch will be served. Then Buffalo Bill will receive the youngsters and bid them welcome to the Wild West show, where they will see the performance. After this the sports will take place, and a rapid trip will be made to the city in time to let the newsboys hustle the afternoon papers. Food and clothing will be needed in large quantities, and lunch boxes are now being sent out to be filled by benevolent people. Each box holds lunch for one boy or gil. They will be sent to any address on a notification to Superintendent Daniels, Waifs' Mission, No. 44 State street, and they will be gathered up again on the evening before Poor Children's day, July 26. It is requested that every boy in the city from 10 to 15 years, who owns a pony and saddle will accept a position on the staff of the director general as aide-de-camp. Names should be sent in at once to the address above given. [.......?} Ocean July 16 THE WILD WEST. The attendance at the Wild West continues to be phenomenally large, and the audiences are as enthusiastic to-day as they were at the opening in April. The grand stand erected in the enclosure at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue is twice each day occupied by a larger crowd than were ever seen at any regular outdoor entertainment in Chicago. "Age does not wither nor custom stale its infinite variety." From the time that Professor Sweeney and his cowboy band strike the first note of the overture until the last performer has disappeared behind the hills of the grand canon, not one moment intervenes that the most blase amusement seeker could call dull. The rapidity with which one item of the programme follows another, the strong contrasting elements that enter into the various acts are well calculated to rivit the attention and evoke the applause of the spectator, but aside from the many attractive features of the entertainment proper, the beauties of the well-shaded camp, and a visit thereto, studying the home life of the various nationalities represented, is in itself well worth the price of admission to the whole. The management of the Wild West is constantly alive to the needs of patrons, and is active in preparing for their comfort. Seats can be had at McIntosh's Library by those desiring to procure them previous to going to the grounds. [.......?] Ocean July 16. HONORED "BUFFALO BILL." Yesterday afternoon the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Fair were visitors to the Wild West show, and occupied a tier of boxes. They were very enthusiastic in their applause and expressed themselves as delighted at the entertainment. After Colonel Cody had finished his expert shooting, and he was at his best, Mrs. Harvey H. Smith, acting register of the United States Treasury, stepped to the front and on behalf of the ladies presented him with a handsome bouquet of flowers and an Isabella coin mounted in the style of a medal, accompanying the same with the following words: "Colonel Cody: On behalf and by direction of the Board of Lady Managers of the World's Fair, your guests to-day, I beg to hand you one of the first of the Isabella souvenir coins issued to the Board of Lady Managers, by act of Congress, and to hand you a small-bunch of flowers as a testimonial of their appreciation of yourself as a scout, frontiersman, statesman, and citizen. The board recognize your worth in all these regards and will in the future make a more formal expression of their appreciation to your courtesy." Colonel COdy responded in a very brief manner thanking the ladies for their kindness, and assuring them of his appreciation of their visit. Globe July 16 Buffalo Bill's Wild West. At no time since the beginning of the season in the latter part of April has the business done by Buffalo Bill's Wild West and congress of rough riders at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue been more satisfactory than during the past week. The continued presence of these crowds at each performance attests the strong attractive power of the Wild West, as the constant applause given to each act of the performance is the best evidence that the public taste in seeking for amusements has been satisfied by the entertainment provided by Col. Cody and Nate Salsbury. The great variety of style in this entertainment, together with the strong human interest that is felt in it are well calculated to impress the eye and mind of the spectator with a strong interest. As an exposition of horsemanship and marksmanship this exhibition is unequalled in the history of amusements, and the various styles of equipments used by the different nationalities represented added to the variety of color in the costuming of the riders not only form a beautiful study in the art of riding, but creates a beautiful and lasting impression on the mind. Aside from the entertainment proper as given in the arena there is a great deal at the Wild West grounds calculated to interest the visitor. The trees that two months ago were simple bare poles are to-day covered with foliage, making a most beautiful shaded and cool retreat. Underneath them are 100 tents in which live nearly 500 people of a dozen different nationalities daily engaged in the homeslife work and amusements natural to their countries. This camp is always open to the inspection of the visitor, who never tires of studying it. It is in a measure a good foundation for a liberal education, and a study of the customs and manners of various types of people living there. The management, desirous of adding at in their power to the comfort of their patrons, have establishe a good restaurant within the enclosure at which all the market affords can be had at the most reasonable prices. The various transportation lines going to the World's Fair stop to receive and discharge passengers immediately within the adjoining Wild West grounds, and parties desiring to secure tickets before leaving the city can do so at McIntosh's library, No. 31 Monroe street.

So it adjourned at 2:30 o'clock until Monday afternoon in order that the members might attend that entertainment. Previous to adjournment it succeeded in confirming a few names on the foreign list of jurors and three under Department K of the domestic jurors. The foreign women confirmed were all from Russia. They were the Princess Schahovskoy, Fine Arts and Furs; Mlle. Hilden Aagen, Manufactures; Mme. Lugoska, Fine Arts; Mme. Smechkine, Education. Three names confirmed under Department K were Marie Sollari of Memphis, Tenn.; Mary Hallock Foote, Idaho; Miss Emily Sartain; Pennsylvania. [........?] Ocean July 16 HONORED "BUFFALO BILL."

Chicago Journal of [........?] July 20 A WORLD'S FAIR ANNEX. BUFFALO BILL's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders may not be a World's Fair exhibit, and being located outside of Jackson Park, probably is not, but it would be difficult to pursudate something like a million boys, and not a few men, that it is not, or at least ought not to be. Shows are of two classes, shows and fakes. The wonderful combination presented by Col. W. F. Cody, (Buffalo Bill) at Sixty-third street and Stoney Island avenue, adjoining the World's Fair, belongs to the first class; it is a show, before which all other shows fade--in other words, it is the greatest show we ever saw, and we have been in the show business, as spectators, ever since we were able to elude the argus-eyed canvas-man and crawl under the canvas. As well go to Rome, where this show has been by the way, and not see St. Peters, as come to Chicago and miss the marvelous exhibition of rough riding to be seen at the Wild West Show. We advise you, good people, not to leave Chicago without taking in Buffalo Bill and his Wild West. Mail July 22 Everybody seems to want to visit Buffalo Bill's Wild West at least once during the summer, and many are not satisfied unless they visit it twice a week. The closing of the world's fair on Sunday will add so materially to the attendance at the Wild West that there is no question but the seating capacity of the grand stand will be found wanting. On Tuesday next several thousand of the poor children of the city will be entertained by Messrs. Cody and Salsbury, and on Thursday, the first day of the meeting of the Commercial Travelers of the United States, several thousand of these jolly drummers from all parts of the country will make the board fence ring in applauding the feats of Col. Cody and his rough riders. As usual every day, rain or shine, Sundays included, at 3 and 8:30 p. m., performances will be given. Chicago [.........?] July 22 TO THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUND. PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., July 17.--Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses, the head chief of the whole Sioux Naion, dropped dead at Newscastle, Wyo. He and Little Wound left this agency some few weeks ago with a party of sixty Indians to visit their Indian friends, the Crows, at Crow (IMAGE) agency. Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses was the most remarkable Indian of all the Sioux, a great friend of the government, as was proved by his actions in the outbreak at this agency in 1890-91, and the late murder of February 18 of the four white men on White river. It was through his assistance that the police arrested the murderers. By his death without any lineal descendants the mantle of chiefship falls to Little Wound. Chicago Globe July 22 BOOKS AND AUTHORS. BUFFALO BILL. FROM PRAIRIE TO PALACE. If there is one fault to be found with Gen. W. F. Cody's book it is that the interest is too absorbing for absolute comfort to the reader this torrid weather. As an authentic history of the wild west, in combination with stories of adventure, sketches and anecdotes of the brave scout, Buffalo Bill, the book is a success of esteem. It is moreover a work of patriotic significance to every American on account of the very faithful picture which it presentes of the red man in his home life and with war paint in evidence. In as much as Chicago is at present in the throes of hero worship induced by the appearance here of Buffalo Bill and his energetic followers, his book will doubtless enjoy a vogue commensurate with its merit. John M. Burke (Arizona John) is to be congratulated upon the able disposition which he has made of the interesting matter at his disposal. The style of the volume is comprehensive and finished, and in the matter of descriptions and word painting it merits high praise. Illustrations are abundant, the most attractive being the frontispiece, which is a fine likeliness of Buffalo Bill's own handsome self. Daily Globe July 21 Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Riders of the World at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue is in popular estimation as an attractive place of resort second only to the great World's Fair. Col. Cody and Mr. Salsbury have excelled themselves in their efforts to present a complete entertainment, in representing features of the early history, settlement and development of the western hemisphere, as well as the more picturesque characters that have made horsemanship popular in the east. The contrasting elements consituting what is known as Buffalo Bill's Wild West are so varied in their characteristics as to impress the visitor strongly with its value as an entertainment, both interesting and educative. Two performances are given every day, both afternoon and evening, as usual. On Tuesday afternoon will be Waif's day at the Wild West when Messrs. Cody and Salsbury will entertain several thousand of the poor children of the city, and on Thursday, the first day of the commercial travelers' reunion of the United States the entire body of these jolly fellows will occupy seats in the grand stand of the Wild West. It is safe to say that both on Tuesday and Thursday Buffalo Bill will have as appreciative and enthusiastic audiences as he ever faced before. No new features have recently been added to the entertainment, as it has been found that interest grows in the performances of the Indians, cowboys, Mexicans, Russians, Arabs and soldiers of the various nationalities, as well as in the feats of horsemanship and marksmanship by the experts in that line of business. The closing of the World's Fair on Sunday leaves Buffalo BIll as the only purveyor of al fresc entertainment to the great mass of people who have no other opportuity to enjoy themselves. It is a foregone conclusion that to-day and each succeeding Sunday there will be more applications for seats than can possibly be accommodated during the summer. Dispatch July 22 Cody and Salsbury next Thursday will entertain one of the cheeriest nad most appreciative audiences that has ever attended a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders of the world. The commercial traveleres of the United States are to spend three days in the city and have put as the first item on their program of entertainment a visit in a body to the Wild West. The fame of this aggregation has reached the utmost parts of the country and the commercial travelers, like all other visitors to Chicago, realize the fact that in order to thoroughly appreciate the beauties of the world's fair and to quickly understand the advancement made in the arts, sciences, etc., of this country in late years it is necessary to draw the sharpest contrast between the present and the past and at Buffalo Bill's Wild West they have a faithful and historically correct representation of what but a few years ago was the condition of this country. Two performances are given every day at 3 and 8:30 p. m., rain or shine, and, as the world's fair is now closed on Sunday, friendly advice to those intending to visit the Wild West on Sunday is that they get there early. Chicago [.....?] July 22 Messrs. Cody and Salsbury will on Thursday next entertain one of the cheeriest and most appreciative audiences that has ever attended a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and congress of rough riders of the world. The commercial travelers of the United States are to spend three days in the city and have put as the first item on their programme of entertainment a visit in a body to the Wild West at 63d street and Stony Island avenue. They will be enabled to see peoples of various nationalities, such as Russians, Cossacks, Syrians, Arabians, and soldiers of the best armies of the old world. Post July 23 Messrs. Cody and Salsbury, proprietors of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, with a generosity begotten of warm hearts and charitable disposition, will on Thursday afternoon next entertain at the Wild West several thousand of the poor children of the city, and it is safe to say that a more appreciative or enthusiastic audience than will be in the inclosure at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue it would be hard to find in any part of the word. It will be a sight well worth seeing to witness the enjoyment given to the poor children by these generous managers. | 276[.....?] Ocean July 16 FUN FOR THE WAIFS.
