WHY BUFFALO BILL STAID AWAY.

Illinois Fair Commissioners In a Row Over
Somebody's Blunder.

THE CHICAGO RECORD
WORLD'S FAIR BUREAU.

Buffalo Bill did not take part in yesterday's
parade in honor of Illinois day and a big row
is on in the state board of Fair commissioners.
It seems that Mr. Cody was authorized to
parade inside the grounds by Director-General
Davis and a permit was issued, which was
revoked at 11 o'clock Thursday night. President
Funk, Col. Judy and Mr. Pearce, the
committee on arrangements, were informed
yesterday by the council of administration that
the Wild West parade would make too much
of a crowd, besides the permit was issued without
the council's knowledge. Then the committee
made arrangements for a Wild West
parade to-day, but the rest of the state commissioners
repudiated the arrangement.

President Higinbotham said las evening
that Mr. Cody's show is not dignified enough
for such an occasion; that it was not an Illinois
affair, and that the crowds were too great
for such a procession.
