--H. S. Boal, who had been passing a week or ten days in days in Chicago, returned home Friday, bringing with him an important draft horse. He of course was present at the opening of the Wild West Show, and though the weather for the first week was wet and cold, there was a fair audience present at the performances. Mr. Boal is confident that the show will be a money-maker.
