Buffalo Bill's Show Crowded--Parade of the
Company and Cowboy Band To-Day.

That Buffalo Bill's Wild West is one of
the most popular entertainments in the city
was given a thorough test yesterday, when
at both the afternoon and the evening performances
the immense grand stand was
packed to suffocation, as it usually is on
Sunday afternoons. Over 30,000 people
witnessed the two performances yesterday,
and at the night performance hundreds
were turned away unable to gain admission.
Among the guests last night by special invitation
of Messrs. Cody and Salsbury, were
400 members of the International Typographical
Union. By special invitation
of the board of directors of the world's
fair, Colonel Cody, with the entire company
and the famous cowboy band, to-day
paraded through the White City, and will
do so twice or thrice during the summer.
Through the medium of the management of
the "Wild West," Governor Russell, of Massachusetts,
and Governor Cronse, of Nebraska,
were made acquainted with each
other yesterday, as they occupied boxes adjoining
the grand stand.

Messrs. Cody and Salsbury and Major
Burke, because of their popularity with all
classes of people, are in a position to make
acquainted, one with the other, nearly all of
the distinguished visitors to Chicago during
the present summer, and it goes without
saying that no one of note will visit Chicago
without having their respects to Buffalo
Bill and his show.
