GALA TIMES AT THE "WILD WEST."
By the closing of the world's fair many
thousands of amusement seekers find themselves
at a loss how to spend their Sundays
at some alfresco entertainment, and they
all turn their faces toward that popular resort
at Sixty-third street and Stony Island
avenue, Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress
of Rough Riders of the World. Here
twice every day, rain or shine, Sundays included,
at,3 and 8:30 o'clock p. m., performances
will be given of a character at which
the, most captious cannot carp. Here, in
the representation of the early history of
our own country, as well as of the lives and
habits of the various races of the earth,
gathered together in this inclosure,
and the picturesque evolutions of the
detachments will be found entertainment and
instruction for all classes of people.
Next Thursday, the first day of
great commercial travelers' convention
of the United States, the entire
body of these "knights of the gripsack" will
visit Buffalo Bill's Wild West, and it goes
without question that it will be a red letter
day, both in the history of the entertainment
and of the visitors. The large crowds that
have attended the performances of the
"Wild West" since the opening have proved
conclusively that it is one of the most popular
entertainments in the city, and as the railroads
reduce their rates and the crowd of
visitors Increases, no doubt the business of
Buffalo Bill will grow proportionately, and
the management has already taken into
consideration the advisability of meeting the
necessity by erecting a second story to the
grand stand, which with its 18,000 seats will
hardly hold the crowds expected during
August, September and October.
