Buffalo Bill Wild West and congress of
rough riders of the world at 63d street and
Stony Island avenue continues to attract
large crowds, who express their, appreciation
of the entertainment afforded them by
continuous and loud applause. Twice every
day during the last week, at 3 and 8:30
p. m., the immense grand-stand held more
people than any three theaters in the city
could accommodate. The exciting and
exhilarating character of the performance, as
well as the Wonderful blending of colors,
the gorgeous wrappings of the Indian warriors
and the modern soldiers, together with
the feats of horsemanship displayed by the
various nationalities represented, the accurate
marksmanship of Col. Cody, Mr. Baker,
Annie Oakley, the aerobatic feats of the
Arabs and the hair lifting scenes depicting
Indian warfare, all go to make an entertainment
varied in character, strong in interest
and educative merit and the public is quick
to realize that in this exhibition it has
what it has long sought. during the
last week in addition to a larger attendance
than it has enjoyed during its stay
in the city, the Wild West has had as
guests more than 10,000 commercial travelers
from all parts of the country and
Messrs. Cody and Salsbury have especially
entertained several thousand of the poor
children of the city. The closing of the
World's Fair has made Sunday a choice day
for visiting the Wild West, and the railroads,
recognizing the fact that extra demands
will be made in their ordinary traffic,
have arranged to run special trains between
down-town station and Wild West
the Illinois Central running frequent
and rapid suburban trains especially for the
accommodation of the Wild West visitors
and at the regular World's-Fair rate of 10
cents each way.
