384Dispatch Sept 9 BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST. Always alive to the needs and comforts of the patrons, Messrs. Cody and Salsbury, managers and proprietors of that great international historical, educational and spectacular exhibition, Buffalo Bill's Wild West, have made arrangements for the regular running of the world's fair fast special trains of the Illinois Central railroad direct to their grounds on every Sunday during the remainder of their season. Commencing at 11 o'clock p.m., special trains will leave Van Buren street viaduct every fifteen minutes, returning after each of the two performances given at 3 and 8:30 o'clock p.m. The ride is a pleasant one, lasting only fifteen minutes, and there will be plenty of cars, thus assuring each passenger a comfortable seat both going and coming. These specials added to their means of transportation, including the alley "L," the suburban, the grip and the electric cars, will enable all who desire to witness the remarkable entertainment ample means of doing so in comfort. All these roads land passengers within a few feet of the entrances to the Wild West. [?] Sep 11 It is a pity that the Illinois Central people do not understand that if 200,000 people visit the fair one day they will come again the next day, whether it is Sunday or not. Standing at the food of the viaduct at Van Buren street yesterday morning it was sad to watch the crowds ascend the platform toward the fast express trains only to be sent back by the able policeman whose duty it is to tell the Sunday pleasure seekers that "Detraius don't run on Sunday." In an hour's time yesterday morning as many people came to the viaduct for world's fair trains as on any day in May or the early part of June, except special days when the attendance was increased by visiting press associations and state ceremonies. The attendance at the grounds yesterday was good, when it is considered that the fair is practically closed. Sight-seers who do not care if it is Sunday or Wednesday, who came long distances to see the fair, and who, having only a short stay in town, make use of every moment at the grounds. Buffalo Bill asked for trains in the afternoon and evening, as the attendance at his show was falling off, and he got them. The elevated was crowded, people standing on the platforms all the way, the cable cars did a good business, and all because fast trains were running. The fair itself looked lively, the electric launches running with good boat loads, and the gondolas started for the first time Sundays, in the afternoon carrying lots of people. The fair will be open from now on Sunday, and every accommodation should be made for the visitors. At the Fifty-seventh street gate crowds were standing in line. Twenty-three thousand people paid admissions at the grounds up to 2 o'clock, making a very respectable showing for Sunday and no trains. [?] Sep 11 BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST. Herald Sep 11 Buffalo Bill entertained as guests at his Saturday's performance and afterward at luncheon Mrs. Alice Shaw, the whistler, Miss Rose Coghlan, Bishops Woodruff, Cannon and Smith fo the Mormon church, the Duke of Seramoneta and the Prince of Tiana, of the families Cantania of Italy, and Chevalier Grant, royal Italian commissioner to the fair. The Duke of Seramoneta, when Colonel Cody played his Wild West in Rome, furnished some obstreperous horses, believing they could not be ridden by American cowboys, but the cowboy proved himself a master of the beast. The prince and the duke are unobstrusive young men, anxious to hear and see without being made too much of. The kindness with which Colonel Cody and Mr. Salsbury were treated with their company in Rome by the parents of these gentlemen made them welcome visitors to the Wild West. A number of United States army sharpshooters watched Miss Oakley yesterday. Herald Sep [12?] JACKSON PARK SKETCHES. "Now cry ont 'ladies and genglemen,'" said Major Burke. The face opened again and the roar that came from between the heavy jaws shook the ridge pole of Colonel cody's tent. It did not take the jury long to reach a verdict. The lowly peanut vender was there and then promoted to the exalted position of lecturer, with instructions to let his hair grow and buy himself a white sombrero. The Bosten crier went home the next day. Herald Sep 11 COL. CODY'S DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. The attendance at the "Wild West" has been remarkably large during the past week, probably surpassing the record of any previous week during its season, and it will surely grow with the increase of the number of visitors to the world's fair. Its exhibition is built upon the solid foundation of historical fact and artistic arrangement, (IMAGE) and is educational in [?] character, while being in every respect interesting and instructive. The arrangement of the auditorium has been made with a special purpose of affording all possible comfort to audiences, while enabling the occupant of every seat a full perfect view of every act of the commencement of the performance the audience is treated to a musical entertainment by the celebrated cowboy band, whose music always elicits hearty applause. During the past week the Wild West has been visited by many notables, who came to see the world's fair, and to assist in the celebration of special occasions in honor of their respective states. Governor Flower, of New York, and staff; Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, and staff; Governor Brown, of Maryland, and a distinguished party, and Governor Peck, of Wisconsin, have all been interested spectators of the great Wild West exhibition, and all were lavish in their hearty expressions of delight at its many varied features. Times Sep 11 During the last week the wonderful exhibitions given by Buffalo Bill's Wild West have been witnessed by a succession of very large and enthusiastic audiences, making it probably the most successful week of the season from a financial standpoint. Many distinguished visitors to the world's fair city were prominent in the audience at the Wild West. Among others may be specially noted Gov. Flower of New York, Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Gov. Brown of Maryland' and Gov. Peck of Wisconsin, each accompanied by his staff and party or friends, all high in the political and social sphere of their representative states. To this list may be added Bishops Woodruff, Cannon, and Smith of the Mormon church, and members of the great choir of the Mormon temple of Salt Lake City, Utah. Most of the prominent Welshman and Welsh singers that ahve been attending the Eisteddfod held at the world's fair during the last week were also visitors to the Wild West. Today the Illinois central will run express trains from Van Bureu street to the Wild West from 1 p.m. on. Times Sep 11 Buffalo Bill had had his usual croweded attendance yesterday, in the audience being several distinguuished parties, including Miss Alice Shaw, the celebrated whistler, Miss Rose Coghlan, Mormon bishops, and others attending the performance, and afterward joining Colonel Cody and Mr. Salsbury at camp luncheon was the Duke of Seramoneta and the Prince of Tiana, of the families Cantania, of Italy, one of the largest families of that country, the family having furnished four popes, one of them as far back as a thousand years ago. Others at the lunch was Chevalier Grant, the [?] Italian commissioner to the World's Fair. [?] and Mrs. Smith, of California, and Mrs. Nate Salsbury. To-day (Sunday) a number of the United States army sharpshooters will bisit the Wild West in a body and take points from Colonel Cody, Mr. Baker, and Miss Oakley in the handling of the gun. [?] Ocean Sep 11 BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST. This entertainment is enormously successful. The weekly receipts are hardly credible, but its popularity seems to be on the increase as the season wears away. It is a remarkable show, and more than fulfills the expectations of visitors. The realistic reproduction of the battle of the Little Big Horn, or Custer's last charge has attracted widespread attention and won enthusiastic applause at every performance. The more familiar features seem to be, and indeed are, just as attractive to-day as when first presented to the public. globe Sep 11 Buffalo Bill's Wild West. It was a stroke of enterprise that deserved and received immediate recognition at the hands of the public when the management of Buffalo Bill's Wild West completed arrangements with the Illinois Central rialroad by which the World's Fair fast trains from Van Buren street were to run every Sunday after 1 o'clock in the afternoon until the close of their night performance, thus affording quick and easy transportation from the center of the city to the thousands who desire to visit the Wild West on Sunday, but were deterred from doing so because of the late hour at which they reached home by the slow and frequent stopping methods of other lines. Residents of the North and West side, as well as guests at the hotels, can now visit Wild West on Sunday and be at Van Buren street within less than twenty minutes after the performance is concluded, either afternoon or evening. The elevated, electric, grip and horse cars, as well as suburban trains of the Illinois Central, continue their usual schedule, and South side residents have all the benefis they previously enjoyed in the matter of transportation. Superintendent of Admissions Tucker, of the World's Fair, stated last Sunday evening that the enterprise of the Buffalo Bill people in putting on the yellow cars had resulted in a very appreciable increase in the attendance at the Fair on that day. During the past week the attendance at the Wild West has been phenomenally large, and every item of the absorbingly interesting program has received hearty approval and applause of the audiences. Now that the crops are put away and the country cousins are visiting the city a very material increase in the patronage is noticeable, and every one who attends goes away prepared and determined to advertise the great enterprise and to advise his friends that a visit to the World's Fair without one to Buffalo Bill's Wild West is a very poor proceeding on the part of anyone visiting Chicago. The week just closed has seen the presence in the grand stand and the boxes of several distinguished parties, among them Gov. Flower, of New York, and his staff; Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, and his staff; Gov. Peck, of Wisconsin, and his staff; Gov. Brown, of Maryland, and his staff; Mayor Gilrov, of New York, and Hon. Martin B. Brown, public printer of New york, with their party; Dr. Carl Peters and the eminent savant of Germany with a party; Mrs. Mary Davies, the eminent Welsh singer, and a number of friends; Bishops Cannon, Woodruff and Smith, of the Mormon Church, and a number of famous Morman squires from Salt Lake City, together with a large party of Welsh and American singers now in attendance on the Elsteddfod, and towind up the week in a blaze of glory the famous Whitechapel club will to-night occupy boxes and will no doubt prove themselves Indians more noisy than those engaged in the arena. The Wild West is truly the Mecca to which the faces of all World's Fair visitors are turned, and twice every day at 3 and 8:30 P.M, large crowds of citizens and strangerscan be found there. The performances have now reached nearly 300, and only about fifty days more of the season remains, and with the large number of strangers coming into the city it will be well for our resident population, who have thus far denied themselves the pleasure of the visit, to take early advantages of the opportunities offered them before the weather changes, if such a misfortune should befall our city this season. Herald Sep 1 Distinguished Visitors at the Wild West. Times Sep 15 GO TO SEE THE ROUGH RIDERS. Among the spectators at Buffalo Bill's Wild West yesterday afternoon there was a large party of distinguished persons, among them Assistant Secretary of State McAdoo, the famous sculptor Bartholdi, whose box was draped in the tri-color and star-spangled banner, and who was received by the band playing the "Marseillaise;" Cardinal Gibbons and fifteen bishops and church dignitaries, Mrs. Gen. Miles and a party of twenty-five officers and ladies from Fort Sheridan. [?] Sep 15 Notables at Buffalo Bill's Inter Ocean Sep 15 Notable Visitors at Buffalo Bill's. In the immense audience at Buffalo Bill's "Wild West" yesterday afternoon there was a large party of distinguished persons, among them Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo, the famous sculptor, Bartholdi, whose box was draped in the tricolor and star spangled banner, and who was received by the band playing the "Marseillaise;" Cardinal Gibbons and fifteen bishops and church dignitaries, Mrs. General Miles and a party of twenty-five officers and ladies from Fort Sheridan. Tribune Sep 10 During the last two months the World's Fair special trains from the Van Buren street viaduct have been inoperative Sundays. A stroke of good management on the part of the Wild West people, however, has again placed in motion the yellow cars of the Illinois Central on the first day of the week and the crowds which wish to visit Col. Cody's interesting arena at Sixty-fourth street are thus given quick and convenient transportation from down-town. During the last week the attendance at Buffalo Bill's has been large enough to exceed that of any previous week during the season. In addition to the tens of thousands of ordinary visitors there have been several distinguished parties, notably Gob. Flower and staff of New York, gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Gov. Peck and staff of Wisconsin, Mrs. Mary Davies, the noted Welsh singer, and a party of frineds; Dr. Carl Peters, the eminent German savant, and a number of friends; a large party of distingusihed prelates of the Catholic Church who are in attendance at the Catholic Congress, Bishops Woodruff, Smith, and Cannon of the Mormon Church, together with a large party of the Mormon choir, and the American and Welsh singers in attendance at the Eisteddfod. Buffalo Bill's entertainment is so varied in its character and so novel in its features that it attracts and pleases all classes of people. Over 300 performances have been given during the season, and only a short time now remains before it will be withdrawn altogether. Interocean Sep 14 People were turned away by the hundreds. As a gentlemen was turning back from the door he made the remark to whoever might hear; "It's no use. You cannot get in?" A man in the crowd said to his friend: "I don't care what he says; I must get in, I'm going in any way. There are three things I said that I was to see when I came to the World's Fair-Buffalo Bill, 'America,' and Dr. Gunsaulus, and I'm going to do it." Sunday night or not, the crowd laughed at the sifted combination of Chicago's wonders. The man persevered until he was successful in getting into the church. Tribune Sep 15 Cardinal Gibbons and a large party of friends visited Jackson Park yesterday. They left Archbishop Feehan's residence at an early hour and drove in carriages to the Sixtieth street gate. In front of the Woman's Building they took Director-General Davis' electric launch and paid hurried visits to the Administration, Agricultural, Manufactures, Electrical, and Mines and Mining Buildings, taking in La Rabida on their way. They then went to the Ohio Building, where the Cardinal paid his respects to Gov. McKinley. From the Ohio Buidling the party went to Lady Aberdeen's Irish Village, where lunch had been prepared for them in the room over the office. Archbishop Ireland was expected to join them here, but for some reason unknown did not do so. While eating lunch the party enjoyed a concert on the platform in the court got up expressly for their entertainment. The party left the village at 3 p.m. to attend the Wild West, then take dinner at the Washington club at 5 p.m., and return to the Fair in the evening to enjoy the illumination. The Cardinal leaves today for Dubuque.
