BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST.
Two hundred and eighty-eight consecutive performances of the same entertainment, and still moving on to full houses, is a record to be proud of, and Buffalo Bill's Wild West is its possessor. The attendance during the past month has far exceeded the record of any amusement enterprise. At both performances every day the grand stand is filled. To-day over two hundred marksmen of the regular army from Fort Sheridan will attend in a body and in full uniform, as all of them are interested in seeing the shooting of Colonel Cody and his company. All the ordinary methods of transportation will be running, and the special World's Fair trains of the Illinois Central will leave Van Buren street every fifteen minutes for Buffalo Bill's after 1 o'clock. Arrangements have been made by which photographs of the entire grand stand will be made from the arena before the opening of the performance at 3 o'clock to-day.
