MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Buffalo Bill's "Wild West," which will be one of the attractions during the World's Fair, opens at its grounds on Sixty-third street, opposite Jackson Park, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Two performances, beginning at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and 8 o'clock in the evening, will be given every day, rain or shine, until Nov. 1. The exhibition will be under the control of W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) and Nate Salsbury, and will represent the result of twenty years of experience. About 400 riders, representing all the nationalities of the earth and all degrees of civilization, will be in the saddle, and every conceivable feat of horsemanship will be included in the show. There will also be representatives of all the most prominent military nations. Among the irregular soldiery will be American Indians, Arabs, Cossacks, and Tartars, Gauchos and Mexican Rualics. The representatives of trained military will be a detachment of the Sixth Cavalry, United States Army; English Lanciers, French Chasseurs, and German Pottsdammer Reds. The contrasts which these various daring horsemen will afford will make an interesting performance.

INDIAN GIRLS' WORK.

ARTICLES MADE AT THE SCHOOL AT CARLISLE EXHIBITED.

The Products of the Brightest of the Students Add to the Display of the Institution--Dresses Which Show the Most Careful Handling and Artistic Taste--Embroidery and Paintings Done by the Descendants of the Aborigines--Those Who Have Made Remarkable Pieces.

While the Indians in the Wild West show are arranging their tepees to their perfect satisfaction and bestowing occasional "Hows" on talkative visitors there is being prepared in the gallery of the Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building an exhibit which, although it is the work of their people, is of a totally different character. This is the display of the Indian School of Carlisle, Pa. It is naturally varied in character, ranging all the way from the printed rules of the school to the articles made by the pupils.

To most visitors it is the handicrafts section that will prove of greatest interest, and if

study. They are for the most part intelligent looking faces, occasionally something even better.

The pupils at the school are said by A.J. Standing, the Assistant Superintendant, who is in charge of the exhibit, to be generally bright and teachable. One of the most interesting of the girls is Nellie Carey, who is the daughter of the famous Chief Cochise. She was at Carlisle five years, and finally, after some experience in household work, married a Comanche, also a former student at the school, and went off to the Indian Territory.

RIDING AMID THE RAIN

BUFFALO BILL'S BAND SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A HEAVY DOWNPOUR.

Opening Performance of the Season on Sixty-third Street-Cossacks, Cowboys, Indians, Bedouins, and Veteran Soldiers Car Nothing for the Elements-Their Evolutions Elicit Continuous Applause--No Such Display of Horsemanship from All Corners of the World Seen Here Before.

"Rain-in-the-Face" was the predominating feature in Buffalo Bill's great Wild West show at Jackson park yesterday. It was the opening performance given by Col. Cody's colossal combination and a perfect deluge of rain fell during nearly the entire afternoon. But that made no difference to the Indians, soldiers, cowboys, Mexicans, guacheros, Cossacks, beduoins, and other cosmopolitan celebrities who constitute Buffalo Bill's unique and powerful company.

Prior to the initial performance, which was tendered to world's fair officials, representatives of the press, and other visitors, a sumptuous spread was laid in the late Sitting Bull's cabin, which was brought from its original location on Grand river, Dakota. In this cabin the celebrated Sioux chieftain was killed and the floor and door bear testimony to the tragedy by the bullet holes with which they are riddled.

The grounds occupied by the Wild West show cover thirteen acres of ground. The amphitheater is surrounded by a covered grand stand capable of seating 14,000 people. At the north end of the amphitheater is a gigantic painting representing a mountain range, which forms a fit setting for the show. Outside the amphitheater the tepees of the Indians and the tents of the soldiers are located, while an electric-light plant furnishes the light for night performances.

Distinguished Persons Present.
Among the guests who occupied boxes yesterday were Mrs. John A. Logan and her son Clarence Logan, present minister to Chili; Maj. Robert Powell, mayor of la
