they chance to be women they will of course turn from the cases where harnesses and shoes made by the boys are displayed to those where all manner of feminine trifles are placed together with the photographs of the Indian girls whose work they are.

The most ambitious articles in the exhibit of woman's work are two dresses displayed on the somewhat angular figures of two sweetly smiling wooden women. One of these was made by Delia Randall, a 20-year-old girl of the Bannock tribe, the other by Nellie Fremont, who is 19 and an Omaha.

with prevailing modes and the bodice is really extremely well finished.

Miss Fremont's dress is severely tailor-made. The material is blue serge and the costume is not only well finished but it has the business-like air that is the great essential of a successful tailor-made gown.

Among the other articles of dress that have been made by Indian girls with more than creditable neatness are bed slippers crocheted in warm, red wools by Nellie Carey, an Apache girl, undergarments and a child's dress of pink lawn trimmed with ruffles of lace made by Sylvania Cooper, a Crow Indian, 18 years of age.

In fancy work and painted china there is a large representation, and whatever pangs people of romantic tendencies may experience at the thought of the daughters of terror-in-spiring Apache chiefs painting daises on placques and learning the "draw stitch," they will be forced to admit that so far as the specimens of their handicraft are concerned they show as distinct an aptitude for adopting the frills of civilization as their white sisters.

Some Samples of Work Done.

Elizabeth Sickles, 20 years old and an Oneida, contributes an embroidered sachet; Susie Davenport, a Chippewa, a doily in drawn work; Laura Long, a Wyandotte, a centerpiece embroidered with violets and love-knots; Rosa Bourossa, a Chippewa, a large knitted afghan. Rosa is, by the way, an exceptionally bright girl. She has for some time been one of the teachers in the school, and has recently taken the civil service examination in Washington.

A sofa cushion much embroidered and frilled is exhibited by Sarah Archiquette, and Apache. The only article which has about it a touch of the untamed savage is contributed by an Arapahoe girl. This is a pair of tiny beaded moccasins evidently intended for a baby's feet.

"WILD WEST" OPENS.

Col. W. F. Cody gives a Performance During a Downpour of Rain.

WAS A GREAT EXHIBITION

In Feats of Daring Horsemanship, Rifle Practice and Border Warfare.

"Buffalo Bill's" congress of Wild West riders gave their initial performance in Chicago yesterday. The performance was all that was claimed for in point of merit, and more. The performance lasted two hours and a hald, and the first half of the show was given in a pouring rain. Despite the difficulties of the weather the exhibitions of horsemanship, marksmanship and matchless nondescript feats of skillfulness and daring came off as specified in the program. Col. Cody makes it a feature to carry out specifically what he advertises.

The story of our country so far as it concerns life in the Rocky Mountains and the western plains, has never been half told. Romance itself falls far short of the reality when it attempts to depict the vanguard of pioneers, trappers and scouts, who, moving always in front, have paved the way for the safe approach of the masses behind. The name of Buffalo Bill has already become identified with what seems to be strange traditions and legends of the great west.

Hon. William F. Cody has a combination under his control that illustrates life on the plains. There are bands of Indians, stalwart in their feathers and war paint, cowboys on bucking bronchos and herds of wild buffaloes. Fine exhibitions are given in throwing the lariat, as well as the western manner of robbing mail coaches with other kindred scenes and events chracteristic of the border.

The performance began with a grand review, introducing the rough riders of the world and the fully equipped regular soldier of the armies of America, England, France, Germany and Russia. Then came Miss Annie Oakley, or "Little Sure Shot," the most celebrated markswoman in the world. She is a beautiful woman and undoubtedly the surest of all female rifle shots.

There was a free-for-all horse race in which many nationalities were represented. The pony express was a feature. A highly interesting scene was an attack on an immigrant train by Indians who are pulsed by "Buffalo Bill" with his scouts and cowboys, Cowboys, riding at full gallop, leaned from their saddles and snatched small articles from the ground.

The feature of the show is the attack and capture of the Deadwood coach by Indians. This is a most realistic scene. "Buffalo Bill" gave an exhibition of his wonderful ability with the rifle. Performances will continue twice daily,

THE Hon. Buffalo Bill can hardly be considered a weather mascot.

Beaver;" J. Irving Pearce, and many world's fair officials. There are seventy-six Ogallala and Brule Sioux with the big show, among them several noted warriors, such as Rain-in-the-Face, the slayer of Capt. Tom Custer; Rocky Bear and No Neck, who have made the tour of the world with Col. Cody; young Red Cloud, son of the old Red Cloud, Standing Bear, High Bear, and Flat Iron. The latter is the town crier and makes all the announcements to the tribe in a tone of voice that resembles a planing mill in operation.

Buffalo Bill has other celebrities, however, besides the red men. There is a genuine Cossack chieftan, Prince Ivan Matheradse; Mahomet Ali, a real bedouin sheik; John Nelson, one of the oldest and best known scouts in the west, and Miss Annie Oakley, one of the best shots in the world. There are cowboys galore and guacheros from the steppes of the Andes, sons of Montezuma; fierce Cossacks of the Don mounted on "Tartars of the Ukraine breed;" gayly comparisoned troops of United States, British, German and French cavalry; a horde of Arabs mounted on thoroughbreds; buffaloes, bucking mustangs, wild horses of the plains, and last but not least the celebrated cowboy band, which can give many of the crack military bands pointers when it comes to music.

Grand Review of Rough Riders.

The Wild West show is going to be a howling success if the excellence of the performance yesterday can be taken as a criterion. It is a panorama of wild life from start to finish, with touches of military splendor and discipline to bring it up to a high standard. The program consisted of a grand review of the rough riders of the world. Perhaps never before have so many widely dwelling horsemen been seen together. The Indian, the Mexican, the Arab, the cowboy, the Cossack, the South American guachero, and the trained cavalryman, appearing together in daring feats of horsemanship, drew forth thunders of applause. It may be remarked that the average Cossack rides as easily with his heels in the air as any other way, while the western cowboy takes the palm in the matter of rough-and-tumble riding.

Some of the features are startingly realistic. The attack on an emigrant train by a crowd of half-naked, howling savages and their defeat by a party of scouts and cowboys is something that surpasses the wildest dreams of the "tank drama" school. The attack on the old Deadwood stage coach and the seige of a settler's cabin by the blood-thirsty redskins are of the same thrilling nature. The military evolutions of the cavalry is bound to appeal to the feminine heart. These are participated in by a company of the First Uhlan regiment of Emperor William - "Potsdamer Reds," a company of French chasseurs, and a company of the Twelfth landers (prince of Wales' regiment) of the Birtish army.

The Arabs give besides their exhibition in horsemanship a novel program in acrobatic and athletic feats. Miss Anna Oakley, Johnny Baker, and Col. Cody furnish plenty of astonishment by their unique feats of sharpshooting.

The Wild West show this year has 450 persons connected with it, and it promises to be one of the most popular of the many amusements brought before world's fair visitors and the people of Chicago.

A new and most interesting feature was added last week to the excellent programme of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and was witnessed by an immense audience. After weeks of careful preparation Messrs. Cody and Salsbury presented to the public a most realistic reproduction of the famous "Battle of the Little Big Horn; or Custer's Last Charge." The audience saw not only that picturesque hero of the plains, Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), who was chief of scouts and attached to Gen. Merritt's command near the scene of conflict but several of the very Indian cheifs who helped win the desperate struggle. Many soldiers of the United States army who were in the presentation at the "Wild West." This remarkable performance will now be a permanent and most attractive feature of every exhibition and will doubtless increase the interest in attendance at the grand entertainment.
