Buffalo Bill is in favor of Sunday closing. It sends the people over to his inclosure to watch the bucking ponies, the Cossack daredevils and the Sioux ghose-dancers. Yesterday he had a crowd of 18,000, including the duke of Veragua, the duchess and the ducal suite, and the entire array of visiting naval officers. On 63d street the crowd jammed into the white gates until the cow-boys had to stop selling tickets. The show had begun when the naval officers arrived in coaches and were led to privated boxes, one whole section of which they filled. A few minutes later the ducal party arrived in carriages and was loudly cheered by the people in the street. The entire suite, excepting the Marquis Barbolles and the Marquis Villalobar, marched into the grand stand, led by Maj. Burke under his broad white hat, and took a reserved box in the center. Most of the people in the grand stand rose to their feet and applauded. Just at that part of the programme Miss Annie Oakley was popping away at glass balls. The duke fell in with the show and when she broke eleven balls, one after the other, he clapped his hands. For two hours he watched the blood-and-thunder tactics of the arena with every show of interest, seeming especially pleased with the reckless riding of the cow-boys and Cossacks. Several of the Spanish naval officers came over to the box and presented their compliments. When the different cavalry companies gave their exhibition drill the standard-bearer, who carried the American flag, dipped the color as he galloped by the box. The ducal party became a part of the exhibition.

Buffalo Bill Meets the Duke.

Buffalo Bill did some fancy shooting on horseback and then dashed over to the private box, when he shook hands with the duke and made a number of bows to the others of the party. He then ran down the steps, leaped on his prancing sorrel and cut across the arena like a whirlwind, to the shrieking

delight of the boys on the benches. The ducal party and the naval officers remained to the close the performance.

The gates were shut, but the public flocked to the World's Fair neighborhood just the same. They lounged around the entrances or straggled up and down the high fenc ienclosing the Midway plaisance. This was a good thing for the side-shows, the cowboy exhibits and the Lake avenue places where sell things to eat and drink. All these institutions made a lot of money. Although the Illinois Central did not run its yellow Exposition trains on quick time it made a cheap rate on the regular suburban trains and landed several thousand people at the World's Fair stations.

Each viaduct over the Midway plaisance is hedged by tall fences with ugly strings of

Buffalo Bill's Big Show.

The exhibitions of the great Wild West at Sixty-third street, opposite the world's fair, constantly grow in public favor and the enthusiasm of the spectators is unbounded. The character of the entertainment is so unique, its various features so realistic, and as an entirety it is so practically illustrative of the scenes, incidents, and people who inhabit the prairies and mountains of the far west that it is not surprising that it has already become a fixed and powerful world's fair attraction. The Wild West is unprecedented as an attraction that introduces the identical characters of whom it tells. The Indians that take part in the entertainment are the very ones who were prominent in the stirring scenes of the frontier; the horses they ride are veritable untamed western products, and the scenes they enact have been actual occurrences. The Cossacks, Arabs, Mexicans, and cowboys are not imitators, but are the genuine articles, and the military are actual enlisted members of the different corps they represent. Last, but the most prominent of all, is Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), whose record as scout, guide, and hero of the plains is attested by the highest military authority, and whose history is part of the history of the early days of the great wild west. The vast arena is crowded at every performance, there being two each day, no matter what the character of the weather.
