WHY BUFFALO BILL STAID AWAY.
Illinois Fair Commissioners In a Row Over Somebody's Blunder.
THE CHICAGO RECORD WORLD'S FAIR BUREAU.
Buffalo Bill did not take part in yesterday's parade in honor of Illinois day and a big row is on in the state board of Fair commissioners. It seems that Mr. Cody was authorizéd to parade inside the grounds by Director-General Davis and a permit was issued, which ¡was revoked at 11 o'clock Thursday night. President Funk, Col. Judy and Mr. Pearce, the committee on arrangements, were informed yesterday by the council of administration that the Wild West parade would make too much of a crowd, besides the permit was issued without the council's knowledge. Then the committee made arrangements for a Wild West parade to-day, but the rest of the state commissioners repudiated the arrangement.
President Higinbotham said las evening that Mr. Cody's show is not dignified enough for such an occasion; that it was not an Illinois affair, and that the crowds were too great for such a procession.
