CADETS HEAR THE WILD WEST YELLS.
Veterans at Yesterday's Performance Who Have Fanious Fighting Records.
Colonel Cody, his cowboy band, his Indians, soldiers, cossacks stormed Jackson Park gates early yesterday morning, and, defying the Columbian guard, captured the fair completely. It was a parade such as no other organization in the world could make, and the people who saw it cheered wildly. Later in the day the West Point cadets, re-enforced by three score army officers, answered Colonel Cody's raid by visiting the Wild West show. Among the prominent persons present in the grand stand were:
Gen. Miles, Gen. Merritt,
Gen. Stanley, Capt. E. L. Huggins,
Capt. Francis Michler, Capt. Marlon P. Maus,
Bvt. Brig.Gen.C.M Keever, Col. Edward H. Heyl,
Maj. S. W. Groesbeck, B't, Brig. Gen. Bingham,
Byt Lieut.ColJ.H.Gllman, Col. B. J. D. Irwin,
Lieut, Col. G. W. Cande, First Lieut. C. E. Gillette.,
First LtJ.L Chamberlin, Capt. James Allen,
Bvt. Col. E. B. Williston, Capt. F. D. Baldwin,
Capt. Jesse M. Lee, Capt. D. M. Appel,
Maj. George W. Baird, Bvt. Lieut. Col. E. Rice,
Chaplain A. Allensworth, Capt. W. S. Schuyler,
Capt. E. J. McClernand, Capt. F. A. Smith,
Capt. William Baird, Capt. John Pitcher,
Capt. Howe, Lieut. Brewer,

Capt. Charles H. Heyl, Maj. G. M. Randall,
Capt. Fayette W. Roe, Col. T. C. Sullivan,
Capt. Francis B. Jones, Capt. W. L. Marshall,
Second Lt. G. R. Preston,
The present is the first time in history that the cadets of West Point have ever visited the west in a body, and at this time they meet on middle ground veterans of the army, graduates of their school, who have served their time faithfully and honorably, as well as those now in active service, and men who figured gallantly in Indian wars.
Captain Hair and Sergeant Hackett, of the Seventh cavalry, the first in the grand stand and the second in the arena, were engaged in the war with the Sioux in 1876, and escaped the fate that befell Custer by having been detailed with that portion of the regiment under Benteen.
Lieutenant Brewer and Lieutenant Pres- ton, of the Seventh cavalry, were both prominent figures In the late uprising at Wounded Knee, and Lieutenant Preston is the hero of a ride of sixteen miles from the camp to Pine Ridge, along the line of which were 7,000 hostile Indians.
