CHICAGO AMUSEMENTS.
BOTH from a financial and popular point of
view the determination of Messrs. Cody and
Salsburry to add to the attractiveness of the exhibitions
given daily by Buffalo Bill's Wild
West has resulted in a most emphatic success.
For weeks the different types of character illustrative
of life on the plains—in peace and
war, in the home circle, on the hunt, and in
social enjoyment—have been shown most faithfully
in the arena of the "Wild West," and to
further illustrate in a forcibly realistic manner
the struggle of the earlier days in the frontier
these energetic managers have concluded to
give an actual scene from the great drama of
the Custer massacre, which occurred June 25,
1876. Col. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), as chief of
scouts of the United States army, was a conspicuous
figure in those days and times and
under the immediate command of Gen. Merritt
was inclose proximity to the scene of the battle.
This great feature is simply an addition to
the programme and in nowise cutrails or detracts
from the general excellence or fullness of
the other features. | 371Chgo Record sept 2
