| 307BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST.
Last Thursday at the Wild West reminded
one of the scenes witnessed at their grounds
every Sunday when the world's fair is closed
and those who were not able to be present on
the occasion of the visit of 10,000 commercial
travelers, and an equal number of the poor
children of the city, by going to Sixty-third
street today can get a pretty good idea of
the immense crowd that was out on Thursday.
Buffalo Bill and his Wild West deserve
the immense patronage bestowed upon them,
for no better outdoor entertainment has
ever been presented to an amusing loving public.
The scenes of Indian warfare and the
settlement of the great western country are so
vividly realistic that the spectator finds
himself agitated almost to the point of jumping
into the arena and taking part in the
scenes. The riding, representing the various
styles of all nationalities both in rough and
refined horsemanship, is a feature new to the
public, and consequently more than acceptable
to them. The season has just run half
of its course, and the record for amusements
in America has been broken in the matter of
outdoor continuous performances, and all
records have been broken in the matter of attendance.
Mail July 29
Buffalo Bill's Wild West and congress of
rough riders of the world, at Sixty-third
street and Stony Island a venue, continues to
attract large crowds. Twice every day during
the past week, at 3 and 8:30 p. m., the immense
grand stand held more people than
any three theaters in the city could accommodate.
The exciting and exhilarating
character of the performance, the feats of
horsemanship displayed by the various nationalities
represented, the accurate marksmanship
of Col. Cody, Mr. Baker, and
Miss Oakley, the acrobatic feats of the
Arabs, and the hair-lifting scenes
depicting Indian warfare, all go to make an
entertainment varied in character, strong in
interest and educative merit. During the
past week, in addition to a larger attendance
than they have enjoyed during their stay in
the city, the Wild West has had as guests
more than 10,000 commercial travelers from
all parts of the country, and Messrs. Cody
and Salsbury have specially entertained several
thousand of the poor children of the city.
News Record July 29
It must be a source of gratification and the pride
to Messrs Cody and Salsbury that their efforts
toward furnishing a complete and perfect representation
of scenes from the wild west and
bringing together their congress of rough riders
of the world that they have met with public approval
to that extent that their business is constantly
increasing until it has reached proportions
far beyond that pf any amusement enterprise
ever exhibited in American, and that they
have broken all records for continuous performances
by one company, having already
reached nearly 200 consecutive show without
losing interest for the public. During the week,
in addition do being visited by the largest
crowds of the season they have entertained 10,000
commercial travelers and equal number of
the poor children of the city, and the jollier crowd
never got together at one time than saw Wild
West last Thursday.

National Commissioners at Pliny
Business transacted by the National
Commission to-day was the calling of the
roll to find out how many tickets to Buffalo
Bill's Wild West each member desired. Instead
of making the usual reply
of "Here" when the names were
called, "Four" or "Six" according to
the number of admission
tickets desired, was heard. After this a
number of communications were read and
ordered placed on file. But the commission
had no heart for work, and when a few
matters oi minor importance had been disposed
of it adjourned that the member
might attend the Wild West show.
Journal July 29
Buffalo Bill's Wild West show continues
to divide patronage with the World's Fair.
The rough-riders' congress doos not lose interest
by daily repetition of the
proceedings, and the feats of horsemanship
are as warmly applauded
now as when the show first
pitched its tents in Chicago. In fact the
more familiar one becomes with the exhibitions
the greater grows the desire to see the
performances again. Colonel Cody's entertainment
of the waifs one day this week
has not hurt his reputation for liberality
and humanity,
"Nana", the painting on exhibition at
The directors and officers of the Waifs' Mission
and Training School, under whose auspices
was conducted the " Poor Children's Day" celebration,
desire to thank the public for their
generous charity, the theatrical profession for
the matinée, William F. Cody for his entertainment
of the children, the Illinois Central railroad
for transportation and careful management,
J. Irving Pearce for tho picnic grounds, and the
Jumper companies for the booths.
