276[.....?] Ocean July 16 FUN FOR THE WAIFS. [......?] - Ocean July 16 Mrs. Potter Palmer, chief patroness of poor children's day, in conjunction with Superintendent Dariels, director general of the occasion, at length sees daylight ahead in giving the waifs their day at the World's Fair. The great difficulty has been that the Directory feared that 10,000 waifs in the grounds would give more trouble than a box of monkeys let loose in a barrel of parrots. Mrs. Palmer has been several times before the board to plead her cause. President Higinbotham is at length looking more favorably on the idea, and the executive committee will doubtless fall in with the proposed arrangement. As at present arranged the monster picnic will gather at 8 o'clock on Market street, between Madison and Randolph streets, and after the usual parade the Illinois Central trains, which have been kindly donated for the occasion, will be boarded at Van Buren street, and the party will be whirled to Sixty-first street. Entering at this gate the children will be received by Mrs. Potter Palmer and a party of her friends. They will be kept in a body and parade through the grounds in charge of their marshals and teachers, leaving by the Sixty-third street gate, when lunch will be served. Then Buffalo Bill will receive the youngsters and bid them welcome to the Wild West show, where they will see the performance. After this the sports will take place, and a rapid trip will be made to the city in time to let the newsboys hustle the afternoon papers. Food and clothing will be needed in large quantities, and lunch boxes are now being sent out to be filled by benevolent people. Each box holds lunch for one boy or gil. They will be sent to any address on a notification to Superintendent Daniels, Waifs' Mission, No. 44 State street, and they will be gathered up again on the evening before Poor Children's day, July 26. It is requested that every boy in the city from 10 to 15 years, who owns a pony and saddle will accept a position on the staff of the director general as aide-de-camp. Names should be sent in at once to the address above given. [.......?} Ocean July 16 THE WILD WEST. The attendance at the Wild West continues to be phenomenally large, and the audiences are as enthusiastic to-day as they were at the opening in April. The grand stand erected in the enclosure at Sixty-third street and Stony Island avenue is twice each day occupied by a larger crowd than were ever seen at any regular outdoor entertainment in Chicago.
