THE WILD WEST EXHIBITION.
The exhibition given by Buffalo Bill and W.
F, Carver and their Wild West combination, at
the State Fair grounds. yesterday, was one Of
the most unique, novel and pleasing entertain
ments ever given in this city, and was thorough
ly enjoyed by the 2,C0o people who witnessed
It, The features of the show are herds OF buff
faloes and elk, band Of Pawnee and Omaha
Indians, cowboys, pack-burros aud scouts, OF
which Buffalo Bill is the most noted. DR.. Carver
and Buffalo Bill gave truly marvellous exhibit
ton OF fancy shooting on horseback, and
Captain Bogardus ard his son did
some fine wing shooting. The attack made
by the Indians and renegades on the DeadwoOd
sstage,coach was very realistic, and the buffalo
good one, and is we'll worthy of q visit, afford
ing, as IL does, an excellent idea of the customs
and life OF the frontiersmen and the aborigines
of the Far West. Another and final exhibition
will be given this afternoon, at the Exposition
grounds,
THE PARK THEATER.
Cool weather and strong bill were the incent-
Ives which caused the people to swell the box
office receipts at this theater last evening. The
'Wild West" we're present by invitation, and the
Indians and cowboys we're extravagant in their
applause, At times the whole tribe would stand
right up and shout. The performance through
out was good. Alice Smith and Alice Daily car
red off the hOnors with their very clever songs
and dances. They responded to encore after
encore until too exhausted to do more. The vo-
cal efforts OF Annie Petfie and the Fair Comets
met with favor. Redmond and Clifton gave a new
and genteel comedy sketch which was repete
with songs. dances and witty dialogue. Maoney
and Gray concluded muslcal sketch with
assault at arms, which was give and take in
earnest with good deal OF science. Cronin and
Sullivan kept tile audience roaring with laughter
for full half hour with the comedy entitled
Life III Tenement House," which ended the
evenings entertainment.
THE zoo THEATER.
Patrons of this place of amusement were
pleased, last night, upon the ringing up of the
curtain, to find that the old time first part was
to undergo revivification. The stage was neatly
SET the ladies in swinging seats Turner and
WEIGH, on the ends, were very funny, and the
singing of both chorus and soloists was good.
The pretty Pauline Batcheller opened the OIO
and her new songs and wardrobe were received
with much favor followed by Dixey aud Legion
in the somewhat worn sketch, "Tantrums;"
Miss st. George Hussey, the Irish impersonatOr;
Whiting and Ryder, fearless gymnasts; Ida May,
in serio comic turn which was received with
marked favor; the Virginia Trio, who always
please; Merritt and Warning, speciality artists,
and the Muldoon quartet, whose sweet singing

pOrtunity to make fun and show his versatility.
