BntT,lo Bups VIVA West exhibition, q

Buffalo Bills Wild West exhibition, a
unique affair, held forth on the State Fair
Grounds yesterday afternoon. When
here two years ago, on q rainy day, the
entertainment was witnessed by only a
handful Of people. Yesterday y crowd
variously estimated at from 1000 to TO-
600 people, and probably ranging some
where between these figures, Witnessed the
performance; rather, those who were t0r-
tunGto enOughto secure good positions Wit
messed 1t, while many took peeps ut it.
Even these peeps were interesting. In
tact, there is 70 much Of the show that a
good day can be spent with it and still the
hall not be- seen.
The Indians include some Of the beat
known chiefs OF tho Western and North
ern tribes, among them American HORSE,
who siRned-in presence Of General Sher-
mantle tresty with the KiOwas. In the
street parade in the forenoon, in their
tEpes on the fair ground, on their horses
during the performance, these Indians
were objects OF the keenest interest, and
to watch them was instructive as we'll as
amusing,
Several new faces have been added to
the cowboy baud, among them Jim Kidd
and Big JohHAOn, the latter being the
champion rider Uf Wyoming. Buck Tay-
lor, BronCho Bill, Johnny Baker and ali
the old iayorites are retained, Tho Dead
wood coach and all the original features
have also been retained. Tue shooting is
as hne as eyer, and the shooting and
riding by ladies' IL u new feature since the
combination was last here, There are
more butalos, more deer, more cattle,
more horses, more cowboys, more Mex

A runaway took place on Eoff street
yesterday that, while 1t did not last long
and no one was hurt, was one Of the most
exciting imaginable. A span Of large
powerful black horses belonging to the
Reymann Brewing Company and the
large wagon to which they were attached
were backed up to a car Ia the Hempield
yards, opposite the Public Building, which
was being loaded with kegs from the
wagon. An engine suddenly passed along
and the horses taking fright dashed
out into EofF street and tore along at
q fearful rate Of speed. The
driver sprang from the car and managed
TO get hold OF the bride Of one Of the
horses and there he hung, being pulled
along in such q manner that these
who saw the occurrence expected to see
him dashed to death. By o mighty effort
be finally pulled the frightened animals
on to the sidewalk and steered them to a
telegraph pole. One went one side and
the other the other, and we're thus brought
to a standstill. Several ladies' on the side
walk narrowly escaped being knocked
down. The drivers nerve and GOODNESS
was admired by every one.
