The Wild West saow-Custer Massacre.
Yesterday was Sunday, and Of course
the gates TO our great Exposition were
closed and there were no registers at the
turnstiles.
| The large crowds OF busy persons anx-
ious to get glimpse Of the numerous
exhibits OF interest were not to be seen,
and the grounds were deserted by all
save those having In charge some OF the
exhibits that needed attention or course
the Wild Vests Indians and COWBOYS
we're there, and the presence OF police to
protect the property and preserve order
and decorum was necessary. In the vicin-
| ity and outside the grounds, however, q
more animated appearance was pre-
sented. AT any time during the day q
good many persons could be seen, some
who had come out merely for the walk,
others who had nothing better 10 do, or
at the least were not otherwise engaged,
went out to see how the premises looked
on the day of rest. However the most
reasonable requisition of % cents all.
mitted no one, and those who went out
bad to content themselves by remaining
there.
TO-DAY.
The attractions are numerous and
equal to those OF any preceding day.
Cappa's Band will render several of their
most attractive selections, both in the
afternoon and at night. The programme
for both occasions has been carefully
prepared. and it is needless 10 say that
the renditions will not admit of criticism.
One Of the most attractive features of to-
day, and that will continue during the
week, is the cattle exhibit.
The display of Alderney cattle will
alone be well worth a trip 10 the Exposi-
ton TO see the entries show that there
will be about hundred in number and
among this most noted kind Of diary cat
tie are those that will make the exhibit
one of The finest ever seen in this country
and by far the best ever produced In Vir-
ginis. There are also nearly two hun
dred head of other standard cattle on ex-
hibition. This feature which has 80 much
bearing upon our prosperity is OF univer-
sal interest to all for upon the yield ofthe
cow so much of our business and comfort
depends. The judging will commence at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the
premiums will be awarded Immediately.
WILD WEST.
The directors OF the Exposition on
Saturday succeeded in effeciing arrange
ments whereby the Wild West combina-
tiOn would be permitted TO remain during
the present week and render two ex-
hibiiions daily during their stay here.
Four additional gateways will be cut
in the fence Just west of the present en-
frances, which will be ample 10 admit all
persons that desire To attend without the
necessity Of the rush and squeezing
which has heretofore characterised every
performance of the show.
The Exposition encountered much diff
fculiy In oifecling the arrangements,
which sTe in accordance with the de-
mand OF the people, that The show should
remain and perform regularly, unmo-
Tested by the racing
Considerable telegraphing was neces-
ssry, and the postponemenl Of the races
only effected in consideration OF the bad
condition Of the race-lrack on account OF
the heavy rains on Thursday
Tonight the Custer massacre, which
promises to be grand affair, will be
given by the Wild West combination,
with the assistance Of the one hundred
young men that have volunteered TO as
sist in carrying out the programme.
Ii is safe to say that the attendance on
this occasion will be larger tnan on any
previous exhibit of this show
All the volunteer forces who will en-
gage In the Custer massacre will report To-
day at The upper gate near Wild West
entrance. A committee will meet them
and give them badges to afternoon per
formance and to the rehearsal at 5:lh
