TAUGHT THEM TO EAT POPCORN.
Buffalo Bill Claims the Honor of First In.
Producing the Dainty In England.

~ eAo ~" .
Buffalo Bill and his cowboys introduced
many novelties in England which at first
astonished the sturdy Britons and then made
them feel ashamed of themselves for letting
American ingenuity get ahead of them.
The small sons of the Britons hank their
stars that such a person as Buffalo Bill Wis
tied their shores. The cowboys showed them
how to play several new games, and, best of
all, how to throw the lasso. But there was
one thing which the Wild West troupe took
into the country that the young people and
hundreds of old thank them for, and that is
the ball of sugared popcorn
Buffalo Bill claims the sole honor of intro
ducing this toothsome dainty to the English
public, for such a thing was never known in
that country, 1t is averred, before the advent
of his purely American show.
When the first stand for the sale of pop
the small boys of London and vicinity sur
rounded it and devoured ball after ball of
the corn. 1t must have pleased their
palate, for. the demand was SO great
that Buffalo Bill deemed it expedient
to hastily erect a dozen or more stands on
the grounds. Even this number did not
prove enough. and before tho exhibition
ended more than thirty popcorn stands were
doing a flourishing business on the grounds.
At every exhibition given blythe Wild West
company the audience Toasted their eyes on
the performance while devouring the balls
of sugared popcorn.
Col. Cody buffalo Billy said this morning
to an EVENING WORLD reporter that at one
exhibition at which ten thousand people were
assembled more than twenty thousand balls
of popcorn were sold. On that day every
person including the royal family. seemed
to be munching on the fayorite dainty of the
New England boys.
1.-THE children Of the nobility" Col. Cody
continued, seemed to be delighted with the

mothers, which was spent for sugared pop

Mcpherson Barracks were in the city, but
almost at the limits of the tow at the south

world to find q good ground for the move

ground in the barracks was too small. The
streets Of Atlanta could not be very we'll used

to the Ponce de Leon spring was the only one

the Mayor notified the commander that the
artillery must not be drilled on the Boule

had them out. They tore through the streets
with tremendous din, and the nursemaids
and children used to scurry away, crying
1.-THE Yanks are coming!"
After the Boulevard was barred out as O
ground for exercise, the men used to be
taken down to Ponce de Leon Spring, which
was four miles to the northeast. The town
