THE GREAT WILD WEST,
BUFFALO BIEL,S SHOW H.IS 4
 RECORD 44TTENDANCE.
Tho Street Parade i'm the DTornlrng Was a Fine Spucsucle-Both Afternoon and Immense ThrongF.

Buffalo Bil's great Wild West show has once more come and gone, and iron the parade in the morning down to thC final performance in the evening 1t wal what might be termed @ great and bril- l liant success. One striking feature il | connection with the Wild West show is that, whether it be the forerunner o1
 some other large organization or wheth
 CT it comes in the wake of big circus 1 it's popularity does not seem to be af. 1 fected in the least. New Haven has | had within the last six weeks q success
 sion of big circuses and it was thought
 by many that these would in some de-
 gree affect the attendance yesterday But such was far from being the case 1 for the large arena was packed to over- i flowing at both performances fact l that goes to show that, no matter what comes or goes, Colonel Cody and his Wild West show hold a firm place in the hearts of the American public and that his show is always q welcome vis- itor
 To the many thousands who are at all times unable to see the performance the parade of Buffalo Bill and his Con- gross of Rough Riders is always a well come sight. The weather yesterday, to use an English phrase, was "queens' weather, and the brilliant spectacle was witnessed by many thousand along the route of march.
 Both at the afternoon and evening performances the crowds were inn mense. Especially was this the case in the evening when the attendance was said to have been q record one. The performance from the time that Colonel Cody, on his magnificent bay charger, introduced his army of rough riders of the world down to the realistic buffalo hunt. went with a snap and vim that never allowed the interest to drag for one second and kept the audience on the tip of excitement as scene after scene followed one another in rapid succession.
 Much could be said and written in praise of the entertainment from start to finish, but 1t is unnecessary, as everything had the stamp of Al attach cd to it. Suffice 1t to say that those who were unable to be present missed q treat that few who have fifty cents to spare can afford to miss, and that it would be well for those who are com peled to count their cash by cents 10 begin and bank now for the next visit of the Wild West to New Haven, An nie Oakley's, Johnny Bakers and Colo- nel Cody's shooting called forth much applause. while the military evolutions of the British. German and American cavalry were such as to call forth the utmost enthusiasm. The clever lassoo- ing was well received, as were also the acts of the Whirling Dervfsh and the troupe of brawny athletes. The realis- tic battle of San Juan was a special feature and was exceedingly well execu- ted, The United States cavalry show ed their agility as bareback riders as we'll as expert hurdle jumpers. Indians cowboys, Filipinos and Cossacks were if anything. better than in former years and seemed to give the utmost satisfac- ton
 Taken all in all it was a great show and we'll worthy of the immense pa- tronage bestowed upon it.
