WILD WEST SHOW IS HERE TO-DAY.
Greater Success Than Ever Attendance Breaks
 All Records.

The great Wild West Show will be here to-day in all it's glory. The per- formance and the attendance beat all the records. The Brooklyn Eagle of last Thursday says:
 Col. William F. Cody Buffalo BilD last evening stated to an Eagle report CT that the Wild West Show and Con gress of Rough Riders of the World, being exhibited this week at the circus grounds Fifth avenue and Third street, would break all records for a one weeks show ever given in Brooklyn. So great has been the success of the show, he iutimated, that it was being seriously considered making Brooklyn two weeks stand another year. Either that must be done, said the colonel, Or our seating capacity must be doubled if we are to begin to handle the crowd. The present seating capac- ity is 11,0O0
 Again last night, although the weather was threatening, the crowd which came to see the evening per formance was so large that an order had to be sent out to close the box offices, Fully LOGO people were turned away because every seat was taken. It was the same story in the afternoon, the misty weather and near-rain seem ing to have no effect on either the size of the crowd, their enthusiasm or the excellence of the work of the perform CTS. But three more nights remain for the show in Brooklyn, and the indica- tions point to fully as large crowds at these performances as there were on Tuesday or last night Many social and athletic clubs from the South Brooklyn and Bay Ridge section visit ed the show last evening, and also the Epworth league of the Sixth Avenue M. E. church, Sixth avenue and Eighth street.
 Thrilling thousands by her daring and reckless riding, Miss Adele Cham pion, the masked female bandit in the
 train holdup scene, has caused her ] admirers to send her many letters beg 1 ging for an interview. She was popu-
 lar in Madison Square Garden, but since the girl has been riding in Brook llyn scores of admirers have sent letters asking for an interview. Besides talk i ing part in the train hold-up, the one 1 thing in the show next to the Indians
 which most appeals to the small boy,
 Miss Champion is seen on one of the marvelously trained high-school horses l in the last number of the exhibition,
 and several New Workers awaited the reckless young rider after the perform ance last night.
 As usual, the audience was so de- lighted with the appearance of Colonel
 Cody last night that cheers rang out : time and again, and the audience was i not satisfied until the white-haired hero ! of many battles appeared before them
 four or five times. Demands for a l speech could not be needed, for the 1 rule of tie show is that nothing shall l interfere with the performance, and {! the audience was forced to content it. self with his few introductory words after the grand review, Permit me to l introduce a congress of rough riders of l the world /"
 i The exciting, bucking bronchos, the octette of cowboys and their fine sing } ing were vociferously applauded. The Battle of Summit Springs, the train
 hold-up, the drill of the Deylin zou-
 ayes, the riding of the Cossacks and cowboys, the high-school acts and the
 wonderful expert marksmanship of l Colonel Cody and Johnny Baker con- tinue to be the chief features of the show, but the entire programme is a success and every number is received with great applause.
 Many school children are present at every afternoon performance of the Wild West Show. In Bridgeport, where the show was exhibited yesterday, the school authorities gave the children a holiday.
