THOUSANDS VflSflT TBiE 1 BIfi SHOV, ON. SUNDAY Pleasant Weather Causes Throngs to Go Out and See Arrival of Great Wild West Exhibition, Which Performs Here Today With any sort of decent westher today, crowds will attend the performances, afternoon and even ing. of the Wild West show, for Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) has been a household favorite in this vicinity for more than a score of years, and his side partner, Major Gordon Llllie (Pawnee Bill) is almost as The people love to see exhibi tions of red bloodef daring typical of the West, such as prevailed in the pioneer days, and which has made the present generations inhabiting the one time plains and mountains such a breezy and self reliant race; It is a show that portrays the ideal Americanism, and it gains in charm for the people with every visit.

Knowing that ihe show would arrive yesterday, to spend Sunday and prepare for today, the sidings along the Reading road, in the "northern section of swarmed early In the morning with men, boys and women, awaiting Its coming. The first section got here at about 7 o'clock and the others followed In close order. Soon the unloading was under way and the great mass of canvas and paraphernalia was being carted to the lot, the block between Eleventh and Twelfth and Union and Exeter streets. Here more crowds awaited the show's coming," and thousands saw the experienced men of the outfit lay out the stakes and poles with nicety and precision. Soon canvas began to go up.

In an incredibly short time that most necessary was erected stables, mess tent, cook tent, animal show, barber and tailor shop, blacksmith shop and it was done without confusion, too, and little noise. The work betokened carefull drilling of the va rious crews. Thert came the break fast for. the family of 800. One portion of the canvas that did not go up, however, was that for the main arena In which the performances are given.

It has been a rule with Col. Cody, for many years, that when the big. show strikes a town on Sun day only' the 'most necessary work bo done that day, It. has been Col. Cody's policy to give, his men all the rest possible on the" Sabbath, The erecting of the walls of the rnain arena and the placing of the tiers of seats will, therefore, be done this morning.

The Indians and cowboys and the representatives of the many races constituting the show were, of course, objects of. much attention and wherever they were there crowds soon collected. While the crowds of the morning were large, those that visited the show lot in the afternoon were vastly greater. The pleasant weather had much' to do with the outpouring. The people visited every 4ent, that sheltering the horse3 being' most sought.

The showmen and attaches were courteous to All, and only when some youngsters got "fresh" and trespassed beyond the limits of good nature, did they show Irritation. The small boys were everywhere, resembling a swarm of files, prying into this and thatto sate native show appears spick and span, as the result of new canvas, a number, of new wagons, while the others have been repainted and fixed up so that they also look new. All in all, the outfit is in splendid shape for the season's campaign. When Colonel Cody and Major Llllie. arrived at the lot, to look 'over, the progress of the 'work, they were soon the centre of Interest." In the afternoon Colonel Cody was the guest of his friends in this city, Harry and Daniel Weber, and he was taken about in an automobile and shown the Wherever the familiar face of the great sco'ut appeared people stopped and looked.

While somewhat more gray than when, here last, the Colonel is remarkably well preserved; his eyes appear as bright as those of a boy and he walks with the erect bearing of a young man. There will bo no It wag found necessary to cut out this feat ure, a step that had been eontom plated several years, as the constant work was telling on the employes. In fact, the management found it difficult to get good men for the show, as they could command as good wages as those offered elsewhere with less hours of labor. The result Is a better show, an the men. have more life'and snap with intervals of rest than un der tho constant work attendant upon preparing for a parade.

On accout of the many innovations, Major Llllie Informed the writer, that the preparation of this season's pro gram has been an especially arduous one, as the methods In staging and presenting the cpisodog.and spectacle is totally different from anything hlther to In vogue in arenic cxhibi tions.
