The Annual Spring Opening.

The show was moved from "Ambrose Park" to Madison Square Garden for the opening of the season on Sunday, March 26th. The parade which was to have taken place on Tuesday, 28th, had to be postponed until the following day on account of inclement weather.

The first performance was given on Wednesday night, March 29th, before a crowded house. Several entirely new features were introduced in the programme, the chief being "The Battle of San Juan," which proved an instantaneous success.

On Friday, April 7th, the afternoon performance was given for the benefit of the orphans and inmates of the different asylums and institutions around New York. Altogether, thirty-one performances were given during the stay in the Garden, at each of which the Garden was well filled, while on several occasions the doors had to be closed for the night performance. The season proved the most successful ever given in New York.

We reached here at 6.00 A. M., after an exceptionally fast run from Peoria.

A grand stand had been erected, to take the place of our regular reserved seats. The Battle Scene was also greatly strengthened by fifty additional men, and the erection of a much larger hill than that used on the road.

The weather during the entire week was warm and clear, and the business tremendous—there being thousands turned away every evening.

On Friday, August 25th, it was found necessary to put in the extra forty-five foot middle piece, in order to put up more seats to accommodate the crowds.

There were fourteen performances given during our stay here, which terminated on Sunday evening, August 27th.

A large number of the show employés closed here during the week.

A Few Statistics.

Starting from Bridgeport, Ct., on April 14th, the "Wild West" traveled a distance of 11,111 miles, using the tracks of forty different railroads.

The show was on the road 200 days, during which time 341 performances were given, 132 towns visited in twenty-four States, viz: one stand of two and one-half weeks, four one-week stands, five two-day, and 122 one-day, on seven of which only one performance was given.

There were 529 people employed in all departments, the "Wild West" stable contained 325 horses, and the baggage stock numbered 119 head. The shortest run from one stand to the next was seven miles, from Lawrence, Mass., to Haverill, the longest, 205 miles, from Kirksville, Mo., to St. Louis.

For transportation purposes the show used thirty-five baggage wagons, two band wagons, two water tanks, two engines for electric light, four buggies, two field pieces and caissons and one Gatling gun. The trains consisted of sixteen flat cars, fifteen stock cars and eight sleeping coaches. The show carried eighty lengths of blue seats and eleven sections of reserved seats, giving seating accommodation to approximately 13,000 people.
