The BufraIo Rili show,

The season of outdoor amusement is
drawing TO a close. Buffalo BillS Wild

the World was first in the field for pub
lie patronage, and for nearly six months
has been one of the most popular places
of resort for amusement seekers, within
the bounds of what, in the future, will
be called Greater New York. Located as
it Is at Ambrose Park, adjoining the
Thirty-ninth street Ferry, in South
Rrooklyn with the various easy methods
of transportation from all parts of the
city and surrounding country, it has
proven the mecca to which the faces of
all seekers after amusement have been
turned.
Messrs. Cody & Salisbury, proprietors
of this entertainment, have definitely de-
cided to close their season on Saturday
evening, October s, and 1t behooves all
those who desire to witness the enter
tainment provided by this aggregation
of the rough riders of the world to visit
Ambrose Park during the present week,
ment of an outdoor nature the like of
which has not been seen during the
present generation.
The last performance will be given on
Saturday night, when the tents will be
struck and on Sunday following the peo-
pie engaged will depart for their homes
in the four quarters of the globe. The
Cossacks go beyond the borders of the
Black Sea, the French, German and
English soldiers return to their various
regiments from which they have been
fuflOuSneQ, Lne ARABS go 10 MOROCCO,
the Indians to the foothills of the Rock
les, and the cowboys, Mexicans, etc, to
their various homes.
A combination equal to that of the
Wild West has seldom been brought to-
gether, and not only because of its amuse-
ment, but of it's educative qualities,
should it be seen by all people During
the balance of the present week two per-
formi.nces will be given every day at 8
and S.15 O'Clock, including Saturday, when
the last performance will take place.
