Buffalo Bits Great Exhibition.

| The event in the amusement world this
year will be the advent of Buffalo Bills
| Wild West. 1t is over eight years since
this great educational entertainment has
been seen in this vicinity, and in those
years it has had an an experience and a
career unequalled in the worlds history.
1t has many times traversed the Attain
tici ii was the browning feature at the
great Carnival in London in commemora-
ton of the fiftieth year of the reign of
Queen Victoria; it disputed with the
Eiffel Tower the palm for interest and
success at the Worlds Fair in Paris in
1889; it traversed Europe, crossed the
Alps and the Pyrenees, and camped be-
meath the walls of the Alhambra and
within the vast interior of the Colosseum
at Rome.
The unofficial recognition of eight gov
ernments is necessary TO secure the differ
ent classes of horsemen who compose the
human interest of the show. There are
Russian Cossacks and Indians, and Arabs
and South American Gauchos, and Cow
boys and Plainsmen, of whom Colonel
Cody is the type, and Mexican Ruralie
from old Mexico, headed by the truly
wonderful Signor Oropeza, and Texas
Vaqueros Spanish Americans), thus in
GLIDING all the primitive men who are
horsemen, and in conjunction with them
cavalry from the United States, England,
France and Germany, representing the
four great cavalry nations Of the world.
N niua hn t., 1t
form as it was given in Chicago is re-
quired an auxiliary corps of 400 en-
ployees, besides 400 arena performers,
800 in all. There are 225 draught horses
which are used to haul the paraphernalia
alone, besides the 800 horses used in the
arena.
The magnitude of this enterprise, which
travels with all the requirements OF an
army, is in itself marvel. II requires
two trains to transport it, and carries
with it not only an army of men and
horses, but the largest portable grand
stand, capable of seating 10000 people,
ever constructed, and portable electric
light plant Of $50, 900 candle power, which
gives "a lustre of midday to the objects
below
Arrangements have been made to give
the show in as complete form as it was
presented in Chicago.
Added to this is the great educational
feature, presenting the Congress of Rough
Riders of the World. From the plains OF
Tartary and the steppes of Russia, from
the pampas of South America, and from
the flying cavalry of all the great standing
armies of Europe, they come TO bid us
vie with them 10 friendly rivalry.
The spectators seats have been ar
ranged in horseshoe form, giving every
body full and perfect view of the arena
The top of the stand will protect from
sun and rain. Those who cannot attend
in daytime are assured of complete ex-
hibition at night. AS the PhiLadell)hid
Ledger said few days ago "Anyone
who misses seeing the show must be
placed in the same category with the man
who has never read Uncle Toms
Cabin. .
Naturally, the great labor and the pro-
pitious events which enabled Colonel
Cody Buffalo BID to get together this
marvellous object lesson III history will
never be repeated, and this opportunity
TO see them should not be neglected. 1t
will be in Trenton, N. j., Friday, Sep
tember 81, afternoon and night.
