THE PERFORMANCE


The afternoon and evening perform
ances were witnessed Ny at least $4,000
persons. Excursions nad poured train
load after train-load into the city adj
day long, and half the popula Ion, 1t
seemed, turned out to see the Wild
West.
The performance was opened with q
grand review. the various dctachmepts
riding In at full speed and taking their
alignment in front of the central jer OF
seats with marvellous accuracy. The
Indians came icl first and their pictures
due head dresses and brightly painted
limbs and bodies maze a never-to-bc-
forgotten picture.
The leader Of each subsequent de-
tachment came in with the flag denot-
ing his nationality. Last of all came
Buffalo I5lll himself. He rode in On a
beautiful horse and looked the picture
of health and manly viGor, as riding
to the front. he bowed with that well
known sweep Of his bread brin-med
sombrero and then introduced his Con-
gress OF Rough Riders of the World.

Story Of tho Show.

Buffalo Bill and his Congress of
Rough Riders of the World" arrived
here early yesterday morning, and gave
street parade and two exhibitions, all
three events being witnessed by thous-
ands of people. Greater Norfolk and
all the surrounding country seemed to
have turned out to see the great Wild
West and its famous proprietor, himself
the drawing card of the entire show.
The tents were pitched In Huntersville,
on the same ground they occupied two
years ago. The tiers. or seats were ar
ranged on three sides of an immense
square. while at the other end were
the horse, tents and canvas quarters
OF the rough riders. The space thus en-
closed formed the scene of action for a
series of brilliant and novel events,
as hereafter Will be related.
The crowd which lined the streets to
witness the parade at 10 O'Clock was
largely the same crowd which soon af-
terward taxed the seating capacity of
the Wild Vests tents, and incidentally
drove the street car employees to despera-
ton by the very difficulty Of properly
reapinG such a harvest OF fares. Every
car possessed by the company, aside
from its suburban employees. was in SER
vice. and every car was packed like a
box OF human sardines, while perspir!ng
and painting conductors fought their
way through the solid mass of human
ty after fares.
THE PARADE
All along the route marked out for
the morning parade crowds began to
gather early, and 1t kept policemen busy
to maintain room for pedestrians to pass
alcng the sidewalks Promptly at 10
O'Clock the parade started. 1t was led
by Colonel Cody, who drove n pair of
fine horses. Following him, in order

what to most people was the most in
teresting feature of the parade-the In
dians-smeared with war paint and
gaudy with feathers. Following these
came the German Cuirassiers In their
beautiful white uniforms and shining
brass breastplates. The Russian Cos
sacks followed the German cavalrymen
and then came more Indians, the MeXl-
can "Greasers," the As2atic Arabs. cow
boys from the plans of the La Plata and
their hardy brethren from our own
Western plains.
Following these and sitting with SOL
dterly ease and dignity upon their fine
horses, their yellow plunes waving and
the bmll:ancy of their side arms re-
1lect.ng the sunlight, rode the repre-
sentatives of the pride and glory of
American arnrs-a detachment of the
Sixth United States Cavalry - and
closely after the troop came a battery
of two guns. from BATTERY D., Fifth
