BUFFALO BILL.

Some Features of the Big Show to Be
Given at the Island in Two Weeks,
The old features that have given Buff
falo Bills Wild West fame and favor
on two continents. are too we'll known
to need to be introduced to your notice.
All of the best of these have been re-
tanned and elaborated for the first sea-
son of the new century.
There will be Indians Cowboys, Co.'S
sacks, Soldiers, Artillery, Arabs, Annie
Oakley Johnny Baker, Bucking Bron-
cos, and all the rest led by Buffalo Bill,
just as it has always pleased you to
see them.
In choosing new features for the COM
ing season the question has been, out
OF the abundance in sight, what shall
we select? History has been gallop;ng
along at lively pace the past twelve
months. What with the war in South
Africa, and the turmoil in the Orient,
the events from which Colonel Cody
and Nate Salisbury could select features
for their great exhibition have been
crowding along thick and fast. Per-

OF the new features will be the military
spectacle, which is being prepared and
will be called THE Taking of Zen
Tsin," in which the allied marine forces
of England, Germany, France Japan
and the United States will scale the
walls of this Monaghan stronghold, as
sisted by the fierce Bengals, who are
an arm of King Edward the WIS arm
ed force. The savage ''Gourkas" and
the "Sikhs," the pretty uniforms of the
bright dress of the East Indians. Chin
ese and Japanese soldiers and citizens
that will be shown in this great bs..,e
scene will make it one of the most gor-
geous pageants and brilliant spectacles
the public has ever been offered.
There will be band of Beers: types
OF the strong, stubborn fighters that
have for months defied the whole of
England's military power. A detach-
ment of Canada's famous crack regi-
ment, The Strathcona Horse" fresh
from the fields of South Africa. where
they have won high honors as fighters.
will be seen in Buffalo Bills arena this
season. when this regiment visited
england, enroute home last February,
King Edward with his own hand be-
slowed on each man medal of honor.
Canada has also been drawn upon for
another feature that should prove most
interesting. A squad of the celebrated
Northwest Mounted Police, the intrep-
Id, relocated constabulary that has for
years held in hand the lawless white
and red men in that vast territory
northward to far within the Arctic Cir
Gle. These are brave, hardy, intrepid
men and magnificent horsemen.
To many of the millions in our broad
land the lives of those brave men who
patrol our stormy Atlantic coast in the
Life-Saving Service is a sealed book
The life they live is one of the strang-
est and most strenuous known. The
deep knows no danger they are not cali
ed upon to cope with, and although
duty with them almost always spells
death, seldom it is shirked. A crew
detailed from the u S. Life Saving Ser
vice, grizzled old warriors of the wa
terry deep. will give exhibitions of the
drill OF the service, and will illustrate
the methods Of snatching those poor
victims, who are from time to tamc
driven on to our stormy coasts. from
the jaws Of the hungry waves. WIN
