Several New Features Introduced
for This Season.

| Direct from the triumphs of the past
| four weeks in New York, Buffalo Bill s
! Wild West and the Congress of Rough
Riders Will, on Wednesday and Thursday
| next, be seen in Washington with the
| added interest of the latest warriors who
| have made names for themselves in mod
err warfare. men representing both sides
| of the struggle in the South African
| Anglo-Boer war, fighting under Joubert.
| Cronje, and Botha-Canadians, who
gained the plaudits of their imperial COM
| manders and were factor in such vic
| tories as are credited to the British arms,
will represent the American methods and
style of dash and daring. In presenting
| all the noted horsemen of the world and
| the war veterans of two continents these
men are not the least interesting, and add
! much to the attractiveness of this exhi-
bition of Virile manhood and equestrian
skill.
The history of equestriansm is wildly
| illustrated in Buffalo Bits Wild West. In
this arena can be seen at one time the
representative primitive horsemen of the
world 1t is a most comprehensive exhi-
bition of equestrianiSm, not only COM
prising these primitive riders, but also
representative horsemen from Mexico,
South America, and our island posses
sions, as well as military riders OF the
United States, German and English cav
airy, whose brilliant display of military
| movement and horsemanship is a special
feature of the entertainment. While every
man in the Wild West is expert rider
| that does not constitute the entire eX-
hlbition, for all the other exciting, pic
turesque, and novel features of past years
are still retained, and the famous battle
! of Tientsin before the relief of Pekin will
| be produced in a manner most brilliantly
| spectacular.
Combining as 1t does so much that is in
structive well as entertaining, so much
of history mingled with romance. Buffalo

taste. Colonel Cody, himself scout and
| pioneer of our Western country, is the
most active and prominent figure in the
| Wild West entertainment, just as he was
for years the cynosure of civilizations
| eyes when he guided the hardy pioneers
| over the trackless trans Missouri prairies
| and aided in making it the best part Of
our agricultural country. instead of the
hunting ground of a savage people.
An innovation in the shape Of delega-
ton from the Sea Coast Life Saving
| Corps will be prominent feature in this
years exhibition, and most pertinent to II

time become of service to them IN cmer-
