| Direct from the triumphs of the past
| four weeks in New York, Buffalo Birs
! 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

| of the struggle in the South African
| Anglo-Boer war, fighting under Joubert,

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 equestriau
skill
The history of equestrianism is vividly
illustrated in Buffalo Bits Wild West. In
this arena can be seen at one time the
representative primitive horsemen of the
world. 1t is most comprehensive exhi-
bttion of equestrianiSm, not only COM

representative hOrsemen from Mexico
South America, and our island posses
sions, as well as military riders OF the

airy, whose brilliant display of military
movement and horsemanship is a special
feature of the entertainment. While every
man in the Wild West is an 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

structive as well as entertaining, so much
of history mingled with romance Buffalo

taste Colonel Cody himself a 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 trackess trans Missouri prSiries
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 a delega-
tion from the Sea Coast Life Saving
Corps viii be a prominent feature in this
year S exhibition, and most pertinent to il
from the fact that ii represents the heroic
self-sacrifice necessary to its humane
cause. Veterans of this service will illus
trate the firing of the life iine and extend
ing relief to the ship wrecked people
through means of the breeches buoy, and
show the people that which may at some
time become of service to them IN Cmer-
gencies such as daily occur on the sea
coast
