BUFFALO BILL SHOW
COMES TOMORROW
Great Exhibition Is More Complete
Than Ever Before-Represents
All. Nations.

Butfalo Bills Wild West will be in
the city tomorrow. The great feature
TO many people in Col. Cody's exhibit
tons is the superb horsemanship dis
played by the picked men represent
ing the various styles of riding in all
countries. The most thrilling and dare
devil feats of horsemanship are per
formed by Indians, Cowboys, Mexicans,
Cossacks, Arabs, South American
Gauchos and others.
Another feature which appeals
strongly to the martial spirit that
seems toMbe Inherent in Americans is
the soldieT element that is introduced,
espec1ally when the soldier is at the
same ti1ite ga orseman-otherwise
cavalry M
Unique SsandS possessing an elan pc
culiarly ghei1I own, the Roosevelt
rough riders really belong to the TWEEN
t1eth cent9ry.s Recruited from all
ranks of society and every avocation
in American life; these rough riders
combine the sofidity of the trained cav
airy men 1andsthes wild, headlong dash
of the caftle, @herders Of the Western
plains. Anenable to military disci-
pline theys were accustomed to act as
individuals while in action. Cowboys
and plainsmens college graduates and
football heroes, they climbed the
slopes ofzSan3< Juan hill side by side
with old veterans, and showed what
Americans could accomplish when led
by fearless commanders. The rough
riders who appear in the Wild West
exhibition are recruited from the ranks
of President RooseveIt's famous regi-
n1ent andsswere present and fought
from SiboneX to Santiago. No finer
body of horsernen could be found than
these heroes of the Spanish American
war.
On the wfnd-swept steppes of North
efn RuSsiay amid the gloomy passes of
the Balkan mountains, on the rock
ribbed sides of the Caucasian ranges,
along the borders of Tartary, against
the numbering squadrons of Napoleon,
before the cfrcling hosts of mounted
. Turks and opposed to the maddening
rush of Tartar horSemen, the CosSackS
have cut a deep notch in history. Ac-
custOmed from bOyhood to the saddle
these Wild soldiers who serve
the great white car seem more like
centaurs than men. They fight with
spear and sabre and carbine. RoverS
by nature and birth, the Cossack is a
beau-idealy rhorSemen, a gallant SOL
adier and loyal subject to the car.
They 'are the advance guard which in
SJireS the safety of the Russian from
tier. The men who appear with the
Wild West exhibition are veterans of
many a. hard fought battle and skir-

Representative horsemen from other
parts of the world will naturally add
to the attractiveness of this feature of
the exhibition. The Indians, cowboys,
Mexicans, Arabs and others are well
known as premier opponents of SUI
perior horsemenship, varying in style
of riding as much as they do in Ian
guage, yet alllattaining the same end
of excellence on horseback.
This year the Rough Riders of the
Sea" are also presented by Messrs.
Cody and Salisbury who give an ex-
hibition of the use Of the breaches
buoy. These men are loaned by the
government and belong to the Atlantic
coast guard; under command of Capt.
Grant. Of course, the cowboys, Cos
sacks, Mexicans, etc, are still of
premier interest, but they can all be
closely inspected when the street
cavalcade will parade. 1T
