The rafting firing of sundry small
firearms, the weird whoop Of the war
cry, the vicious snap of divers circling
quirts, and Short Bull. nephew of old
Sitting Bull with his band of duSky,
lusty braves. swing into view, pur-
sued by a detachment CT cowboys and
United State cavalry. The thrills
chase themselves up and down ones
spinal column in sheer delight at the
exhibition of abandon. recklessness.
grace and skill displayed by the cow
boys and plainsmen. for we are at the
Luella Forepaugh- Fish Wild West
show.
The performance is a good one, one
of the best seen in st. Paul in many
| a year. The work of the people is
| good; there is plenty of snap to it, and
| the horses used are trained to a degree
| of perfection that is simply marvellous.
And this was all properly appreciated
| by the large audience that greeted the
| show on the grounds at Dale and Fuller
! streets yesterday afternoon and last
evening.
The Mexican vaquero is there with
| his lariat, with which he performs
wonderful things-he slips In and out
| from among it's coils as though he
were toying with a snake like the
young woman VINO QalI16S with the
boaconStrictor in the tent.
The South American gaucho per-
forms incredible feats on the back of
his horse; he is one moment on the
ground, gliding along with his hands
upon the saddle bows, with an imper-
ceptible movement he is standing up
right on the saddle, carefully lend
ing himself to the movements Of his
animal.
Nine Arabs from the plains of Asia
appear in a cloud of dust A Whirl,
and loi they are standing before one.
With speed that passes belief, they
nave dfsmounted, one begins to whirl,
the others mount and dismount, and
for twenty minutes they go through
their eVolutions, while the whirling
dervish maintains his gyrating mo-
tons without cessation.
The pony express rider, bearing i'm
portant dispatches, makes the terri
bic ride through untold dangers. and
makes three changes of horses almost
without dismounting.
The boys and girls Of the frontier
dance on horseback. the almost hu-
man animals enjoying the gayeties as
though they thoroughly understood it
ALL
The killing of Trapper Pete, the cap
ture of his lovely daughter, by the
bloodthirsty Sioux, the finding of the
trail by the cowboy, the start, the
chase, the capture, are all portrayed
with .vividness that almost leads one
to believe that he lives in the brave
days of scalps, raven. flowing locks
and taWny buckslxin trousers.
The exhibitions Of daring horseback
riding by the Russian Cossack cavaI-
ry from the steppes of Siberia are al
most beyond belief in the intensity of
their daring and agility.
With the show is a menagerie of no
mean proportions. An African lioness
and her two little cubs Of three weeks
held unf1aggfng interest of young and
old alike; Dewey. the black-maned
African lion, who served as the model
for the pieces of marble that will add
to the decorations of the ST. Louis
fair, is there, and two little fawns are
the duplication of all that is gentle
and beautiful
