CrOnle at Mardl Gras
B0er Hero With Worlds Fair Feature, the
BOCr War Spectacle, and 600 Vet.
Grams reproducing Scenes
OF the Tranvaal
YlvIdlu.

The entire original Boer War Spec
tacle from the st. Louis Worlds Fair,
including the famous Boer Hero, Gen.
Cronje, of Pardeberg fame, and some
six hundred Boer and British officers
and men, will be an additional a ttrac-
ton during the Mardi Gras holidays
this season in New Orleans. This
huge organization is not only by far
the largest outdoor spectacle ever
produced in the world, but is also adj
mitted by both the press and public
alike to be the most genuine and WON
derful show ever seen.
In addition to Gen. Cronje and six
hundred soldiers, there arr also $50
horses, 10 large cannon, 10 quick FIR
ing guns, mule and OK wagon trans
ports, ammunition and ambulance
wagons, and some Cape carts with
fOur-in-hand tee ;, and other war
like equipment, together with part
of South African natives, Zulus, Bias
utos and Kaffirs.
The performance which is given in
large field several acres in extent, is
divided into two parts: first, the gen.
eral introduction of the troops and of
Gen. Cronje and many other officers
who took a prominent part in the
fight for their country, followed by
genuine and exciting contests on
horseback between Briton and BOer.
Secondly the thrilling reproductions
of some of the most famous battles
of the campaign, which for vivid real
ism of all the terrOrs and horrors of
modern welfare have never before been
eqaled, the Battle Of ColensO and the
capture of the British guns by the
Beers Is first shown. This scene is
wonderfully like the real thing, the
cannonading and rife fire are ire
mendous, and dozens Of horses and
men are left "dead" ON the field when
the British are driven back by the
fierce assault of the Beers, who rush
out and capture the disah guns.
The greatest scene of all is the Bat
tie of Pardeberg and the surrender OF
Gen. Cronje with $500 men to the
victorious British under Lord Rob-
erts. The famous General himself
rides out at the head Of his men and
re-enacts his tragic part with forth
tude that speaks for the iron will and
power of this great man. A more
sensitive man would have retired,
brooded, starved and cursed his coun-
try's ingratitude. Cronje is practi-
cal, unhampered by class ideas, and
he is making an honest living.
The final scene is clever represen-
tation of one of the famous Gen. De-
Vets daring escapes, when hemmed
in on nil sides by u superior force of
British troops, and affords u good
opportunity for the Beers to show
their splendid horsemanship, at which
they are unexcelled.
The presence of the BOer war spec
tacle in New Orleans will he strong
inducement for persons to visit the
city who did not otherwise propose
to attend Mardi Gras this year, as
they will ut once be enabled to SEE the
two grea test spectacles Of their kind
in the world. The big show opens to
the public ON Saturday, Feb. 25th,
and will run continuously, including
Sundays, until March~1 9th, and must
not be missed by those who are able
to take the trip to New Orleans
