The Wild West is Home from European
Triumphs for Tour of America.
Buffalo Bills Wild West and Congress of
Rough Riders OF the World has returned from
It's four years tour of Great Britain and Con-
tinental Europe, where, during the time II
was abroad, II exhibited in eighteen different
countries Opening at Madison Square Gar
den, New York city, this spring ii began Its
Homecoming tour amid scenes Of enthusiast
tic appreciation, and 1t will exhibit at Wash
ington, D. O., May 81 and June l, present
ing the same program without alteration or
elimination.
During his Continental triumphs Col. VIM.
F. Cody ("Buffalo BilP' gave his unique ex-
hibition before all castles and classes and I'M
folded before the gaze Of wondering Euro
peans historic scenes in the development OF
American history scenes which have become
a part Of our nations past rs well as part
of our nations glory. Although these events
have passed into history, they were neverthe'
less eagerly accepted by Europeans as marks
ing part OF our transition from semi-bar-
barrie state to our present greatness as one OF
the worlds powers.
Abroad nearly FIVE years Buffalo Bill comes
home with practically new exhibition
Even to those who enjoyed the Wild West
performances years ago will find a renewal oil
TO return for exhibition in Washington city.
Children who were little ones at that time
have grown to an age where they can best
appf d1isto the historic value OF the exhibition
while enjoying Its stirring scenes and thrill
ling sensations.
There Is no chapter in American history
frarght with such Interest as are the days
when the Western wids we're being redeemed
from the rcd man by the shot and sword OF
FEhrgnQbQuf "A FVagfaFp EutaQT
In ainoss every feature, American ais.pty
was written in deeds OF yalor and With
triumph OF the victor came the lib6rty az
advancement OF the ysuqulghed. The ba,
barrie l0rda Of the prairie have become wards
Of their cOpQnerqT, and their vast hunting
grounds have been reclaimed for tho benef
ciai use OF civilization.
Steps In this conquest are illustrated in Col.
Oody's exhibition no one Is so well suited
to the task, for Buffalo Bill was a moving and
potent force in the struggle for supremacy
As plainsman, hunter, scout, guide and in
terpreter Col. Cody lived the early days Of
his life with the open prairie as his environ
ment and tho Indian as his companion at
frst his enemy later and finally his friend.
For this reason his position as public enter
tainer IL as unique as the exhibition which
he originated, maintains and still directs.
For the present season the Congress OF
Rough Riders has been augmented by draft
ing equestrians from many nations, and the
Wild West entertainment will have distinct |
i've features of historic value and impeling
interest "The Battle of Summit Springs"
will illustrate one of the most thrilling chap |
ters In Indian warfare, and 1.-THE Great Train |
Hold.up" will depict one Of a score OF law |
less events which have marked the develop |
ment OF the Great West since the Union Pa |
ciGc railroad first linked the Atlantic and /
the Pacific with lts ribbons Of steel.
