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
its four years tour Of Great Britain and Con-
tinental Europe, where, during the timo u
was abroad, It exhibited In eighteen different
countries. Opening at Madison Square Gar
den New York city, this spring IL began Its
Homecoming tour amid scenes Of enthusiasts
tic appreciation, and II will exhibit at Wash
ington. d. c., May 81 and June l, present.
ing the same program without alteration or
elimination.
During his Cont nent tai triumphs Col. VIM.
r. Cody ("Buffalo Bilp') gave his unique ex-
bibition 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
q part Of our nations past as well AZ part
of our nations glory. Although these events
have passed into history, they were neyerthe-
less eagerly accepted by Europeans as mark
ing part Of our transition from semi
barrie state to our present greatness as one or
the worlds powers.
Abroad nearly Ave years Buffalo Bill comes
home with practically new exhibition
Even to those who enjoyed the Wild west
performances years ago will find renewal OF
Interest In the announcement that II 10 soon
10 return for exhibition In Washington city.
Children who were little ones at that time
have grown TO an age where they can pest
appreciate the historic value of the exhibition
while enjoying Its stirring scenes and thrill
ling sensations
There Is no chapter in American history
frauVht with such interest as are the days
when the Western wilds were being redeemed
from the red man by tho shot and sword OF
our soldiery. Throughout warfare unique
In almost every feature, American history
was written In deeds Of valor and with the
triumph OF the victor came the liberty and
ad vancement Of the vanquished. The bar
barrie lords Of the prairie have become wards
of their conqueror, and their vast hunting
grounds have been reclaimed for the beneh-
cial use Of civilization.
Steps In this conquest are illustrated In Col.
Codyis exhibition no one Is so well suited
10 the task, for Buffalo Bill was moving and
potent force 10 the struggle for supremacy
As plainsman, hunter, scout guide ana IN
terpreter Col. Cody lived the early days or
his life with the open prairie as his environ
nnent and the Indian as his companion at
6rst, his enemy later and finally his friend
For this reason his position as public enter
tainer Is as unique as the exhibition which
he originated, maintains and still directs.
For the present season inc congress "
Rough Riders has been augmented by draft
Jog equestrians from many nations, and the
Wild West entertainment will have distinct
live features Of historic value and Impeding
Interest. "The Battle Of Summit Springs"
viii illustrate one Of the most thrilling chap
ters In Indian warfare, and 1.-THE Great Train
Hold-up" will depict one Of score OF law
less events which have marked the develop
ment Of the Great West since the Union Pa,
cifc railroad first linked the Atlantic and
the Pacific with It's ribbons Of steel.
Will exhibit at Washington, d. o., May
3lst and June LIST.
