sented without curtailment or chang

Buffalo Bill has been abroad so
long that his homecoming affords
what is practically a novelty in aren-
ic entertainment. During his absence

youths and young ladies, and those of
us who saw the exhibition years ago
will take equal interest in seeing 1T
all. over again. There will be real
novelty provided in many features of
| the program and for the Homecoming
| tour of this foremost among arenic
institutions, two spectacular features
have been prepared as special attrac-
| tions.
| During the four separate tours of
Europe which Buffalo Bill has made
| he has presented his historical enter
| tainment in eighteen different coun-
| tries, before crowned heads and pie
beans, and in a vast majority of in
stances where an English speaking
| person was a rarity. But, in all his
| travels he has depicted the conquest
and eventual civilization of the In
dian and has presented scenes of his
toric events with unfailing fidelity
and with success which has astound-
ed the skeptical. He has lone more
than any other American to open the
book of our early history before the
eyes of Europeans and they have
looked with admiring eyes upon the
wonders there unfolded.
While the exhibition will be prac-
tlcally new this season, the display
will, of course. conform to. the gener-
al style of entertainment which Col
VIM. F. Cody (Buffalo Bid has al
ways presented; historical in its fun
damental principles, original IN its
conception and maintenance, unique
as an arenic entertainment and in a
class all by itself among out-of-doors
! amusements. There will be a num-
ber of special features in the depart
| ment of rough-riding ana general
equestrian displays, and there will
be two special exhibits which have
been exclusively designed and per-
lecteu lOr the present tour.
The topping features of the pro-
gram VIII be the pantomimic melo-
drama, The Great Train Holdup'
and "The Bandit-Hunters of the I'm
ion Pacific" together with "The Bat
tie of Summit Springs" These sep
arate and distinct features Will de-
pict two important eras in western
development-the conquering and
subsection of the barbaric redman
and the fast disappearing hoard of
bandits who followed the trail of the
colonizer and preyed upon the rail
read and express companies in their
advance across the plains.
The Congress of Rough Riders of
the World will constitute an import
ant factor in the exhibition and will
present a display of equestrian ex-
pertness and an exhibition of nerve.
skill and manly daring which is sure
to excite enthusiastic admiration
Hcresmen of all nations will vie in
feats of fearlessness, and our own
American-bred cowboys will not be
the least in the stirring picture of
primitive history
