FOOTBALL MARKS
Wild WEST SHOW
Huge Pigskin Rushed by Mount
ed Indians and Cowboys
Evokes Wild Applause
Prancing Horses, Screeching
Redskins and Roar of Cam
non Are Enjoyed

a football game that for pure ex-
citement and display of dexterity has
the intercollegiate article reduced to
the second class is the biggest and
best new feature of Buffalo Bills wild
west show. 1t is a game played on
horseback by teams composed of In
dians and cowboys, with the arena of
the big showground as a field and a
ball 10 feet in diameter as the bone of
contention.
For the 10 or 20 minutes that the
game lasted at the opening perform
ance Of the Wild West show last night
the crowd of 10000 people that filled
the tiers of bleachers at the Twelfth
and Market street showground went as
wild with enthusiasm as any crowd of
collegians ever did on California or
Stanford field. 1t was game in
which horses as well as riders played
an intelligent and strenuous part, and
when the cowboys finally triumphed
over the original American citizens by
score of goals to l there was an
outburst of cheering that could be
heard for blocks.
The big Wild West show is even
bigger and better than ever. Lovers
of fine horses, of skillfuI riding and
rough, manly sport can nowhere else
pass two hours of more complete en-
joyment. From the opening review of
the riders OF the world to the last sa-
Lutte given in honor of Colonel W. F.
Cody the performance is one long sue
cession of thrills. Perfect equestrian
ship. magnificent military drilling,
good tumbling, crack shooting and wild
sport made the picture complete.
The Indians, in Salome costumes
minus the breast plates and skirt but
with the deficiency supplied by thick
coats of paint form the background for
nearly every scene of the drama of
outdoor life. Devlin's Zouaves furnish
one of the best numbers of the whole
program, their lightning drill and wall
scaling being equaled in proficiency of
military training only by the artillery
detachment of troops. The riding of
bucking broncos by number of
cowboys reaches a climax Of excite
ment, but for good measure a train
holdup and three battles with the red
skins are thrown in.
There was not a vacant seat nor an
unoccupied bit of standing room last
night in the immense arena, and two
performances day for the remainder
of the week viii not be more than
enough to satisfy the demand.

COWBOY WINS BRIDE

Henry j. Goodman, Who Res

aim as Buffalo Bill himself, was proved
conclusiyely yesterday, when a mar
