BUFFALO BILL
Twenty-Five Thousand Small
Boys Go Wild ever Coming
of Great Show
CODY'S LAST STAND
In AMUSEMENT LINE

There was a clattering Of hoofs and
a rattling of trappings aud rumble
down at Third and Church streets this
morning and the suddenly awakened
natives peeped from their windows to
witness the advent of Buffalo Bill"
For more than an hour there was a
cavalcade of horsemen through the
streets, as the Wild West and Far East
show was transferred from trains at
the railroad yards to the exhibition
gounds at Lancaster avenue and Union
streets.
There were all sorts of queerly gar
bed characters in the cavalcade in
cluding cowboys. Indians of several
distinct tribes. both sexes and all ages;
Mexican greasers, cowgirls, Cossacks,
Bedouins, Gauchos, Vacqueros, Irish
lancers, German cuirassiers, Japa-
nese and American cavalry and a few
other species Of rough riders. All were
well mounted, and they clattered over
cobbles and slumped through mud with
as much ease and grace as they would
have on the greensward Of model
campus or in the ring of riding acad-
emy.

Along with the riders there went a
long line of tent and pole wagons and
carts stored with the multitudinous ac-
cessOries Of such big show. And there
were animals, elephants, camels and
bulfalOes. Colonel Cody SAYS that
as il is the last time he is going
to appear with the show he is going to
give the people here about the best

The show train reached the city dur
ing the night, but there was little sign
of life until in the neighborhood of
6 o'clock this morning. when the rough
riders and the tent men. and the can
vas stretchers and other gentlemen
turned out OF their hunks, saddled
their steeds and trotted over to the
grounds.
The work of erecting the tents was
undertaken by a few score expert tent
men. who had the canvas up almost be-
fore the first 500 small BOYS of viii
mington reached the scene. The small
