FOOTBALL PLAYED BY HORSES.
Departure One Feature With B1ffaIO
BIIps Wild West

When Buffalo Bill's Wild West
Pawnee Bill's Far East comes to t0WC
on Friday. April 81. there will be dis
played as one of the many features
with that superior organization a
game Of football on horseback, some-
thing entirely new IN the line Of
equestrian sports. The demonstration
of this new game has been one Of the
most popular features of the exhibit
tion wherever Il has been seen, and
as Il has the added virtue of novelty,
Il is sure to be interesting to all be-
holders. II Is played with large
ball, half as big as the ordinary horse.
upon the regular gridiron, with goals
at both ends of the vast arena.
The horses are padded at the knees
and grotesquely caparlsoned with all
the pads and masks of the regulation
football player. The riders direct
their ponies against the ball and by
humping It with their knees, showing
and kicking It, attain the goal. There
Is strong element OF comedy in the
makeup OF the ponies and their an
tics, and the humorous feature is one
Of the most attractive sides Of the
sport
There is sure TO be considerable in
terest I'm this feature although II Is
only one Of many numbers on a pro-
gram Of rare interest.
Horses play a conspicuous part
throughout the exhibition, the trained
Western range horse vieing with the
schooled thoroughbred and the buck
ing broncho in contributing to the en-
tertainment. The big Indian battles
will introduce host Of horsemen, and
full hundred Indians In realistic
displays OF barbaric warfare. and the
typical Western scenes which are dis
tributed throughout the program VIII
also show the horse to best advantage.
In all these scenes Colonel William
F. Cody, the original and only Buffalo
Bill, will appear at every perform
ance, directing the entertainment and
participating in the principal battle
scenes and pictures Of early life upon
the plains. Everything is real and
Just exactly as represented, and in no
other exhibition of this nature can
realism and historic accuracy be
found. For more than twenty-five
years the Wild West has been public
entertainment, and each passing year
adds TO its popularity with the public
ana gains for it greater tributes
from the critical and exacting press.
This occasion will be noted as bulaio
! Bnl's personal farewell.
