Buffalo Bill's

The Wild Weet show, of Col. Cody's,
is without exception the greatest
attraction of modern times. The throngs
about the lake front have ceased to talk
of the World's Fair and are all inquiring
the way to Buffalo Bill's Wild West
Show. Such an aggregation of wild
riders was never before congregated
together. There are no principal features
of this show, unless it is the veteran
Col. Cody himself, it is an all-
feature show, everyone is a star in
their particular line.

From the cowboys and vaqueros, of
the Plain's and Mexico, the representative
cavalry of four armies, the
wild Cossacks, the gauchos of South
America, our own Sioux "hair raisers"
down to little Johnny Burke No Neck,
there is nothing slow or slouchy about
them. In clay pigeon and glass ball
shooting, nothing can excel the feats of
Cody's shooting on horseback, or the
neat performance of Miss. Annie Oakley
and the Kid. Much of the success of
this show is due to the management of
the amiable Maj. Burke, "Arizona
John" the veteran Scout and Indian
fighter of Arizona. What the genial
Major does not know about Indians and
wild Western life he is not inquiring
about.
