BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST.

Rivals the Columbian Exposition in
Interest.

For diversity of interest, picturesque
detail and general attractiveness in addition
to historic accuracy no exhibition
is offered to World's Fair visitors that
can surpass the entertainments given
daily by Buffalo Bill's Wild West,
which is located near the Sixty-third
street entrance to the Columbian Exposition.
Here the Indian, the Cossack,
the Arab, the Mexican, the Gaucho, the
cowboy, the picked cavalrymen from
England, France, Germany and the
United States, each is seen in his own
peculiar dress, illustrating his own
style of horsemanship, showing his
own manner of amusement and method
of warfare. Historic scenes in
American frontier life are enacted by
those who have actually participated in
them and all are led by that unique
character in the history of the great
west, Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill),
who has been so effective an instrument
in aiding the settler of the prairie
to enjoy his home in peace. And yet,
strange to say, he is yet the most popular
scout among the Indians who ever
served the government to quell their
disturbances. Though not a part of the
great World's Fair, the Wild West
seems to be necessarily associated with
it in general interest. Rain or shine,
exhibitions are given twice daily and
are always attended by large crowds of
enthusiastic sightseers.
