In the congress of rough riders of the
world the Cossacks show their skill. The
men in this part of the show are from all
parts of the world--Arabs, Syrians, Mexicans,
Indians, cowboys, etc. Each one has his own
style of riding and can stick to the back of
any horse. After every one of the foreign
riders have shown their skill the American
cowboy beats them all. These American
cowboys are the ones that turned the heads
of the Englishmen a short time ago with
their perfect horsemanship.

Among the Indian and Mexican tribes represented
are the Vaqueros, Rurallias, Arapahoes,
Sioux, Brules, and Ogallalas. There
are 450 horses and 600 men in the inclosure,
the seating capacity of which is 22,000. A
herd of twenty-five buffalo will be shown.
The Deadwood coach scene is still an attraction.

When the horses were taken from the cars
they were exercised inside the inclosure. A
Mexican and a cowboy were riding around on
bronchos of the bucking variety, when the
cowboy made some remark that did not please
Pedro, the Mexican, who said: "You think
you have a good horse there. but I can beat
you for a glass of beer." The bet was accepted
and away the two went for the entrance.
Pedro come out ahead by lassooing
his opponent and pinning his arms to his side
so he was unable to use his whip. Several
Arabs and Cossacks watching the scene offered
to race Pedro, but the superintendent stopped
the sport.

The seats in the inclosure are around
two sides and one end. At the
other end and concealing the stables
is a large painting of California mountain
scenery. This is 44x306 feet and the half now
completed shows the Weber Canon with Pulpit
Rock and the Devil's Slide. The work is
by Bender of the Schiller. The show will be
the same as given heretofore by Col. W. F.
Cody, with a few additions.
