BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST.

It is no disparagement to any other amusement enterprise in the city to say that as an appropriate and fitting annex to the Columbian exposition Buffalo Bill's Wild West stands without a rival. The world's fair exhibits to visitors the results of art, science, literature and mechanical skill and invention. The Wild West introduces types of character and representatives of peoples, all of historic and peculiar interest. The Cossacks from the Caucasus are led by a veritable prince of their nation; the Indians are under the control of their real chiefs, many of whom are on record as participants in the frontier troubles of recent years; the cowboys are away from their ranches for this special visit to the world's fair, and the detachments of cavalry from France, England, Germany and the United States are detailed on special service. At the Wild West may be seen all these different types of international interest, living over, for public enlightenment, each day their lives and duties as they are at home and when on duty. The scenes depicted are real occurrences and the actors are the very people who enacted those scenes. They are not actors hired for the purpose, but are the very people themselves, and are simply repeating in public the acts they have performed in actual life and service. Every railroad going south takes its passengers to the gates, and there are two entrances provided, one at Sixty-second street and another at Sixty-third street.
