Aug 12''
It has been supposed by the general public
that nothing could be added to the interest
and attractiveness of Buffalo Bill's Wild
West, but Col. Cody and Mr. Salsbury have
all along had a novelty "up their sleeves"
ready to spring on the public at the most
opportune moment, and they consider next
Wednesday, Aug. 16, as the accepted time.
On that day without in the least curtailing
their present elegant programme they will
add to it a feature that will be one worthy
the closest attention, and one of distinctive
attracetiveness, with specially painted and
accurately correct scenic and other surroundings,
a representation of the "Battle of the
Little Big Horn; or Custer's Last Charge,"
will be given in the immense arena, and
many of the actual participants in that bloody
fight will take part in the mimic representation
to be presented at the Wild West.
Col. Cody was chief of scouts in that campaign
and his knowledge of the subject,
aided by Chief Rocky Bear, Painted Horse
and Plenty Horses, now at the Wild West, as
well as other participants in that American
Thermopylae, have succeeded during the
past few weeks of constant rehearsals in
perfecting a representation that should startle
the ordinary amusement seeker and should
prove on of the most educative exhibitions
ever offered to the people of any country.
