Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of the Rough Riders of the World continues to attract large crowds afternoon and evening at the arena on Madison avenue between Sixty-third streets. The splendid exhibition is well worth seeing. So, also, is the military tournament as presented by the English soldiers at "Tattersall's," on Sixteenth street, near State. At both places the exhibition of horsemanship is wonderful.

COWBOYS TO RACE TO THE FAIR.

Mounted on Broncos They Will Start from Chadron, Neb., June 13.

CHADRON, Neb., May 6. - [Special.] - the cowboy race to the World's Fair will start from Chadron June 13 and will end at Buffalo Bill's grounds in Chicago, where the winners will be presented with the several prizes by the well-known Nebraskan, W. F. Cody. Mr. Cody has added $500 to the $1,000 prize, this money to be divided into three purses. Colt's Firearms company has made a special prize of one of their cowboy companions, which wil be used to fire the signal shot. The list of riders at this time comprises the following, many of them famous names:

Doc Middleton, Chadron; Emmitt Albright, Chadron; Dynamite Jack, Crawford, Neb; Ira Demmon. Rawhide Butte, Wyo.; Nick James, halfbreed, Pine Ridge Agency: Jim Murray, Eagle Pass, Tex.; Harry Gillespie, Flag Butte, Neb.; Peter Shangraw, halfbreed. Pine Ridge Agency; Same Tyler, Kingfisher Ok.; Harry Rutter, Miles City, Mont.; Hedom Wounded Knee; Ham Bell, Buffalo Gap, S. D.; Jack Flagg, Big Horn Basin; Snake Creek Spotted Wolf, Rosebud agency; Joe Gifford, Pierre, S. D. ; Rattlesnake Pete, Creedie, Colo.; Joe Sampson, Warbonnet, Neb.; Miss Emma Hutchinson, Denver, Colo.; Grey Wilson, Paris, Ill.; Sam Irwin, Deadwood, S. D.; Cockeyed Bill Manville, Wyo.

As the start will be on the opening day of the State firemen's tournament Gov. Crounse has been invited to be present and fire the signal shot that starts the race and then to review the competing fire companies. Miss Hutchinson, who hails from Denver, is a young lady who has done much riding, and although not of a robust physique still thinks she can win the race, being thoroughly acquanted with her own powers of endurance as well as the staying qualities of the Western branco.

In these days when stage realism has become a species of "fad" and adherence to actuality appears to be demanded in public performances it is a gratification to theater-goer, critic and student alike to see the new demand accord strictly with merit, with no chance of offending, and teaching historic lessons with impressive and attractive force. A visit to Buffalo Bill's Wild West convinces that this all can be done. History, realism, education and amusement are here all combined. The actual living Indian is shown as he is; his home life is actually exhibited; his method of warfare and his pleaures in times of peace are illustrated. The Wild West is located opposite the 63d street entrance of the World's Fair and is easily reached by all lines of cars going south. Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), the leader of teh great enterprise, and who takes a foremost part in each of the two daily performances, has become a famous character in the history of the development of the great west, and his record as scout, guide and Indian fighter has been made by actual service and is fully and honorably attested. In addition to Indians, the Wild West introduces us to Cossacks, Arabs, Mexicans, South American gauchos and, in contrast, to the more thoroughly disciplined cavalry of England, Germany, France and our own United States.

WILD WEST.

Second only to the World's Fair in general interest to visitors is unquestionably Buffalo Bill's Wild West which is located just opposite the Sixty-third street entrance of the great exposition. This entertainment is so characteristic, unique, and picturesque that it has interest for all classes of amusement seekers. It is in the nature of an educational exhibit as it illustrates thoroughly events in the history of the great West of which all have read; it shows to those who have come to study the exhibits of art, science and manufacture inside the walls of the Columbian Exposition the living descendants of the people the great discoverer found when first he landed upon this continent.
