The Wild Weet show, of Col. Cody's, is without exception the greatest attraction of modern times. The throngs about the lake front have ceased to talk of the World's Fair and are all inquiring the way to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Such an aggregation of wild riders was never before congregated together. There are no principal features of this show, unless it is the veteran Col. Cody himself, it is an all- feature show, everyone is a star in their particular line.
From the cowboys and vaqueros, of the Plain's and Mexico, the representative cavalry of four armies, the wild Cossacks, the gauchos of South America, our own Sioux "hair raisers" down to little Johnny Burke No Neck, there is nothing slow or slouchy about them. In clay pigeon and glass ball shooting, nothing can excel the feats of Cody's shooting on horseback, or the neat performance of Miss. Annie Oakley and the Kid. Much of the success of this show is due to the management of the amiable Maj. Burke, "Arizona John" the veteran Scout and Indian fighter of Arizona. What the genial Major does not know about Indians and wild Western life he is not inquiring about.
