BUFFALO BILL'S SHOW.

UNIQUE AMONG ENTERTAINMENTS.

"Rough Riders of the World," With Characteristic National Scenes From Many Countries - Col. Cody's Little Grand-daughter and Her View of the Fair.

Have you ever seen Buffalo Bill's wild west show? No? Then you have one of he rarest pleasures on earth still in store for you. It isn't a show merely. It isn't a cricus. It is in no sense an aggretion of curios. But it is the gathering together in one sweep the rough activities of 5,000 years.

In the first place there are a good many interesting things up and down the plaza outside the amphitheater along which the tents and cabins of the various performers are ranged.

There is Little Johnny Burke No-neck, a Sioux lad who was found just alive after the battle of Wounded Knee, and who has been adopted by the gallant Major Burke, and brought here with his people after a tour almost around the world. There is a cossack prince from the land of the czar, who has the permission of his master to come here and show to western eyes a glimpse of vigor from the east. There are chiefs of the Sioux nation, expert rifle shots, both of men and women, and all about them are collected the accoutrements of life s they lvie it at home.
