"Once more to tbe breechloaders, and the cry Is, 'Still they come,' " at Madison Square Garden, where Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of .Rough Riders of (he, World opened a three weeks' engagement on Tues- day. April 23. Male New Yorkers, although sometimes loth to confess It, have all been steeped In Wild West lore at some time during their - lives, and they all like a' taste of the thrill thai goes with the Buffalo Bill' sample of life on the plains In pioneer days. Hence the big attendance that Invariably greets Col. Cody's aggregation whenever we can gee within calling distance of It. This year the thrills dispensed by the show are as many and as agreeable as ever, and some new features that have been added to the performance are responsible for even- more Interest than Is usually occasioned by the advent of the cowboys and Indians. There was not a mediocre feature on the long and varied programme, and what was especially pleasing to the big opening night audience was tho smoothness and despatch with which the different numbers were carried out, and the rapidity with which the large arena was cleared after every battle scene or exhibit, thus doing away with any delay. The biggest cards of the evening were the riding of the bucking horses, the shooting of clay balls by Col. Cody and Johnny Baker, and the new big fighting scene, entitled "The Battle of Summit Springs," which was warm- ly applauded on the opening night hy Gen. k. A. Carr, who commanded the Unlled Htates troops during that battle. In I860, and who watched with Interest its reproduction at the garden on Tuesday night, In company with Gen. Nelson A. Miles, another distinguished visitor. Annie Schaefer, a cowgirl, who' was Intro- duced by Col. Cody as a real wonder, lived up to tbe high praise her chief gave her, for she rode one of the wildest and most energetic bunkers In the whole collection of untamed horses, and got some of the heartiest applause of the evening for It In the scene showing "The Battle of Sum- mit Spring!!," an Indian village, erected in full view of the spectators, and peopled hv the redskins as they were la the days of savage uprisings una slaughter, proved niosi entertaining, and the entire exhibit, from the raising of the tents to tbe charge of the United States troops and the wiping out of the savages, wan cleverly arranged and of absorbing Interest. , Another feature that was thrilling antl well liked was the daring riding of a former pony evpress rider, who dismounted from a Hying pony and remounted another horse with lightning-ilk" rapidity. The show has undoubtedly taken the town by storm, and tbe big Garden should be ton small for the crowds that the exuihlllnu deserves to attract. The programme as given on the opening night, and which Is to be continued through- out the season, follows: Overture by the Cowboy Band, Wm. Swee- ney, leader.
