' "Blcuard la himself again I" At least that Is what the thousands who packed Madison Square Garden Tuesday night, April '£i. thought, when they once again welcomed lienl Wm. !•'. Cody (Buffalo U1U) to New Xork. The famous ex-scout and popular idol sever looked better, and surely he never re- ceived a greater ovation. While we sadly missed his picturesque figure on his horse heading the cowboys In their various at- tacks on the Indians, we were gratified that LEtwBVSB. \J Lk \. li V M SSlSSSSSSSTa WW TV ** M ^««*w">«w* - — — — DFUVcQ he was still a part of the big show which he g wcene , #-.....,..,1 „™.., f. an lr In tka Mirltr 'fift. ™, V a H.

William Sweeney was there with his Cow- boy Band and discoursed everything In the musical line from grand opera selections to popular ragtime numbers. Chas. B.

The crowd waa the biggest that ever at- tended the metropolitan opening of this show, and that fact alone hi worthy of mention. Of the show Itself, It Is probably the best arranged of any given since the formation of the partnership between Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill, and la one delightful entertain- ment from the time the people of the far Kaat open the show to the ttnale, when the Indians,- cowboys, and the full strength of the company appear on horseback and Major Lillle rides In and expresses his thanks. la the first ep'sode besides the Cingalese, Hindoo Fakirs, Whirling Dervishes, and other Far Bastem people, there la Ameen Abou Uaauned's Troupe of Arabs, Boris Frldkln « Hussion dancers. Max Uruber's animal act, and a troupe of Japanese Jlu Jltxu wrestlers. It is needless to say they all did capital work. General W. P. Cody (Buffalo BUI) then appeared driving two beautiful cream colored horses attached to a phaeton. After driving around ho came to a stop in the middle of the arena and addressed the huge gathering. lie spoke about live minutes, and at the clouu of bis remarks be introduced Major Gordon W. Lillle (Pawnee Bui) as bis successor, Major Lillle responding with a tew words. The Uusslan Cossacks then gave an ex- hibition of feats of horsemansulp, which wus followed by an artulery drllL A new feature was shown in the fourth episode. This consisted of a ban! of Boy biuuts who appeared In the manual of arms, a. unique drill and a nag drill. The young- sters proved themselves to be adepts. Then was given a race of races between a cowboy, In dian , Arab, Cossack, Mexican and llougli Ulder, and included what Is claimed as the only pulr of buffalo ever broken to harness, and driven by Uose Wentworth-Carr. Frontier life of tne pioneers was then shown, telling a story in animated tableaux of the encroachments of the early wulte settlers on the Indians' land. In this epi- sode was Introduced Indiana from various ttloux tribes la their primitive conditions, garbed In their picturesque native fashlonB, etc., showing their style of travel, making camp, their home Bfe, sports, pastlmeB anil methods of trailing an enemy by scouts, war dancing, breaking camp and on the warpath. 'ilio wagon Train came for the ninth epi- sode, and to follow the description given on the program: "While the red warriors are following the trail the scene changes and the white settlers appear with a train of T'ralrle Schooners,' drawn by the then prevalent style of transportation, the old ox and mule teams), their saddle ponies, pack horses, bur- ros and a medley of household and camp equipment, wending their way guardedly across the continent.'' They go into camp; Krk the train for defense; picket the stock, ppy that no sign of enemlo* has been dis- covered by the outriders; enmr with Joyous spirit into the little merry makings, frolics, gambols and conviviality that past Immunity from danger has inspired. No dancing floor available, the lads and lassie* do a dashing, Sracefui, old time quadrille on horseback, .'he redskin, skilled in the art of conceal- ment. Is on the trail, surveys the conditions without disturbing confidence until be pounces on bis prey, resulting In a vivid picture of the most nerve trying adventure of frontier days, tho attack on an emigrant train, and a realistic Indian battle scene. Cowboy fun followed. It Is made a fea- ture of this year's show, and the wisdom of such a move was proved bf the enthusiastic applause which greeted It. The picking up of handkerchiefs by the cowboys and cow- girls was, of course, well liked nut the part which pleased moat was the fearless riding of the bucking bronchos by the girls and boys. In several Instances it looked as though the horse was unrldable, but the cowboy or girl, as the case might be, con- quered. A novelty was here given In riding a buffalo harnessed with saddle and bridle. While the animal was not as speedy as the horses, It proved to bo soniewhut of a "bucker." A number of expert lasso throwers gave a capital exhlblion for the twelfth episode. The Auto-polo, one of the most thrllllngly sensational sporting events which has ever been seen In the arena, Is one of the fea- tures of this year's show, and to say that it lives up to the "billing" puts It mildly. The chauffeurs of the machines are mar- vels In their line, and handle the autos as readily as the average cyclist can handle his bicycle, making necessary short turns, quick stops and remarkable twists, so that tho man with the polo mallet can hit the l-aii. It Is a "stunt" which, to be fully appreciated, muBt bo seen. The Qnal review, introducing tho full strength of the company. Is a fitting climax to one of the most remarkable performances that has ever been seen in this big home of remarkable shows. 'Louis Cooke, general reprcsentatlvo, and Tbe second week began April 28.

Among the features of the parade Is a new calliope, which is run by compressed air, and a ladles' band, which is conducted by Mrs. E. Butler. The Fonr Rivers are among the new- comers on tbe show. They do a very smart contortion act and are making good. Another new act is that of the Eugene Troupe of aerlallsts. Their tricks are far above the average. George Washington, that well known de- lineator of Shakespeare, baa started his course of training. Besides being an actor George has acquired world-wide fame as an exponent of tbe noble art of self-denial, and as a stewed door. The girls say be looks Ordoor-able.
