HI FIALO KILLS REVIEW Of the Representative Koiigli Kilters of (lie World On 110 account should the habitual tardiness, which characterizes so many on entertainment bound, lie permitted to rob any pair of eyes of the grand and glorious equestrian review, with which the afternoon and evening's performan ces of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of rough riders of the World, i at Butler on Wednesday, Julv <> will be inaugurated at precisely 2 and S o'clock. "Imagine." says the New York Sun, "a keleidoscope, with an object filed four and a half acres in extent, occupied by a swift- moving mass of figures, individu ally picturesque, brilliant with metallic reflections and gay with colors, mo mentarily springing and flashing into new combinations and modes of motion which dazzle, confuse and fascinate the eye of the holder. Such is the spectacle presented by the hundreds of 'rough riders,' forming port of the 'Wild West' show, when gone through their evolutions together. All the rest of the show is interesting and remarkable; the marksmanship of Buffalo Bill and his men. the excellent acrobatic feats of genuine Arabs, the Indians songs and dances, the combats between the scouts, cowlioys and red men. and lunch more that need not be recapitulated: but, af ter all, the feature which arouses the enthusiasm of the spectators is the tem porary Centaur, the horseman combi nation seen in each of these rough rid ers when in action. It stirs the blood as no other spectacle could short of a battle, a shipwreck or an earthquake. When band after band of Vaqueros, Gauchos, Cowboy and Indians, gallop ing swiftly, with wild yells, fluttering drapery and waving lariats, are follow ed by ponderons German Cuirassiers, dashing French cavalryman, impetuous Cossacks, handsome Royal Irish Lan cers, mysterious Arab horsemen and American cavalry, all in succession, charging up the field, wheeling with characteristic salutes, and retreating at full speed the thundering of the hors es' hoofs, the snorting of the animals, the dull roar of the moving mass, the Haunting of the pennons and plumes of the riders and the flashing of sabres, send through the spectotors a thrill of vital sympathy with the electric energy, magnificent force, and grace of the army of Centaurs. Men and women rise in their seats, shouting, applauding, waving hats anil handkerchieves in their excitement." And since the alxtve was written Col ('ody has added another spectacle of equal effect and far more thrilling war like realism, in the stupendous and tremendous impressive reproduction of lamented Caster's Last Battle and hero ic death of the Little Dig Horn.

No other Summer outing appeals so strongly to the people of Western Penn sylvania as the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's popular excursions to the Atlantic* seacoast. For years they have been looked forward to an the holiday event of each Summer. The secret of their great popularity is the phenom enally low rate and the high character of the service. The limit of twelve days just fits the time set apart for the average vacation, and the dates of the excursions are most conveniently adjus ted. There is also the widest field for choice in the selection of a resort. At lantic City, Cape May, Sea Isle City, Ocean City, N. J.. Rehoboth, Del., and Ocean City, Md . are the choicest of the Atlantic coast resorts, and any one of them may l>e visited under these ar rangements. The dates of the excursions are July 7 and 21, and Angnst -t and is. A spe cial train of Pullman parlor cars and day coaches will leave Pittsburg on above-mentioned dates at s.,V> A.

It is with great pleasure that I greet you the lioys of Company E and especi ally so as I am the bearer of the good wishes, encouragement and kind re gards of your friends and neighbors of Butler. After the demonstration that was made in yonr honor on the evening of your departure it is unnecessary for me to assure yon that each member of this Company is held in the highest regard and esteem by every citizen of your native town. They well know and have full confidence that whatever else may happen or whatever else may be done in this war, that Company E will do its dnty. faithfuilv and well. Flags have been adopted by all Nations of the earth from the earliest history of the world, for we read in Holy Writ "Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his standard, with the ensign of his Father's House. Ever since this command was given, every Nation has pitched by the stand ard that represented its principles, its belief or its religion, and these have lieen various in form and representing all sorts of animals and wild beasts, feathers tied around a pole or piece of armor elevated, the name of the king and many other forms and devices. These were adopted to awaken feelings of awe and devotion and to create en thusiasm in their followers thus we find England with its lion. Russia with its bear, and Spain with several differ ent kinds of animals, but it remained for freedom to select a new device as her banner on which terrestrial objects had no place for. as we are told. "When freedom, from her mountain height. Unfurled her standard to the air. She tore the azure rol>e of night. And set the stars of glory there " To yon Captain McJunkin and through yon I present this Hag to com pany E as the most cherishsd gift your friends could lies tow. Accept it in the same spirit of affec tion with which it is presented. Carv it fourth upborn by brave hands wherever duty calls, and whether it floats in peace or flutters amid the storm of battle its honor will be safe in your care. Its stars will never shine bright er than in the smoke of battle as "Darkness shows ns worlds of light we never saw by day." Defend it. if necessary, with your life, and when armed foes confront you and threaten dishonor or defeat to our arms, then "Let the bugle sound, yont starry ban ner wave And either victory or the grave." Let the flag be your pillar of cloud by day, of fire by night, to guide yon to an honorable peace, through triumphant victory. Then when peace spreads her white wings, when the cannon cease to roar, when the bugle's call is heard 110 more on bloody fields, return in safety and honor, and wearing the plaudits of a joyous people 011 your brows and this starry banner in your hands, well ad vanced and floating proudly over your returning heroes, while the multitude with uncovered heads in a song heard beyond the seas, sing "O, the star spangled, O, long may it wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." Col. Cody's Only Card. To THE PUBLIC: Once for all, and all rumors and re ports to the contrary notwithstanding, I beg to most positively assure my com rades, friends, patrons and the press, that wherever and whenever my "Wild West aud Congress of Rough Riders of t'.ie World" is billed to appear, there will Ibe with it a'so. That I not only always personally direct it as a whole and every production connected there with, but invariably appear at each and every afternoon and evening perform ance, conscientiously fulfilling every advertised promise made in my name. My place has always been at the front; I have not been accustomed to loiter at the rear. Yours very truly, W. F.CODY ("Buffalo Bill") Convention National Educational Association, Washington, l>. C.
