WILD
WEST PAGEANT.
This
cosmographic street cavalcade is the realism of racial
individuality; a mounted march and organized babel of widely
differing nationalities and tongues; a vivid contrasting
of famous, unique and peculiar characters and singular and
unfamiliar customs, such as would be utterly impossible without
the co-operation and consent of foreign governments and home
authorities, and one which no other management on earth has the
material to duplicate or the official and individual influence
to compass.
It
includes the Indian as Miles Standish, Penn, Washington, Boone,
Carson and Custer saw and knew him, and riding with him the very
men who played so large and brave a part in blazing, in blood,
torture and deprivation, the pathway for civilization through
the last and remotest of his desperately defended hunting
grounds. It stretches in living introduction, from the
wigwam of the Sioux to the palace of the Czar, and from the log
hut of the pioneer and the lonely devious of the trapper and
scout to the armed camps of kingly rulers.
Following the renowned Cowboy Band of thirty-six pieces on
horseback come in long, adorned and variegated line, hundred's
of aboriginal chiefs and braves in all fearful gruesome panoply
of war; sinewy strangely garbed Cossacks of the Czar's Light
Cavalry, mounted on their wiry and active Ukraine steeds; lithe,
picturesque Riffian Arabs on their desert thoroughbreds; a
cohort from "The Queen's Own" Lancers; stalwart troopers from
the German Emperor's Bodyguard, chasseurs and cuirassiers from
the crack cavalry regiments of European standing armies;
detachments of United States Cavalry and Artillery, with full
batteries of field and mounted guns; South American
Gauchos, Uhlans, rough-riding Ruralies, jaunty Mexican Baqueros,
bronzed Cuban veterans, Porto Ricans, Hawaiians, Czikos,
dare-devil Cowboys, Wild West Girls, Scouts, Frontiersmen, Texas
Rangers, Roosevelt Rough Riders, the historic old Deadwood Mail
Coach, an Indian village on the move, Emigrant perial
equipments, aboriginal weapons, flags, pennons, sumptuous
trappings, and hundreds of wonderfully broken beautiful
horse ridden by the native kings of.....It is History, Humanity
heroin's on horseback.
