THE principal place of resort, par excellence, during the holidays is sure to be Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The different tableaux are received nightly by crowded audiences with every evidence of appreciation, and as an insight into frontier life in America it would be impossible to approach nearer to reality. The shooting of Miss Annie Oakley is a wonderful feature; while the skill of the cowboys in the management, or rather impossibility of management, of the Bucking horses is nightly the theme of praise on every hand.
