The enemy rushed in, and for ten minutes there was a sham battle which filled the place with noise and confusion.
This battle was copied as exactly as it could be copied from one of the scrimmages in which I had taken part in my first days as a scout.
Then we gave them a buffalo hunt, in which I had a hand, and did a little fancy shooting.
As a finish there was a Wild Western cyclone, and a whole Indian village was blown out of existence for the delectation of the English audience. The initial performance was given before the Prince and Princess of Wales, afterward King Edward and his Queen, and their suite.
At the close of the program the Prince and Princess, at their own request, were introduced to all the leading members of the company, including many of the Indians.
