Two cowboys try to calm a horse in a dirt arena during a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The men wear sheepskin chaps and cowboy hats. Additional men and horses are in the midground. The audience fills the bleachers underneath a large tent in the background. Several buildings stand behind the tent.
