A group of horseback riders, possibly South American gauchos, rides horses through a grassy area during a performance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The men wear wide-brimmed hats and have straps that cross their chests. Several additional riders are stopped on their horses in the right background. Those men wear helmets and uniforms and carry flags. The men are members of "Buffalo Bill's Congress of Rough Riders of the World." Tents cover the viewing stands in the left background. A row of lights stands in front of the tents.
