The Buffalo Bill Combination.

A very large and quite enthusiastic audience greeted the original scout combinaiton headed by Buffalo Bill. (Hon. W. F. Cody,) and Texas Jack, (J. B. Omahundro,) at St. James Hall last evening. The troups is improved since its last appearance here. The sensationallisms have been modified exaggerations dispensed with, and they present a much better tramatic performance.

"Life on the Border," a thrilling drama depicting frontier life constituted the principal feature of the programma last evening, Buffalo Bill appearing as the lover, the backwoodsman, and the dead shot. The characters were all quite well sustained, and none of the interest of the play was allowed to drag. It was preceded by the comedies "Twice Married," in which was introduced and charmed the audience with her surpassingly graceful movements.

This afternoon the combination will give a matinee for ladies and children, and to-night the scouts will give their closing performance with an entire change of programme. There will, without a doubt, be crowded houses on both occasions.
