National Guard Hall.
The audiences at National Guard Hall,
Virginia, grow larger and more enthusiastic
each evening. Last evening Buffalo
Bill and his company presented the drama
entitled, "The Scouts of the Plains," a
play which gives an opportunity for a grand
display of the wonderful talents of those
two extrordinary men, William F. Cody
and J. W. Crawford. Everything worked to
perfection last night, and the play passed off
satisfactorily. The audience was delighted.
The friends whom Buffalo Bill has gathered
around him during his brief stay here decided
to make to-night the occasion of
turning out en masse, and in return Bill
has announced that he will appear in two
dramas-"The Red Right Hand" and
"the Scout of the Plains," and in the
former will give an exact limitation of how
he killed the famous Cheyenne chief, Yellow
Hand, at the battle of Indian Creek,
July 17, 1876. Bill will be mounted upon
a fiery, untamed steed, and Captain Jack
Crawford, who will impersonate Yellow
Hand, will also be well mounted. The
rencounter will occur on horseback, and a
superlatively exciting sensation will be
the result. To-morrow afternoon a "Red
Right Hand" matinee will be given.
