–Buffalo Bill played to a packed house in New Haven Saturday night, and doubtless such will be the case at the City Hall to-morrow evening. An exchange says: "The role of 'Buffalo Bill,' personated by Mr. Cody, was a fine performance and perfectly natural. Mr. Cody is a man of splendid appearance, and immediately impresses his audience favorably. 'Darby McCune,' by Mr. Carroll, was most cleverly acted, and elicited frequent applause, the introduction of his donkey taking immensely with the gallery. Miss Lydia Denier, a charming and graceful young lady, assumed the character of 'May Cody,' and gave evidence of being an actress of considerable merit. The performance closed with 'Thirty Minutes among the People from the Plains,' introducing the Pawnees and Nez Perces Indians in their native pastimes. During this part of the entertainment Mr. Cody, with wonderful skill, broke several potatoes in pieces with balls fired from a parlor rifle held in the most difficult positions. His accuracy of aim is almost incredible. This was really a most enjoyable feature to the majority of the audience, as there are few persons who do not admire and appreciate real skill."
