Buffalo Bill.

The Buffalo Bill combination drew a
large audience to the Academy of Music
last night. The entertainment, judging
from the enthusiastic applause, was of a
most interesting character. Mr. Cody
has improved greatly as an actor since
his former appearance in this city. His
marvelous skill as a marksman--that of
shooting an apple from the hand, snuffing
a candle held in the hand and shooting
the fire from a cigar held in the month,
should alone fill the largest theatre in
any city. Judging from the intense interest
manifested in the play throughout,
a second night here of "May Cody, or
Lost and Won," would bring even a larger
audience than that of last night.
