The Knight of the Plains.

There never were more people in the
Opera House at one time than crowded
there to see Buffalo Bill, the "Knight of
the Plains," Saturday night. Six hundred
tickets were sold for the upper
gallery alone, and they made as much
noise as a full regiment of Commanches
could were they put to their metal. The
fact is the play fafrly set the little fellows
wild, while some older ones in the
audience were not slow to testify their
satisfaction by wild shrieks of applause.
The play was of the blood and thunder
style known only to border writers, but it
"draws," and that is what the managements
want, we presume.
