great impersonator of the Shakespearian
drama.

Friday evening witnessed the initiatory
performance of the Buffalo Bill
company, an attraction which is perhaps
among the most novel and interesting
that has visited this section of
the country in years. The support includes
a band of genuine Indians and
a powerful dramatic company, and is
well worthy a generous appreciation.
The present season is a brilliant one
for Pueblo and the prospective outlook
is still brighter. Below will be found
a brief summary of the society news.

THE KNIGHT OF THE PLAINS, OR BUFFALO
BILL's BEST TRAIL.

The great and generous government
scout, Hon. W. F. Cody, supported by
his band of Indians and unrivalled
dramatic talent, in their grand Interpretation
of the border drama, made
their second and farewell appearance
to a house last evening that goes far
towards showing that when there is
an occasion, Pueblo will turn out en
masse to greet the first-class entertainment.
The curtain rises on the prairie
scene; where War Eagle, an Indian
chieftain and staunch friend of the
scout is mistaken for a Sioux Indian
and bitter foe, A report, a blinding
flash, and several feathers are clipped
from his headdress, It is this period
Buffalo Bill makes his first entre,
and in that grand role which talent,
and a thrilling past experience has so
thoroughly instilled, effects an impersonation
which wrapt attention of the audience.

The second act displays a handsome
drawing-room scene in the city of
New York and in the third act the
rising of the curtain discloses the
interior of a Cheyenne bar-room. It is
this act that the opportunity is presented
for the exhibition of his remarkable
dramatic talent. The curtain
falls on the great stage robbery
scene, one of the grandest productions
of the sensational drama we have ever
witnessed. The support is faultless
throughout. Mrs. Huntlogton, as Wild
Nellie, gained favor with the audience.
C. H. Tyler, as Moses Modlodi, and D.
Marbella, as Judge Chincapin, were
simply Immense. the other performed
their parts in a manner highly
satisfactory. Aside from this, the
war dance enacted by the Indians
and the extraordinary shooting of the
scout. elicited the bounded appreciation
of all. It is well to say that
those not in attendance missed the
rarest treat of the season.
