Buffalo Bill's brass band won
universal admiration at the evening
performance in front of the Opera
House, as was evidenced by the applause
of the large crowd at the conclusion
of each performance. The cornet
solo of Mr. Frank Thompson between
the second and third acts has
seldom, if ever, been excelled by any
cornet player visiting this city, and was
heartily applauded. Chris Burger, the
organizer of the band and leader of the
orchestra, has the happy faculty of
bringing more music out of a piece
with less instruments, than any composer
or arranger we have listened to
for a long time. Mr. Cody ought to
feel proud of his music.
