Buffalo Bill's Entertainment.

The opera house was filled with an
audience numbering upwards of a thousand
persons Saturday night, to witness
the performance of the frontier play of
the "Prairie Waif," by Buffalo Bill and
his company. The play was very satisfactorily
presented, with its attendant
thrilling border scenes, by the company,
Mr. Frank Thompson giving a pleasing
cornet solo, Mr. Cody himself exhibiting
his rare skill as a marksman and the real
Indians executing their unique war
dances. Mr. Jule Kean's fun and the
donkey Jerry's eccentricities brought
down the house occasionally, and the
audience generally decided the evening
had been enjoyably spent.
