The scouts appeared at Corinthian Hall last night before a tremendous house. The piece represented is a dramatisation of one of Ned Buntline's Indian stories, and being novel was well received. The play, however, was a second consideration. the crowd came to see Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack. The first, W. F. Cody, is a fine specimen of manhood and the latter is also a good looking sample of the western scouts. Both were dressed in true prairie fashion and acquitted themselves well. M'lle Mortacchi as the "dusty maid of the forest," Dore Eye was placed in a novel position for a danseuse, but nevertheless assumed the character very credibly. Judging by the applause, the audience were evidently perfectly satisfied with the whole performance. A matinee will be given this afternoon, and the final performance this evening.
