MOZART HALL.- What a top-heavy house there was last night! The lower door was completely filled as far back as the balcony columns with gentlemen and ladies, including many people who are visiting the city. The balcony was also well filled, but the gallery was absolutely swarming. It seemed that the boys were packed 1ike sardines up there, and gave the whole audience an air of top-heaviness that suggested a downfall. And much applause! It came from the heights. It was called forth by the bewildering and highly exciting scenes of slaughter with which the play abounds. The greater number killed the louder the shouts, and when the curtain falls on a stage full of slain red men, with Buffalo Bill in proud triumph standing over his victims, no boy who loves to be thrilled with wild Western scenes could refuse to yell. The result is highly electrical, and the whole audience joins in the excitement.

Mlle Morlacchi appeared last night and was greeted with unmistakable marks of approval. The versatility of this inimitable danseuse is beginning to astonish ber admirers. She displays ability in acting and is not wanting in ability as a vocalist,

The same programme for to-night.
