Scouts of the Plains. - This play was performed to a small crowd in the opera house. But what the audience lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiastic appreciation of the entertainment. The piece is replete with incidents of the most thrilling description, in which Buffalo Bill played the most conspicuous part. He killed Indians by the dozen, with a few traitorous whites thrown in, and when the battle closed he had the happy consciousness of knowing that he had added new laurels to his fame as a strategie, courageous and successful Indian fighter. It made no difference how numerous the redskins or how completely armed they were bound to be routed. The performance lasted about two hours and a half, and very few left the hall during its progress, evidently enjoying the frontier scenes as transferred to the stage.
