Amusements.

Music Hall - BUFFALO BILL - Considering
the inclemency of the weather last
evening. Music Hall was unusually
crowded. From the rising of the curtain
in the first act, until the final drop, the
audience were wild with enthusiasm. It
is not in our province to criticize Mr.
Cody as an actor, because on the stage he
is the same glorious, kind-hearted,
brave "big boy" he was when he was
living a "Life on the Border." Kit
Carson, Jr., is the idea of our hero as
represented by our sensational writers,
and fulfilled the highest anticipations of
the audience. The rest of the Buffalo Bill's
support deserving mention are Arizona
John, Hiram Robbins, J. Graham and
Miss May Marshall, "a true girl from
Kildare." To an audience beauty is a
wonderful incentive, and where the heroine
does not excel in that gift, it is next
to impossible to applaud even excellent
acting. Such was the misfortune of the
heroine of "Life on the Border." This
afternoon will be given a matinee, and
this evening "The Scouts of the Plains"
will be presented.
