THEATRICAL.--- Buffalo Bill and his company
had the expected full house at the theatre last
evening, and Major Burt's drama, "May Cody,"
served very well in affording the star an opportunity
to be seen and heard, without so much
obscuration by powder smoke, or drowning by
rifle and pistol shots, as in his old plays.
He appears in evening dress as well
as in that of the plains, and the
scenes of the play are not entirely confined
to the fort and forest. A part of the company
put the audience in good humor by playing
"The Limerick Boy," before the presentation
of "May Cody," and the drama had an
Irish comedy part, which was rendered so as to
gain considerable favor. Buffalo Bill was "first,
last and always," given unbounded applause.

The entertainment is to be repeated this evening,
and all its features, the veritable Sioux Indians,
the wonderful handling of a "bull
whip," the popular rifle shooting of the Austin
Brothers, will no doubt prove attractions to
another large house. That meek-looking squirrel
gray donkey will appear again.
