Buffalo Bill at the Academy.

This popular historian who has been
appearing at the Academy of Music this
work, supported by an efficient dramatic
company, we are pleased to state has been
drawing immense houses. The mere
announcement of Buffalo Bill alone would
insure an overflowing house at most any
times, but to have a succession slightly of
such tremendous business and also increasing
each night reflects great credit on the
performance, both as to the quality of
the drama and the excellent company
and completely dispels the idea of any
taint that may have overshadowed this old
familiar place of amusement by the nature
of past entertainments lately given here.
To-night "The Red Right Hand" will be
given for the last time and the thrilling
frontier drama "Life on the Border" will
be given at the holiday matinee to-morrow
and also in the evening, which will be the
last appearance of the company.

It may be well enough to mention here
that Cleveland has some claim on the hero
scout, Ilon. W. F. Cody. Ill's father was
one of the early settlers here, who afterwards
emigrated to the frontier, and Mr.
Joseph Cody, now a resident of our city
is uncle to William F. and the only relative
he has living.
