BUSH STREET THEATER-The Red Right
Hand was a varied last night by the introduction
of a duel on horseback, between
"Buffalo Bill" and "Yellow Hand" (Captain
Jack). For a few minutes three was a
lively display of a curious kind of horsemanship
upon the stage, two very frightened
horsed and the worst shooting ever
witnessed. "Yellow Hand" on his horse,
riding, mounting and dismounting and on
the ground, in every way showed himself
superior in agility and artifice to "Buffalo
Bill," and under ordinary circumstances
would have been victorious, but then
"Buffalo Bill" would not have had the tag,
"The first scalp for Custer." In creating a
sensation in the gallery the horses were
quite a bit, and did their parts well.
