BUFFALO BILL.

He Draws a Crowded House and Satisfies
Everybody.

The announcement that such illustrious
and world-renowned personages as
Buffalo Bill and Captain Jack would appear
in our city was sufficient to draw an
immense audience to Dietz Hall last evening.
The audience was indeed immense,
the dress circle being crowded with the
elite of Oakland, who having heard of
these scouts, wished to see them portray in
a few hours, the experience of their border
life. The balcony was completely
crammed, mostly by the younger portion
of our population. who, having had their
heads turned by yellow-covered literature,
and with innumerable ideas of scalp-hunters
and their trials in hunting Indians,
showed that they appreciated the famous
gentlemen, by the long continued applause
with which they greeted them every time
they came on the stage. The support was
excellent, all filling their roles in splendid
style. Miss Granville, as a "true-hearted
Italian girl from Cork," and W. Simms as
a Peace Commissioner, were unusually
good, and elicited rounds of applause.
Altogether "Life on the Border" was a
splendid success, and was well received
by the audience.
