Buffalo Bill.
At Park Opera House, Saturday evening, this great scout's admirers were on hand by the thousands; one of the closed packed audiences we have ever seen in this city, assembled there. And they had lots of fun, Mr. Cody in the new drama, carrying everything before him. Indeed, we are of the opinion that in time he will have to add to his reputation, as a great scout and Indian fighter that, also of being a good actor. Mr. Cody has a fine combination with him, and gives lots of amusement for the money.

The Buffalo Bill Combination.
St. James Hall last evening held an audience in size seldom equalied since the Centennial Exhibition and the hard times conspired against amusement managers. Every part of the hall was filled with standing room even at a premium. The reader will perhaps not be slow in rightly surmieing that this large gathering was in respect to Hon. William F. Cody, more familiarly known as Buffalo Bill, who improves his hours of leisure from the healthful pastline of the war-path by mounting the Thespian stage and from thence instructing the interested public in the benign policy pursued with such signal success by our government toward the copper colored children of the west. Buffalo Bill's identification with the campaign immediately following the massacre of Custer and his command has brought him into greater prominence than ever, and last evening the audience was ready to greet with thundering acclamations the called of the unlucky Yellow Hand.
Mr. Cody is supported by quite a numerous company, with "Captain Jack Crawford, the Poet Scout of the Black Hills," as "leading men," and some of the members indicate the possession of a good degree of dramatic talent. The drama which was presented for the first time in this city bears the euphonious and encrimsoned titles of "The Red Right Hand, or Buffalo Bill's First Scalp for Custer," and is in five acts representing incidents of the late Indian war, and particularly those in which William had a real or imaginary part. Of the performance we cannot speak in a critical way, our education in Indian warfare having been largely and perhaps inexcusably neglected, but we are informed by connoisseurs, who are supported by the authorities we have consulted, that Buffalo Bill's encircling and graceful sweep about the crown of Yellow Hand was only exceeded in dexterity by the scientific twist with which he snatched bald-headed that luckless chief.
Opening with a scene in the Black Hills, and at last closting with the death of Yellow Hand and an allergerical tableaux, the play is a continuous succession of exciting scenes and situations, abundant with war whoops and burnt powder. The audience seems to enjoy it all immensely, and applauded everything.
A second and last performance will be given this evening, and it is safe to assume that those who want seals must attend early.
