Buffalo Bill. Colonel Prentiss Ingraham's new play, written for Buffalo Bill, was submitted at the Opera House, last evening, to public criticism for the second time. It is essentially a drama of the plains, in its salient features resembling those with which theater-goers are familiar, yet far above the average in plot, in situations and in dialogue. These merits were brought out by a company of more than the excellence ordinarily found in performances of this particular character. Last evening "The Knight of the Plains," as it is called, was presented with special scenery, good costuming, and a spice of reality was added by the introduction in the opening act of a troupe of Pawnee and Nez Perce Indians with their interpreters. The galleries were crowded, as might have been anticipated; but for that matter, so were the dress and parquette circles–an indication that either Buffalo Bill himself or the Indian drama has a fascination for adults as well as the youthful portion of the community.

Buffalo Bill had a full house on Friday evening. The play and the acting were ordinary, but everybody wanted to see Buffalo Bill and the Indians, and were willing to pay for it.
