The Opera House Last Night.
There was a very small turn-out last night. The merits of the entertainment called lor a better crowd. The drama, "May Cody," was repeated with much acceptability, those on the boards going through their several parts with remarkable spirit considering that the seats were empty. The town was holding itself for the minstrels to-night, Buffalo Bill did some excellent shooting but his glass ball shooting was a failure, owing, he intimated, to the light. We bespeak for the company a better house when it comes again than it had last night.

Buffalo Bill was well patronized last evening, and have a very good performance. Of course the piece is characteristic of frontier life with a few romantic touches thrown in. The fine stalwart figure of Mr. Cody is the prominent feature, while the Indians add to the attractiveness of the piece. The party seems to have considerably improved since their last visit, and it was not difficult to pass a pleasant hour in witnessing the astonishing adventures portrayed.

The performance at Taylor Opera House last night of "May Cody, or Lost and Won," by Buffalo Bill and his combination of dramatic artists and Indians was a very fine one, and the audience, which was a large one, was well pleased. The acting was good and the play was highly sensational. The shooting by Buffalo Bill can hardly be beaten, and to see it, alone, was well worth the price of admission.
