BUFFALO BILL-This actor, with his troupe, will appear at Tucker Hall to-morrow evening. Of him and his performance the Baltimore Bulletin says:
"A large audience was present at Ford's Opera House to witness the first appearance fo the new Buffalo Bill Combination. The upper floors were crowded and the parquet and boxes were filled. The drama, "May Cody, or Lost and Won," is one of unusual interest, which was thoroughly demonstrated from the fact that the entire large audience remained seated up to the close of the performance. The wild Indians and their interpreters are a novel feature, and were liberally applauded in their several dances and wonderful archery, hitting objects with as much accuracy, with the bow and arrow as the best marksman with the rifle. Buffalo Bill also gave a specimen of his expertness with the rifle, holding the gun in every conceivable position, and indelibly convinced all of the fact that he certainly is unrivaled, if equalled. The performance is all that it purports to be, and is a very vivid portraiture of life on the plains. Of course, Buffalo Bill is the omnipresent hero, who always appears at the opportune moment to rescue the heroine, but he is dashing natural, and a very fair actor, the situation are pleasing enough, and the audience applauded them even into hoarseness.
