"BUFFALO BILL" attracted to the Howard Opera House, last evening, a fair-sized and highly enthusiastic audience. The play-"The Prairie Waif"-is of the good old melodramatic kind, abounding in thrilling situations and effective tableaux. "Buffalo Bill" is as fine a specimen of manhood as we have ever seen, and as far as physical beauty goes would adorn any stage. His rifle-shooting is something really remarkable and well deserved the enthusiastic applause it received. Miss Fletcher is a good actress and the same can be said of Miss Thompson; and Mr. Keen, Mr. Charles and the other members of the company did very well in the parts assigned them. The audience was immensely pleased and the applause was almost continuous.
