The audience which greeted Buffalo Bill last evening in the opera house, must have delighted his eyes - it was so large. The performance gave the audience a great deal to laugh at, though it wasn't near so full of killing of red skins and white ruffins as were Bill's previous plays. He makes the most astonishing escapes from instant death, as before - for when he is in a tight place, and the villains can kill him as well as not, they stay their hands until he can get out of the way, when they cry shoot him, and so fire after he is safe. Not so does the hero serve them - when he gets a chance to spoil their vision, he does it as quick as wink. There was some good acting by the leading members, the heroine, and Pat and Hans. It is a thrilling play.
