Buffalo Bill and his party occupied the boards on Friday and Saturday evenings and had good houses, as they always do. Cody poses well, and his handsome face and figure give him the sympathy of the feminine portion of his audience, at least, from the start, while the impersonation of aught that has the flavor of the frontier about it is sure to meet with vociferous applause from the gods.

"BUFFALO BILL'S PRAIRIE WAIF."
Of course, the Academy of Music last evening was packed to overflowing with an audience very enthusiastic and demonstrative. The entertainment consisted of Mr. Cody's latest border drama "Prairie Waif," and it may be truly said the play is the best of its class ever presented here. It is not all of the blood-and-thunder sort--indeed it contains many touching and pathetic parts, and throughout it all was the moral that good is rewarded and wickedness punished. The Sioux Indians are of the genuine stripe and sufficiently repulsive to charm the most devout admirer of Lo. Mr. Cody's artistic and brilliant rifle shooting won round after round of applause.
Last evening the Buffalo Bill company drew 1,350 people to the Academy of Music and took $875 in cash.
