LAST EVENING'S AMUSEMENTS.

Buffalo Bill at the Grand---The Adelphi---The Academy of Music.

BUFFALO BILL.

The Hon. W.F Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, presented his new drama, "Buffalo Bill's Pledge" at the Grand last evening to an immense audience, the parquette, dress circle and balcony all being comfortably crowded with an audience of ladies and gentlemen about equally divided as to sex. The new play is supposed to be drawn from personal incidents, adventures and encounters in the life of Cody himself, and the thrilling scenes are interspersed with the amusing dialogue of a German and a negro, which keeps the audience in a continnual good humor.

Frank Thompson's cornet solo was a very artistic one, and he promises to be one of the Wileys of the future. He received two hearty encores.

The Indians and the trick donkey also came in for a fair share of the applause, and, taken as a whole, the audience appeared to enjoy itself.
