"Buffalo Bill."-There are hundreds of people in Toledo who consider Hon W.F. Cody-"Buffalo Bill" a far greater man than Gen. Grant, Gen. Garfield or Gen. Hancock, and all those people will be at the Opera House to-night, as high up as they can climb. There are hundreds of others who, while they do not regard Buffalo William as "a little tin god on wheels," have a high opinion of his bravery and skill as a scout, hunter and fighter, and appreciate his ability as an actor. All these will be at wheelers to-night also, only lower down in the house. There are many others who will be drawn to the scene of action simply by a desire to witness Bill's wonderful dexterity with the rifle. Altogether the house will be packed as only "Buffalo Bill" can pack it. The company is a strong one, and includes a band of genuine Indians.

The Milqaukee News says: "The company that Buffalo Bill has gotten together this year, his ninth season, is by all odds, the best he ever started out with. The border drama, 'The Prairie Waif,' was presented with a fine cast, lots of powder, plenty of live Indians, and a score of life real blood lettings. The plot of the drama is simple, yet very fascinating. [word?], a lovely little prairie blossom is torn from her parents by the blood thirsty red skins, discovered 10 years later by Buffalo Bill and after innumerable hand to hand skirmishes and thrilling escapades is delivered to her father by Bill, who in the meantime has wou her love. The drama was written especially for him by Mr. John A. Stevens, and is one of the best of that kind of lurid, Western blood and thunder dramas we have seen for some time. Buffalo Bill, of course, was the central figure and deservedly obtained the recognition of the large audience present. His sharp-shooting was very good, and his acting was vigorous and realistic."
