B. B. M.
BUFFALO BILL MAJORITY,

Have you read the returns? The Buffalo Bill Combination has been elected by the public as the strongest drawing attraction on the road this season, notwithstanding the political meetings and torchlight-processions encountered, which have been lost to view and forgotten by the crowds who have flocked to see us.

NINTH ANNUAL TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY SCOUT AND INDIAN TRAILER,
BUFFALO BILL (Hon. W. F. Cody),

Supported by his own magnificent STAR DRAMATIC COMBINATION. including

A TROPE OF CHEYENNE INDIANS, A FULL BAND AND ORCHESTRA, and the famous TRICK DONKEY JERRY. In his most powerful border drama, written by JOHN A. STEVENS, author of UNKNOWN, for W. F. CODY (Buffalo Bill), entitled THE PRAIRIE WALF; A STORY OF THE WEST. A success unparalleled in the history of amusements. The strongest drama, the greatest

P. S. Read what Mr. Collins, manager of Henck's Opera House. says in his letter to Mr. Cody, dated Oct. 18, 1880. It speaks for itself:

HON. W. F. CODY (Buffalo Bill)---DEAR SIR: Permit me on the eve of your departure to congratulate you on your successful week's business at the theatre: but it is no more than your deserve, as the play and company are first class in every particular. I don't believe there is another star in America that could have done as well. considering it was the worst week in the year, the Exposition having just closed, and a tremendous election excitement following. Notwithstanding all this you have played to overwhelming large houses, and yesterday you played to the largest number of people ever inside of this building in one day, the receipts of the two performances being $ 1, 375. Wishing you the continued success you so richly deserve, I hope to have the pleasure of playing you again at this theatre at whatever date you many appoint. In conclusion, outside of our business relations, permit me to say that I have ever found you an honorable gentleman as well as an artist, and what I consider the best drawing card on the American stage. Again wishing you every success in life, I remain.
yours respectfully, JAMES COLLINS, Manager Henck's Opera House.
