Low's Opera House.
There was another large audience at this theatre last night to witness the closing performance of Buffalo Bill Combination. The play was "May Cody, or Lost and Won," in which Mr. Cody and his band of Indian furnished amusement for two hours. Buffalo Bill's exhibition of his marvellous skill with the rifle, which has earned him the title of "crack shot" of the plains, was a new feature and was much appreciated.

--HOWARD ATHENAEUM.--The theatrical boom struck the Howard last evening with full force, and at 8 o'clock the seats were all sold, and standing room even was at a premium, scores of patrons crowding in, even though they could scracely get a sight of the stage. The performance opened with the roaring farce, "Turn Him Out," in which the parts were taken be Alf Beverly, Harry Melmer, J.J. Louden, Lydia Denier, Nelie Jones and Harry Irving. The grand attraction of the evening, however, was the presentation of the melodrama, "Knight of the Plains," in which the famous Buffalo Bill assumed the loading part. The drama is thrilling and full of strong situationsm, but displays less of the old "blood and thunder" material than is common in such productions. Buffalo Bill played his part magnificently and in a manner gratifying, superior to those who present imitations, while he offers the realities of we tern life. The company supporting was quite good, and the band of genuine Indians created a genuine surprise.

Buffalo Bill Last Night.
W will not pretend to criticise when there were seven hundred and thirty dollars in the house, and all seemed pleased, and the pincipals were greeted with vociferous applause. People judge temporarily better than a critic. He makes himself in this instance merely a scribe and repeats what occurred, regardless of literary merit or artistic skill. First there was a "roaring farce," "Put Him Out," which was greeted throughout with wildest laughter.
