HON. W. F. CODY and part are at the Peabody.
Buffalo Bill will make some of his best shots to night in shooting apples from the head of Miss Lydia Denier.
The Hon. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) and his Indian aids were objects of curious attention around the Peabody Hotel last night.
Buffalo Bill tore up the town Friday evening with his brass band, wild Indians and trained donkey. Bill says"Jerry," the donkey, is the star of his troupe. Drl Bob Westmoreland acted as excort for the party around the city.
There is no dramatic star on the road that draws continually the packed houses that Buffalo Bill does. This speaks well for the man, his combinations and his dramas.
BUFFALO BILL'S donkey is one of the best trained and most really
intelligent-looking comedians we have ever seen.
"MAY CODY," by the Buffalo Bill combination, went off in spirited style last evening at Davis'. The house was a paying one.
A New Use for the Indians.
The Hon. W. F. Cody, better known to fame under his earlier title of Buffalo Bill, has introduced four genuine Indians into the combination of which he is the head, and it is not improbable that they and their race may yet take a leading part in the great work of the elevation of the drama, "Knights of the Plains," written by Col. Prentis Ingraham, who has, probably no equal in dramatic delineations of frontier life.

Buffalo Bill.
As will be seen by reference to our advertising columns, the dramatic troupe of which Hon. W. F. Cody, or Buffalo Cill, as his is most generally known, is the chief central figure, will put in an appearance at the Opera House in this city ont he evening of Thursday, the 22nd [inst?]., in a play representing border life, entitled the "Knight of the Plains." The drama was written expressly for Mr. Cody by Col. Prentiss Ingraham, and is full of startling situations and thrilling tableaux. Those who remember the fine physique and splendid personal appearance, as well as the good acting, of Buffalo Bill will be glad to great him with a cordial welcome on his approaching visit to our city.
Dramatic.
Despite the weather's inclemency, the theatre last night drew a full house, and the audience was an enthusiastic one. Buffalo Bill never met a heartier reception anywhere, and he evidently appreciates the compliment. A number of savages, fresh from the plains, but tamed into a taste for, as well as a desire to enjoy, civilized life, participated with the Hon. W. F. Cody in his illustration of life in the far western wilds. The drama of "A Knight of the Plains" is well drawn and affords scope for an accurate portrayal of border life. Mr. Cody is as good an acotr as he has been a good guide and scout for the United States Army, when it operated under Crook, Custer, Miles and others, against the braves of Sitting Bull, and he dipicts the actual scenes and events of his career with a realism that invests his parts with more than ordinary interest. He is supported by an excellent troupe, and his engagement is certain to be highly successful. The Knight of the Plains will be repeated this evening and a matinee will be given to-morrow afternoon, the company closing to-morrow night.
The theatre was crowded last night, with a large, appreciartive audience, to witness the performance of the thrilling drama entitled "Knight of the Plains," as presented by the Buffalo Bill Combination. In this drama much of the character of life on the plains and among the Indians is given, and the exciting nature of that life is full of interest. | Page 22BUFFALO BILL weighs 218 pounds.
