"Buffalo Bill." -- The performance of the "Knight of the Plains," [last?] evening, drew a fair sized audience. The play is decidedly sensational, and "for those who like that sort of a thing, it is the very act of a thing they'd like. We cannot recommend last night's performance as first class, though no doubt its points of merit will be brought out better when the actors become better acquainted with their parts. Part of the time the audience could not hear what was said, and the play "dragged" considerably as well. The scenery of the burning prairie and the stage robbery were very fine. Mr. Cody's fancy shooting and the Indian dance by the Burgees Brothers were also much appreciated. The former presents a fine stage appearance, but evidently was destined for another sphere of action. Some of the characters were well played, others but tamely. To-night the performance will be repeated.
