e Interesting Passases in the Life of
W . F . Cody---Col, Prentiss Ingraham, Dra-
mattst and Novelist- Buffalo Bill's forth-
coming New Border Drama.
The eight annual Visit of Buffalo Bill
(Hon . W . F . Cody ) and his dramatic combina-
tion to Baltimore, thus far, has been the
most successful and satisfactory that he has
ever made here. The entertainment given
by this remarkable man illustrates the ofter
asserted fact that truth is stranger than fic-
tion. The drama in which he has appeared
are simply the stringing toghter with skill-
full effect of the acyial scenes in which Mr.
Cody himeself has been the principal actor
and hero. He is really the only man on the
stage who given representation of himself.
The leading features of the well know
drama " May Cody" and the still better drama
"Knight of the Plains," now being perform-
ed at Ford's Opera House are made up of
actual occurences in the dangerous life led
by Mr. Cody, or " Buffalo Bill, " as scout,
guide and hunter on the great Northwestern
frontier. Mr. Cody's splendid figure, manly
and gentlemanly bearing and fine, frank
open countenance, is familiar to most every-
body here. He is the only true type of the
frontiersma, as we have been taught to re-
gard him by writters of travel an adventure.
