treated with crowded opened last night to the use audience. It is hardly neccessary at length either the player or play. Suffer it to say the hero to a great reception, and the stilling exelting incidents of the border drama awoke the wildest enthusiasm among the auditors. The company Mr. Cody brings with him is better than he has had here before, the star himself shows a marked improvement in his acting. During the play, he gave a number of fancy shots with the rifle. The play is finely mount. The same bill will be repeated tonight, the drama being preceded by the faree "Turn Him Out"

At the Grand Opera House, the new bordet drama, "May Cody, or Lost and Won" bears some resemblance to the Danites, but has decided merit of his own. The war dance of the Pawnees is a correct representation of the real dance of that tribe, and is one of the best things in the play. The thrilling sense of the Mountain Meadow massacre is ennacted with striking effect. Buffalo Bill appears in his own propercharacter and under his own name and performs some wodnerful beats of marksmanship with his rifle. he shoots with accuracy while standing, sitting lying and stooping, backward and forward, taking aim from a looking glass, knocking an apple from the head of a young lady, and brushing the ashes from a cigar in the mouth of a man. The Irishnian and his donkey form an amusing feature of the menagerie, and the star who takes the part of a grizzly bear makes an excellent brain.

Tis not to be wondered at, then, that the placard "Standing room only" is displayed nightly in the vestibule of the California.

The California stage was a curious sight last evening with Indians in full Sioux costumes, horses emigrant wagons, a mule and all the etceteras of the plains. The auditorium was a curious sight too, for the orchestra and dress circle were full, the balcony had no standing room and the gallery was packd with an eager crowd, whose laudits when Buffalo Bill appeared were ear splitting. The fashionable world was well represented, and the engagement opened most prosperous in all respects.

What would not Frank Mayo give for this genuine frontier accent which hangs upon the lips of Buffalo Bill, and will not away. He is a big handsome young fellow, and has many accomplishments. He can snap a whip in such a way that everyone jumps and thinks an Alcatraz cannon has gone off. He handles a bowie knife like a Corsican. A heavy revolver is simply a gleaming toy in his hands, and he swings a rifle around
