ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

The Buffalo Bill Combination began its
short season at the Academy last evening,
playing to a full house. The sensational
drama of "May Cody" combines all the
thrilling features which contribute to the
successsful frontier story, and was therefore
listened to with intense interest and applauded
to the echo. The appearance of the
celebrated scout, Buffalo Bill, (Hon. W. F.
Cody) was greeted with a perfect storm of
applause. He is the ideal picture of the
frontiersman, besides being a gentleman,
and gains the favor of the audience at once.
He plays his part in the drama with spirit
and a wholesome freedom from rant
which makes it an agreeable rendition.
Incidental to the play, the
celebrated Austin Brothers perform
their wonderful feats of marksmanship,
shooting objects from each others' heads,
snuffing candles, and firing from every possible
position, with truly marvelous skill.
Darby McCune (Mr. George C. Charles, the
comedian, and a very good one, too)
brings on his donkey, who performs some
highly amusing tricks. The company remain
the balance of the week, and give a
matinee on Saturday.
