Buffalo Bill To-Night.

Hon. Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) and
troupe give their first of two entertainments
in this city at the Opera House
to-night. Speaking of their appearance
in Buffalo on Wednesday evening the
Courier says,

St. James Hall last evening held an
audience in size seldom equalled since
the Centennial Exhibition and the hard
times conspired against amusement
managers. Every part of the hall was
filled, with standing room even at a premium.
The reader will perhaps not be
slow in rightly surmising that this large
gathering was in respect to Hon. William
F. Cody, more familiar known as Buffalo
Bill, who improves his hours of
leisure from the healthful pastime of
the war path by mounting the Thespian
stage and from thence instructing the
interested public in the benign policy
pursued with such signed success by our
government toward the copper colored
children of the west. Buffalo Bill's identification
of the west. Buffalo Bill's identification
with the campaign immediately
following the massacre of Custer and
his command has brought him into
greater prominence than ever, and last
evening the audience was ready to greet
with thundering acclamations the caller
of the unlucky Yellow Hand.

Mr. Cody is supported by quite a
numerous company, with "Captain Jack
Crawford, the Poet Scout of the Black
Hills," and "leading man."

Opening with a scene in the Black
Hills, and last closing with the death
of Yellow Hand and an allegorized tableaux,
the play is a continuous succession
of exciting scenes and situations,
abundant with war whoops and burnt
powder. The audience seemed to enjoy
it all immensely, and applauded everything.
