169BUFFALO BILL. He Draws a Crowded House and Satisfies Everybody. The announcement that such illustrious and world-renowned personages as Buffalo Bill and Captain Jack would appear in our city was sufficient to draw an immense audience to Dietz Hall last evening. The audience was indeed immense, the dress circle being crowded with the elite of Oakland, who having heard of these scouts, wished to see them portray in a few hours, the experience of their border life. The balcony was completely crammed, mostly by the younger portion of our population. who, having had their heads turned by yellow-covered literature, and with innumerable ideas of scalp-hunters and their trials in hunting Indians, showed that they appreciated the famous gentlemen, by the long continued applause with which they greeted them every time they came on the stage. The support was excellent, all filling their roles in splendid style. Miss Granville, as a "true-hearted Italian girl from Cork," and W. Simms as a Peace Commissioner, were unusually good, and elicited rounds of applause. Altogether "Life on the Border" was a splendid success, and was well received by the audience. | 169BUFFALO BILL.
