Buffalo Bill.

The audience which assembled to
honor to the shooting of Buffalo Bill
last night, was a large one, but the
absence of the bon ton element was
noticeable. "Prairie Waif" is a waif in
that the name implies, for which [le?]
generous public be thankful. There [?]
no more like it. Mr. Cody gives life
the piece by his presence alone. It is not
often that the public can see a great hero
interpreting his own character, and for
this reason the audience was enthusiast.
The plot and incidents are tame, unless
it is where an Indian gets shot or stabbed
and were it not for the second act which
borders a little on the "Davey Crocket"
style, the play would lack merit. The
second act is one of the best stage setting
that has ever been seen here, and represents
a charming backwoods retreat.
The absence of Indians in this act is a
great relief. As if to atone for other affects
the "Sadie" and "Onita" of the piece
were played by good looking
women; and the orchestra was good.
