CREMoigNE GARDENS.
Cremorne has been extremely well attended through-
out the week. Attraction has followed upon attraction,
keeping pace with the increasing fineness of the weather.
Equestrianism is in
the ascendant. Mons. Louis
Souillier, and a highly talented troupe of artistes, occupy
the Pavilion at the King s-road entrance, which has
been newly and tastefully decorated throughout.
Amongst several performers of considerable European
fame the most noticeable are " the great
.American
phenomenon," Mr. M'Collum; Mdlle. Clementine, most
appropriately entitled " Queen of the Arena;". Albert
de Bach, "the professor of Haute-Equitation;" Franz de
Bach, an extraordinary ascensioniss; and Devani, the
most marvellous and preternatural contortionist we
have ever beheld. There is also a veritable juvenile
prodigy, Victor Souillier, who is even now second only,
if not equal, to Hernandez, and who bids fair, as he
ripens in age, to be the first rider in the
world, The stud is a remarkably fine one, and addi-
tional interest is created by the introduction of
that singular biped, the ostrich, in the arena. Accus•
tomed as the metropolitan public is to exhibitions of
this kind, the numerous and respectable spectators who
have patronised the Cirque Oriental during this its first
week, have been perfectly astonished as well as delighted
at the individual feats, and the collective excellence of
the amusements. A visit to Cremorne is altogether in-
complete without passing an hour in the Cirque Oriental.
In no respect has Mr. Simpson more strikingly dis-
played the taste and enterprise by wbich ho is distin-
guished than in adding the attractions of this circus to
the almost countless pleasures of the gardens; and we
feel confiuent
,that his spirit and liberality will be re-
warded by an. increasing and most ample measure of
public appreciation. Certainly no man deserves it better.
Last evening a very brilliant pyrotechnic fate was car-
ried out on the river with the assistance of the Citizen
Steam Company's boats, from which showers of rockets
were discharged, and vigorously replied to from the
Esplanade. The display of artificial meteors was
superb, and had Mr. Hind, who presents us with a new
planet at least once a quarter, been star gazing in the
neighbourhood, he would have seen four magnificent
asteroids hanging for some moments in the heavens
which might have led him to announce an astounding
astral discovery. Being, however, but the creation of
Chevalier Mortram, their bright existence was only
evanescent. The final discharge from the river side was
one of the most terrifically beautiful explosions that the
most ardent admirer of pyrotechnics could possibly de-
sire or conceive, and this portion of the entertainments
appeared to afford the utmost satisfaction to the immense
multitude assembled.
