"THEATRE ROYAL, bRIIRY-
sLANE. m—THIS
_ EVENING.—Mr. E. T. Sm ITU, Lesee, begs ephatically
knowledge the almost unparalleled support with which his en-
deaconra to resuscitate the national drama on the boards of old
Drury have been reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and dia-
crininsting audiences, who have nightly hailed the appearance of
34r. G. Y. Brooke in the varied Shaksperian and other illustrations
Of the national drama, which
emthaentt emofin Ment ac
Brooketor has hada
the honour
to demonstrate. The engaer. as matter of
necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope-
tations presents itself to the manager's enterprise, in catering for the
tastes and requirements of his patrons, the British public. In fur-
therance of these objects, Mr. Smith has infinite pleasure in an-
nouncing the engagement of a galaxy of

ever before assembled conjunctively, even in this, the Metropolis
f Nations. The classical development of the Ilippodramatic Art
will, by the combined excellence of the artists engaged, obtain a
triumph unmatched in the history of such performances. Not only
has no expense been spared, but, in making arrangements, a wise
discretion, the result of a deliberative council in science, has been
Observed in the selection of distinguished public favourites, as well as
meritorious candidates for London approbation. Earnestly but re-
spectfully soliciting a continuation of tnat support, which he grate-
jutly recdknises, he does himselt the honour of submitting the fol-
lowing programme, in confirmation of the integrity of his address
ad intentions:
Directors—HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE.
Madame Pauline Newsome, the first horsewoman in the world,
from Franconi's Cirque, Paris; Madlle. Newsome anti Madlle
principal Equestrians in all the American Amphitheatres ; Madlle.
Zamesou; Stoli es' American Wouders, Ella and Leon
dames Violette, Fontaine, Le Place, Guerriere, Fabian, and Lucille ;
the youthful Hernandez, who, for grace, a4ility, anti fearless
daring, is the very constellation in the hippodramatic hemi-
sphere; his feats are miraculous ; Eaton Stone, his year,per at this
ance in London since/ the great Exhibition, in which
theatre he made so wondrous a sensation—he confronts, in a mar-
vellous manner, the wild horse of the Prairies ; James Newsome
the most accomplished British horseman of the day, reflecting a
glory on the sports of old England ; the Brothers Elliott, in gym-
nastic exercises without rival; G. Ryland, Russell, Zamesou, and
Loraine, of marvellous notoriety ; Arthur Banns, the champion
vaulter of all the world, who has accomplished the unprecedented
feat of throwing 91 summersaults in succession, his first appearance
in London ; W. 0. Dale, the renowned American artiste; Tom Barry,
the deathless clown—his name and fame are enough; assisted most
ably by those established favourites, Doughty and Knight. The
Lessee moat respectfully submits that so rich a combination of talent
has never before smeared in London, nor in any Continental city
fortuitous but accidental circumstances have thrown them together
for a short season, but other American and European engagements
will prevent a continuance of the exalted scientific compact, after the
expiration of the present engagement.
