THEATRE ROYAL, DRERY-LANE.—THIS
EVENING.—Mr. E. T. SMITH, Lesse‘?, begs emphatically
to acknowledge the almost unparallel d surtpr)rt with which bisTen-
des.vonrs to resuscitate the national drama on the boards Gf old
Drury haVe been reciprocated by the overflow of admiring and dis-
criminating audiences, who have nightly hailed the appearance of
Mr. G. V. Brooke in the varied Shaksperian and other illustrations
of the national drains, which that eminent actor has had the honour
to demonstrate. The engagement of Mr. Brooke as a matter of
necessity has expired, and another and very different field of ope-
rations 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
EQUESTRIAN TALENT. _ _

never tefore assembled conjunctively, even in this, the Metropolis
of 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 s liciting a continuation of teat support, which he grate-
fully recognises, he does himself the honour of submitting the fa:-
lowitt4 programs e, in confirmation of the integrity of his aidress
and intentions:

Directors—IIERNANDEZ and EATON STONE.

the youthful Hernandez, who, for vacs. a4ility, and fearless
daring, is the very constellation in the 114),)odramatic head
s:, t are ; his feats me miraculous ; Eaton Stone, his first appear-
ance in London since th, great Exlimition, in widen year, at this

ably by those established favourites, Doughty and Knight. Th:
Lessee most respestfully submits that so rich a combination of talent
has never refore appeared in London, nor in any Continental city;
fortuitous but accidental circumstances have thrown them together

will prevent a continuance of the exalted scientidc compact, after the
expiration of the present engagement.

himself with the animal, springing from his back to the ground, and
back again, jump for jump, over six elevated Planks, and tarough
various Balloons, situated around the Circle. The performance of
this Artist is quite unique, and unapproached by any other person—
they are altogether so much out of tne usual course of the CI, cie,
