THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.-THIS
EVENING.—Mr. E. T. SMITH, Lessee, begs emphatically
Iknowledge the almost unparalleled support with which his en-
deavours to resuscitate the national drama on the boards of 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 drama, 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.
ever before assembled conjunctively, even in this, the Metropolis
f Nations. The classical development of the Hippodramatic 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 that support, which he grate-
fully recognises, he does himself the honour of submitting the fol-
lowing programme, in confirmation of the integrity of his address
ad intentions :
Directors—HERNANDEZ and EATON STONE.
3faclasse Pauline Newsome, the first horsewoman in the world,
from Fraaconi's Cirque, Paris ; Madlle. Newsome and Madlle. Ella,
principal Equestrians in all the American Amphitheatres ; Madlle.
Zamesou; Stokes' American Wonders, Ella and Leon; Mes-
dames Violette, Fontaine, Le Place, Guerriere, Fabian, and Lucille ;
the youthful Hernandez, who, for grace, agility, and fearless
daring, is the very constellation in the hippodramatic hemi-
sphere ; his feats are miraculous ; Eaton Stone, his first appear-
ance in London since the great Exhibition, in which year, at this
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 Barnes, 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 most respectfully submits that so rich a combination of talent
has never before appeared 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.

they are altogether so much out of the usual course of the Circle,
