(id ed
..-alences w ose name was legion, but
to the firmament of its glory, and with
fresh flowers culled from the gardens of talent to adorn the
bouquet of its brightness ; not that its spring flowers have
lost their beauty, nor that its well-known stars have paled in
their respective constellations, but " Excelsior " is the motto
of the proprietors, and the Alhambra Palace, the Gem Am-
phitheatre of the World, having undergone a thorough reno-
vation and re-decoration, will open on Monday, November 8,
at 2 o'clock, p.m., with an array of talent which the Eques-
trian world is defied to equal. It shall be the constant study
of the Management to place before their patrons nothing but
what is without reproach and unapproachable,—so that the
most intellectual and refined may come with the full assur-
ance that in the refreshing originality of the animated varie-
ties given in this establishment, nothing will be allowed that
shall offend the most fastidious, or tint the cheek of modesty.
In this array of talent will be found Miss Rose Madigan,
Senora Delavanti, Mdlle. Mathilde, Mdlle. Gertrude, Mdlle.
Gahuses, Senora Mine y Pons, Senora Consciendo, Miss Hen-
rietta Laren, La Petite Emma, J. Murray, J. Holland,
Signor Delivanti and Family, Davis Richards, J. Myers,
J. Pentland, J. Madigan, the Roman Brothers, H. P. Madigan,
M. Myers, C. Madigan, S. Reynolds, Ferdinand R. Larkin, A.
Mintom, J. Rosston, D. Rice, M. Anable, the Tribe of Bedouin
Arabs, four clowns—Pentland, Myers, Ferdinand, and Jack-
son ;—also (just arrived from America) Lavater Lee and his
talented Family, and the vaunted rider of Fame's Loudest
Trumpet—William Omar, who stands the Alpha of all eques-
trians, so far superior, that the highest encomium that can
be passed upon any horseman of tke present day is, that he
stands second to none but young Omar.
The above Company comprises Sixty of the Best Performers
ever assembled together, all of whom will appear at the same
time in a Grand Trial of Skill, entitled The " 11RCU-
LANEUM," never before represented in England.
The stud of Cream and Spotted Steeds is large and fault-
less. The renowned Trick Horse Black Eagle, the Horse of
Beauty, and those wonderful hybrids the Educated Mules,
Pete and Barney, will be introduced at each exhibition. With

ance of the United States Circus in the metropolis.
