It is ever with increased pleasure that we renew
our visits to this delightful and popular resort of
public amusement. Mr. Simpson plays for a high
stake ; he tries to outstrip all his competitors for
the favour of an intelligent public, and his efforts
are certainly crowned with remarkable suceess.
Independently of the various decorative im-
provements which have been made since last sea-
son, several entirely new and interesting features
contribute to render the attractions of Cremorne
more numerous than ever. Amongst these, we
may notice the elegant little theatre which has
been erected for the performances of the " Ma-
rionette troupe," formerly so well known and ap-
preciated at the Adelaide Gallery.. The introduc-
tory address, which is very well spoken, is pithy,
pointed and salient; and the singing is for the
most part all than can be desired. The pigmies
are all newly and elegantly dressed, and a grand
" pas de deux" is executed with wonderful grace
and precision. The performance of Bombastes
Furioso is also highly creditable to actors who,
" though wooden, are not sticks."
The equestrian performances in the Cirque con-
tinue to maintain their excellent reputation ; and
not only horses, but dogs, are now pressed into
the Service, and add another to the long catalogue
of wonders, presented to the notice of the public.
A. Frenchman has been engaged to exhibit some
of the cleverest canine performers we have ever
witnessed ; these animals are singularly intelligent,
and have evidently been trained with great care)
and address ; the master of them is a true speci-
men of national character, and personally contr-
butes very much to the fun of the exhibition. _
We must not omit to mention, among the novel.-

paintings by Mr. Jones, representingfoed the glory

are also very successful, and there is a sprightliness
and bonhommie about him which is highly pleasing.
The music of Signor Bosisio is in his usual felici-
tous style, and the performers do ample justice to
the composer.
In concluding these rematks we cannot refrain
from noticing the admirable order and decorum
which prevails in every part of this establishment,
of which the tone is rapidly improving every year.
