siam ChariOt, Drawn by Thirty
Horses! sssS. sars fs.- sssyssla i s.
This gorgeous chariot, from the manufactory
of J. Stephenson & Co, 9th street New York,
has just been completed. For its graceful pro-
portions, exquisite workmanship, and brilliant
emblazonry, it has never been equal1ed, either
in ancient or modern times. It is said to be FASH
ioned after the1nedel of the Imperial Chafiots Of
Persia during the reign of Cyrus the Great
s T he sides of the Chariot are divided into six
pannels, separated by richly gildcd scroll work
in thes syle offLouis xiv The scroll work is
bordered by beautiful frill mouldering, and runs
along the top as well as the bottom of the Chariot
The seat of the chariot is covered with rich
hammer cloth Of purple velvet, trialmed with
deep silver fringe, pendant from border of blue
and yellow velvet, the whole decorated with ea-
gles equestrian figures, stars and flowers, wrought
borne along between the expanded wings of two
mighty dragons, apparently of massive gold, which
crouch above the fore wheels of the chariot.
The artists who designed this srperb production
have displayed refinement of taste most cor
rect, delicate, and chaste, combined with genius
fer invention and improvement of the very high
est order. And the proprietors, with total dis
regard for expense, have displayed a most prince
ly munifcence in producing this matchless spec
linen of the superiority and excellence of Amer
lean skill, genius and enterprize. =
The Perfor nance, &c.
A very brief description of the names and po-
siton of those nonparcils of professional skill
may be needful to the public who wish to under
stand their proper standing and pretensions.
The EQUESTRIAN MANAGER, to whom is intrus-
ted the arrangement and order of the scenes acts,
professional pageants, and general cavalcade, is
Mr.. J. J. Nathans, of the highest celebrity as
a superior two and four horse rider. This gen
tleman's style is manly, energetic, and masterly.
In his scene of Centaur and infant Achilles, he
is assisted by Frank Pastor, most interesting
and gifted child
This infant artistwill appear on hisfying cour-
ser in an. act entitled Nimrod Junior, in which
he will justify the remarks ofthe press that for
grace beauty, and courage, he is the most wonder
full child in the world. . -ss. -.

Youthful Richard Rivers, whose professional
path has literally been strewn with garlands,
medals and tokens of appreciation, stands confess
edly forth as a model of excellence in the fore
most class of sequestrianism. He executes a va
riety of tricks such as have never before been at
tempted on single horse. He clears objects the
most eleyated as fast as they can be raised be-
fore him. and the next moment casts a somerset
