NEW ENTERTAINMENTS.
The Nobility, Gentry, and others are most respectfully informed, that, on account of the uncommon demand for places, Mr. ASTLEY has engaged, for a few evenings longer, the whole of Mr. HANDY’s numerous Company, whose astonishing Exercises, assisted by two celebrated HORSEWOMEN, have given universal satisfaction.
This Troop, in addition to that of the Amphitheatre, will continue alternately to perform
SURPRISING EQUESTRIAN EXERCISES,

THE MISER REFORMED.

And a Comic Pantomime, called
HARLEQUIN’s ODDITIES, THE WONDER;
Or, THE DEVIL IN A BOTTLE.
