Founded on a most deservedly celebrated Ballad, in which the interesting Stages of that truly valuable animal, the Horse, were with so much feeling and propriety pourtrayed [sic] by the lamented and unequalled Mr. Charles Dibdin, sen. as a respectful tribute to whose memory it is with due deference offered to the Public. In the course of 21 interesting scenes will be introduced a real Horse Race, and real Fox Chace. The Pantomime written by Mr. T. Dibdin, and produced under the direction of Mr. Davis. A new song called the Pig faced Lady, by Mr. Jones, to conclude with (6th time) a new Scotch Melo-drama, called SIGISMORN, and the DANISH CHIEFTAIN.
