ASTLEY’S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—
Lessee and Manager, Mr. W. COOKE.
Brilliant Career of the New Spectacle. The extraordinary and novel feats of the horses. Passage through the Burning Wood. The leap through fire, and the Terrific Spring of the Amakosa’s steed from the fearful heights of the Umtata, continue to nightly receive with increased astonishment and enthusiastic approbation. The training of the hoses for these astounding feats have occupied Mr. W. Cooke’s unremitting attention for months past. On Monday, April 18, 1853, and during the week, the performance will commence with the magnificent Spectacle of AMAKOSA; or, Scenes of Kaffir Warfare, with new and beautiful scenic and interesting dramatic and astonishing equestrian effects. To be followed by a most novel and brilliant routine of gymnastic and equestrian achievements in the SCENES OF THE ARENA, supported by the most eminent British and Continental Artistes of the day. To conclude with a popular Farce. Stage Manager, Mr. W. West.
