EVENING AMUSEMENTS.
AS Mr. ASTLEY’s celebrated New Performances, at Westminster Bridge, draws near to a Conclusion, it is humbly requested the present Opportunity may not escape the Attention of the Ladies and Gentlemen. Perhaps such another Exhibition is not to be found in Europe. To the several Entertainments of the Riding-School is added, the Grand Temple of Minerva, acknowledged by all Ranks of People to be extremely beautiful.
The Curtain of the Temple to ascend at Five o’Clock, and descend at Six, at which Time the grand Display will be made in a capital Manner, consisting of Rope Vaulting on full Swing, with many new pleasing Additions of Horsemanship, both Serious and Comic ; various Feats of Activity and Comic Tumbling, the learned little Horse, the Roman Battle; Le Force d’Hercule, or The Egyptian Pyramids, an Entertainment never seen in England; with a Variety of other Performances extremely entercaining [sic].
The Doors to be opened at Five, and begin at Six o’Clock precisely. Admittance in the Gallery 2s, the Riding School 1s. A Price by no Means adequate to the Evening’s Diversion.
