AMPHITHEATRE. ―Among the many excellent amusements which Mr. Astley has introduced this season at this Theatre, we know of none that are greater favourites with the Public than the comic burlesque of the Foxhunt promises to be. Although the Taylor riding to Brentford was an exhibition which afforded the greatest entertainment from its satire, grotesque appearance and performance, and the admirable training of the horse, yet we are much more entertained by this groupe of Taylors riding in pursuit of the fox. The reality of the fox and hounds divests us of every of its being a fiction, and therefore we receive the same entertainment as we should receive were we to be spectators of a parcel of taylors in an actual fox-chace[sic], and being exposed, as bad horsemen, to the danger of leaping over stiles, hedges, ditches, and five-barr’d gates.
