57A (Vol. 2)

Transcription

The new Pantomime, called Harlequin in Ireland, which is to make its first appearance this evening, at the ROYAL SALOON, is the general conversation and admiration of our neighbours on the Surrey side of the River. It is said to be replete with excellent matter, dressed up in a style, new, elegant, pleasant and extraordinary, highly interesting to the mechanical part of mankind, and wonderfully entertaining to those unacquainted with the powers of that sublime art.—The Lakes of Killarney, Giant’s Causeway, and Cataract of Poola Joukla seem to have been executed in a masterly manner. The mechanism of the Flying Chariot displays infinitely more ingenuity than any machine of late discovery, and has a greater claim to a patent than any other thing of the kind; for its motion, which is rapid, is effected without the assistance of horses, wheels, wings, or inflammable air in its flight over Killarney’s vast and unmeasurable lakes.
