Mr. ASTLEY most respectfully informs the Nobility, Gentry, and others, that the present winter amusements at the Amphitheatre Riding-school, Westminster-bridge, London, will end in a short time; on which account the present exhibition, which has been honored with general approbation and applause, will be continued ever evening next week. Particularly Mr. Astley’s new invention to be exhibited by Master Astley, a youth only 14 years of age, who will go through a great variety of manly exercises, &c. On the common saddle on a good gallop; during which performance the Horse is ever way obedient, and in part proves any horse may, if exercised conformable to Mr. Astley’s new invention, be taught to stand fire the recoil of small ordnance when fired from a horse’s back, and all objects on the road, as it infinitely does away that kind of fear most horses are subject to, particularly the explosion of small arms and ordnances.—The Dromedary from Grand Cairo, and last from the Strand, will be rode by Mr. Miller, clown to the horsemanship.
