Under the Immediate Direction of the Proprietors
Messrs. Rogers, Shay, Matteer & Jackson.
The Managers of this establishment in offering their unsurpassable list of Performances for the public patronage, assure those ladies and gentlemen who may honor them with their presence, that the strictest scrutiny is paid to the nature and character of the scenes selected for their amusement, and on no occasion whatever will ribaldry be used by the Clowns or Singers, nor shall any immodest act be exhibited by any member of the company that can offend the most delicate or sensitive ear; but everything shall be morally entertaining that heads of families may introduce their wives and children to witness those manly and agile feats by the various performers and the magnanimity and docility of the horse.
The scenes in the circle will combine Horsemanship, Vaulting, Tumbling, Air-diving, Pyramidical Devises, or animated Architecture, Juggling, Dancing, Singing, Posturing, Antipodean exercises, Grand Cavalry Manoevres, Balancing, Banjo Playing, &c. in all their various branches, and with all the effect a splendid wardrobe, appropriate Music, Proprietors, etc., can give.
The horses, for beauty and docility, are not surpassed by any in America.
The arena will be fitted up with every convenience and comfort; in the boxes, seats will be securely erected.
