Resources	The Signs of the Times, 23 November 1850, 5 Royal Australian Equestrian Circus. — This new entertainment continues to increase in favour with the public, and it is evident from the good attendance, that it has more merit than the mere novelty of the performances. As we expected, the performers here improved by practice, and the interest of their several parts increased accordingly. After having the course toherself for several weeks, poor May Fairy has found that she has got a rival, and Black Bess promises to be as docile and clever a pupil as ever bowed to an audience. As she is not yet perfectly trained, being only in a transition state, some allowance must be made for her wishing to get up when she ought to remain down, &c. ; but all these little errors, must be ascribed to the unenlightened manner in which her youth was spent, and no doubt under the sedulous moral training of Messrs. La Rosiere, &c., she will soon learn to conduct herself like a wise and sensible animal The concluding pantomime of " The Invisible Cooper" is a good "lark," and the awful and unaccountable disappearance of one of those respectable tradesmen opened the eyes of the youngsters in amazement.
