10.--Madame Jenny Lind Goldschmidt appeared at a miscellaneous concert,
given at St. Andrew's Hall, Norwich, and on the 11th sang in Haydn's
oratorio, "The Creation." The other _artistes_ included Mr. Sims Reeves,
Signor Belletti, Mr. H. Blagrove (solo violin), Signor Patti (solo
violoncello), and Mr. Otto Goldschmidt (pianoforte). The chorus for the
oratorio was composed of members of the Cathedral choir and of the
Norwich Choral Society.
21.--Tom Sayers, "the pugilistic ex-champion," visited Norwich with his
circus, "exhibited his belts, medals, and the diamond ring presented to
him by the students of Oxford, and set-to with young Hicks, of
Birmingham." Heenan, the American pugilist, brought a circus to Norwich
on September 11th, and "apologised to the spectators for not sparring, as
the authorities had forbidden him, and it was only on giving this promise
that he was allowed to erect his tent on the Castle Hill." Mace's circus
visited the city on October 6th. "The spectators were disappointed at
the non-appearance of Mace, the magistrates having forbidden him to give
an illustration of his noble art."
