CHAPPELL--PIKE.

This was a very large show, without any show-cloths or other

announcement outside to intimate the performances, except a clown and

several male and female performers, who strutted the platform in their

exhibiting dresses, and in dignified silence; but the clown grimaced,

and, assisted by others, bawled “Only a penny,” till the place filled,

and then the show commenced. There was slack-rope dancing, tumbling, and

other representations as at Ball’s theatre, but better executed.
