“Last evening, at the Bowery, Miss Kate Fisher, as Dick Turpin, and her well named ‘Wonder,’ [a horse] appeared in Rookwood, or Dick Turpin’s Ride to York. Mickey Warren afterwards danced his world renowned jig, with banjo accompaniment. Frank A. Gibbons then made, in the aerial act of a Leap for Life, a remarkable display of the nerve, self-possession, strength and agility which, after all, contribute in no small degree to the zest of those painfully interesting exhibitions, involving peril to limb and life. A Dutch comic song and the nautical drama of Ben the Boatswain composed the rest of the varied entertainments.”
