Announcement: New-York Times, 20 April 1868, 4.

“Amusements. Theatrical…The season at Mr. Lent's superior equestrian establishment, the New York Circus, comes to an end with the present week. Several interesting additions are to be made to the programme during the closing performances, and the farewell entertainments of 1867 and '8 are likely to be both brilliant and original.”
