Review: New York Herald, 14 September 1869, 3.

“The mere announcement that those daring trapezists, the Rizarelli Brothers, would appear in a new serial breakneck act was sufficient to crowd the great wigwam last night from parquet to gallery. As per the programme the brothers did appear; but their performance was rather unexpectedly brought to abrupt termination by the elder brother miscalculating the distance between the bars of the trapeze and dropping like a chunk of beef into the net which had been judiciously spread beneath the performers to guard against the possibility of an accident… the gymnast was unhurt.”

On the lengths and expense the managers of the Tammany have gone to secure advertising on the fence at a new construction site.
