Announcement: New-York Times, 08 May 1870, 5.

The Lancers is given with “new scenery, music, appointments and uniforms, and with a cast of unusual strength. The public have developed a strong taste for military plays of late, partly nursed into vigor by the capital performance of ‘Ours’ at this house, and we look to see the ‘Lancers’ received with great favor.”
