London, August 6. On Saturday morning Mr. Astley, Riding
Master at Westminster Bridge, performed his surprising feats
of horsemanship in the King's Riding House. This piece of
activity is brought to great perfection. Odd as it may
appear to our readers, but it is certainly fact, that one of
Mr. Astley's horses dances a polite minuet on his hind legs,
and will, at his command, fetch the bridle and saddle out of
the stable, in order to have it put on his back.
