The following handbill shows that at some period of their stay they went to see Powell's Marionettes. 'At PUNCH'S Theatre For the Entertainment of the FOUR INDIAN KINGS, viz. (A) The Emperor _Tee Yee Neen Ho Ga Row_. (B) King _Sa Ga Yeau Qua Rah Tow_. (C) King _E Tow oh Koam_. (D) King _Oh Nee Yeath Tow no Riow_. 'At the Upper End of _St. Martin's Lane_,[366] joyning to _Litchfield Street_, will be presented a NEW OPERA, performed by a Company of _Artificial Actors_, who will _present you_ with an _incomparable Entertainment_ call'd 'The Last Years CAMPAIGNE [Footnote 366: This was before Powell removed to the Piazza, Covent Garden.] With the Famous Battle fought between the Confederate Army (commanded by the Duke of _Marlborough_) and the _French_ in the _Woods_ near _Blaguiers_. With _several Comical entertainments of_ Punch _in the_ Camp. Also _variety of_ Scenes; _with a most Glorious Prospect of both Armies, the French in their Entrenchments, and the Confederates out_; _where will be seen several Regiments of Horse and Foot engaged in Forcing the_ French _Lines_. _With the Admirable Entertainments of a Girl of Five Years Old Dancing with Swords._' The 50th _Spectator_ gives an amusing account of their supposed description of this country. CHAPTER XXII. ROUGH SPORTS. Bear-baiting -- Bear-gardens -- Bull-baiting -- Description -- Extra ordinary bull bait -- Cock-fighting -- Cock-pits -- Value of matches -- Training. But all amusements at this time were not so innocent as the foregoing: there were fiercer and more blood-stirring excitements for the men. Take bear and bull baiting. The former was dying out, and was no longer as popular as it was during the reigns of Elizabeth, James I., and Charles I. _Slender._[367] Why do your dogs bark so? be there bears i' the town? [Footnote 367: _Merry Wives of Windsor_, Act. 1. sc. 1.] _Anne._ I think there are, Sir; I have heard them talked of. _Slender._ I love the sport well; but I shall as soon quarrel at it as any man in England. You are afraid, if you see the bear loose, are you not? _Anne._ Ay, indeed, Sir. _Slender._ That's meat and drink to me now: I have seen Sakerson[368] loose twenty times, and have taken him by the chain; but, I warrant you the women have so cried and shriek'd at it, that it pass'd; but women, indeed, cannot abide 'em; they are very ill-favoured rough things. [Footnote 368: This bear belonged to Henslow and Alleyn, proprietors of Paris Garden, near the Globe Theatre, Bankside.] We learn something of a bear-baiting from Hudibras.
