The circus performance took place in a field close to the River Dee on the 1 June 1893. The Queen recorded her impressions of the circus in her journal for that day, writing:
'The Circus belongs to a M^r Ginnett. The first item on the Programme I thought very pretty, a Quadrille ridden by 8 men & women in Spanish costumes. The clowns were very amusing & delighted the Children, & there were some very clever piebald donkeys. M^rs Ginnett, wife of the proprietor rode very well. All the horses seemed so well broken. There was a ring in the centre on which saw dust was strewn.'  RA VIC/MAIN/QVJ (W) 1 June 1893 (Princess Beatrice's copies)
