The ball at the Queen's palace, on Monday Night was opened
about nine o'clock by the King of Denmark and the Queen;
after which his British Majesty danced a minuet with the
Dutchess of Ancaster; country dances then commenced; and
about eleven their Majesties and the nobility withdrew to
partake of the elegant entertainment provided: Soon after
twelve country dances re-commenced, and were continued till
half an hour past four in the morning; when the King of
Denmark withdrew, as did their Majesties and nobility.
Co. Brudenell was master of the ceremonies at the above
grand ball and entertainment.
Nothing can exceed the royal entertainment that evening,
either in the company present, provision, order and decorum;
every minute article plainly discovered its magnificence,
with that true grandeur which always accompanies politeness,
and every amiable virtue. . . [8 lines]
A morning paper says, a certain great Personage, K--- of
D--- having asked another great personage for his permission
to give a masquerade, was answered, "I have no objection,
but how will you satisfy our Bishops?" To which he replied,
"Sir, I will send them all tickets."
