Extract of a letter from Richmond, Sept. 26. The
magnificent entertainment provided for his Danish Majesty at
Richmond Lodge on Saturday night last, made so splendid an
appearance, . . . [15 lines describing decoration of main
space with arch, statues, flowers, etc.] The artists who
performed this, were Messrs. Cipriani and Richards. The
great arch led into a very superb enclosed pavillion, in the
center of which was a dome, supported by eight columns,
wreathed with flowers, and ornamented with gold; from the
center the plan extended four ways, with apartments within
for a band of music, side-boards, &c. . .
