For the benefit of the Poor in Boston Alms-House. On
Thursday 3d October, at three o'clock, P.M. at Trinity-
Church, will be performed, Sacred Music. Being a collection
from Williams, Stephenson, Billings, and others. Also, an
interlude on the organ between each vocal piece, by Mr.
Bellsted. -- The vocal music to be performed by the
Aretinian Society.--
[hand pointing right] Tickets to be had for four shillings
each, at Mr. Enoch Pond's, School-Master, near the old Hay-
Market, at Mr. Billings's, near the White-Horse, at Mr.
Bowes's, near the State-House, and of the Overseers.
Doors to be opened at 1 o'clock.
N.B. No person to be admitted with- without a ticket.
The very distressed circumstances of the poor in the
Alms-House have excited the compassion of the above-named
Society, and led them again to propose a musical
entertainment for their relief.
The encouragement given on a former occasion, the low
price of the tickets, and the well known humanity of the
inhabitants of this town, afford sufficient ground to hope
for an extensive sale and a full house.
The overseers however flatter themselves, that the
frequent occasions of applying to the benevolence of their
fellow-citizens on behalf of the unhappy persons under their
care will, in future be removed by a more punctual and
competent supply of the treasury.
