For the benefit of the poor in Boston Alms-House. On
Thursday the 3d day of October next, at 3 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.--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 out 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.
