A Card. The Monsieurs, Mynheers, Yankies and Dons, present
their compliments to the Mylords, and being desirous of
entertaining them in a manner suitable to their taste, are
happy in making them the following invitations:
Monsieur has the honour to invite them to a grand concert
on the water, when the power of music will be shewn in a
manner never heard of since the days of Timonheus and
Alexander. They hope it will be such as to make the Mylords
acknowledge his superiority in musical composition and
performance.
Yankey intends to present them with a great firework, to
be performed at London or some other great seaport town in
Great Britain or Ireland, but much superior to those which
the Mylords pretended to exhibit at Norfolk, Kingston, New-
London, &c. &c. For the sake of those who are in this
country and cannot transport themselves over to England,
they will shortly be shewn a new bear trap wherein five
thousand of those obnoxious animals are to be caught at
once. This entertainment was already exhibited to them
about four years ago, and they were pleased to appear highly
satisfied with it. The present is on a new plan, in which
friend Monsieur has had some share.
Mynheer and Don do not chuse as yet to let them know what
will be the nature of their entertainment, being desirous of
affording them the pleasure of surprize.
