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 will 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 one o'clock.
N.B. No person to be admitted 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.
