[London] Among the sundry fashionable routs or clubs that
are held in town, that of the black or Negro servants is not
the least:  On Thursday night no less than 59 of them, men
and women, supped, drank, and entertained themselves with
dancing and music; consisting of violins, French-horns, and
other instruments, at a public-house in Southwark.  No
whites were allowed to be present, for all the performers
were blacks.
