Ranelagh. At Ranelagh Garden, on Thursday next, being the
21st of July, will be performed, a concert of vocal and
instrumental music. The vocal parts by Mr. Woolls and Miss
Wainwright. After which will be exhibited, by the Italian
Brothers, a grand set of fire-works, divided into five acts,
. . . [28 lines of description of the five acts of fire-
works] Vivant Rex & Regina. The very extraordinary expence
that attends so large an exhibition of fire-works, together
with the usual charge of the orchestra, will, it is humbly
presum'd, be thought a sufficient reason for raising the
price of admission to three shillings for that evening. The
ladies and gentlemen who propose to sup at the Gardens, will
please to give Mr. Jones, notice of it in time, that rooms
may be kept, and proper provision prepared for their
entertainment. It is humbly requested that no persons will
throw squibs in the garden, at least, before the fire-works
are over; for, besides the terror they put the ladies in,
the evening's entertainment might be entirely spoiled by an
accident happening to one of the pieces.
