chimney sweeper; fortune of war, and charms of peace;
prodigies; elopement; and physical account of snoring.
Part the second. History of the human mind; honour;

Part the third. Feathers of the turf; race week; a fool;

Tickets, at half a dollar each, to be had of Hugh James,

Alley. --To begin at seven o'clock.
After the exhibition, ladies and gentlemen who may choose
to dance, the musick will attend them for that purpose.
Mr. Wall begs leave to assure the public, that, as his
sole design in this exhibition, is to present them with a
new evening's entertainment, no party, sect, or denomination
whatsoever is aimed at; folly is ridiculed, vice exposed,
and virtue applauded; and he flatters himself, that those
ladies and gentlemen, who may honour him with their company,
will find an entertainment, not altogether unworthy their
notice.
