A concert of music, vocal and instrumental, to begin
precisely at six o'clock in the evening, on Thursday, the
fifth of December. The concert will consist of two acts,
commencing and ending with favorite overtures, performed by
a full band of music, with trumpets, kettle drums, and every
other instrument which can be introduced with propriety. The
performance will be interspersed with the most pleasing and
select pieces composed by approved authors; a solo will be
played on the German flute, by John McLean, and the whole
will conclude with an overture, composed (for the occasion)
by Phillip Roth, master of the band, belonging to his
Majesty's Royal Regiment of North British Fusileers. Several
gentlemen, who wish to encourage and reward merit, have
suggested this public amusement and have designed to honor
with their protection the portion for whose benefit it is
intended; one instance of their condescending goodness he
will ever gratefully acknowledge, in consenting it should be
known, they have been pleased to offer their assistance in
the performance which every possible means will be used to
tender agreeable and entertaining to the company, for whose
further satisfaction it is also proposed, that after the
concert there should be a ball; on this account the music
will begin early;and as soon as the 2d act is finished, the
useful arrangement will be made for dancing. N.B. The
tickets for the concert may be had at the different print-
offices in this city, at the bar of the Coffee-House, and at
Messeurs Duff and Jacob's Taverns, in Second and Third-
streets, price 7s6.
