It will be taken as a favour, if the town, for that night,
will dispense with a farce; as the stage will be much
crouded with the artillery, boats, &c. necessary for the
representation of the piece; and with the men from both
corps, whose assistance the commanding officers are good
enough to indulge us with.
The doors to be open at four, and the play to begin exactly
at six o'clock.
No persons, on any account whatsoever, can possibly be
admitted behind the scenes.---Places in the boxes may be
