A CARD. The Monsieurs, Mynheers, Yankies and Dons, present
their compliments to the Mylords, and being desirous of
entertaining them in a manner suitable to their taste, are
happy in making them the following invitations:
Monsieur has the honour to invite them to a grand Concert on
the Water, when the power of music will be shewn in a manner
never heard of since the days of Timostheus and Alexander.
They hope it will be such as to make the Mylords acknowledge
his superiority in musical composition and performance.
Yankey intends to present them with a grand Fire-Work, to be
performed at London, or some other seaport-town in Great-
Britain or Ireland, but much superior to those which the
Mylord is pretended to exhibit in Norfolk, Kingston, New-
London, &c. &c. For the sake of those who are in this
country and cannot transport themselves over to England,
they will shortly be shewn a new Bear-Trap, wherein five
thousand of those obnoxious animals are to be caught at
once. This entertainment was already exhibited to them
about four years ago, and they were pleased to appear highly
satisfied with it. The present one is on a new plan, in
which friend Monsieur has had some share.
Mynheer and Don do not chuse as yet to let them know what
will be the nature of their entertainment, being desirous of
affording them the pleasure of surprise.
