At the French Academy, in Lodge-Alley, At the particular
request of a number of ladies and gentlemen, will be danced
a second time, on Saturday the 27th instant, by five and
twenty scholars of the said Academy, a Ballet representing
the Return of Peace, and the Coronation of the Success of
America.
Those who perform will be uniformly in shepherd dress, and
execute one hundred and forty different figures.
There will be also decorations and transparent scenes
emblematic of the occasion, with an addition of figures and
the scenery.
The doors will be opened at four o'clock, and the ballet
will begin precisely at seven.
The company will be permitted to dance both before and after
the performance.
To prevent confusion there will be but a certain number of
tickets, and no money taken at the door.
