We hear, from Hanover County, that on Tuesday next, (being
St. Andrews Day, ) some merry-dispos'd gentlemen of the said
county, design to celebrate that festival, by setting up
divers prizes to be contended for in the following manner,
(to wit, ) A neat hunting-saddle, with a fine broad-cloth
housing, fring'd and flower'd, &c. to be run for (the
quarter, ) by any number of horses and mares: a fine
Cremona fiddle to be plaid for, by any number of country
fiddlers, (Mr. Langford's scholars excepted:) With divers
other considerable prizes, for dancing, singing, foot-ball-
play, jumping, wrestling, &c. particularly a fine pair of
silk stockings to be given to the handsomest maid upon the
green, to be judg'd of by the company,
At Page's warehouse, commonly call'd Crutchfield in the
said County of Hanover, where all persons will find good
entertainment.
