[Hanover County] In some of our former Gazettes we gave an
account that there was to be a meeting of the gentlemen and
ladies, in that county, on St. Andrew's Day, as well to
propagate good society, as to commemorate that patron, &c.
We can now inform our readers, that there was accordingly a
meeting at the time and place appointed, of a great number
of gentlemen, ladies, and others; booths were set up, and an
extraordinary good dinner provided for them, with variety
and plenty of liquors. The horse and foot races were run;
and all or most of the prizes contended for, and won. The
fine saddle and housing were won by a bay horse belonging to
one Tynes, of Caroline County; but 'tis said Mr. James
Littlepage is to have it. During the time a flag was
display'd, drums were beating, trumpets sounding, and other
musick playing, for the entertainment of the company, and
the whole was manag'd with as good order, and gave as great
satisfaction, in general, as cou'd possibly be expected.
