Dalkeith, Sept. 7. The young gentlemen of the high school
here, on the 27th day of August, last, acted the Tragedy of
Tamerlane, and after dinner, the Provoked Husband. There
was present at the representation, a very great appearance
of nobility and gentry of both sexes, perhaps the greatest
that ever was seen in Scotland on any such occasion. The
young gentlemen acted so as to please many very good judges,
and every one who was there : The crowd was so great, that
the uppermost part of the scaffolding was broke down; but no
body was hurt, except two boys, one under the seats, who was
something stunn'd, and another whose leg was broke, but no
lives in danger, for the boys are in a fair way of recovery.
