The preparations made in the Egyptian hall at the Mansion-
house for entertaining his Danish Majesty are esteemed the
grandest ever known, particularly those over his Majesty's
seat, the devices and decorations are grand and noble beyond
description; . . . [3 lines]
The disposition of the lights, the arrangement of the
tables, and the erection of the temporary orchestra, and the
whole of the ornamenting of the Aegyptain Hall, on account
of the city entertainment to the King of Denmark, was left
to the care of Mr. George Dance, clerk of the city works . .
. [3 lines] . . .
We hear that the King of Denmark proposes giving two
entertainments at his sole expense before he leaves this
Kingdom; the one to the public, a grand masquerade ball, on
Monday the 10th of October, at the Opera House; and the
other to the Nobility, a sumptuous ball and cold collation,
on Thursday the 13th of the same month, at Mrs. Cornelys's
in Soho-square.
