London. . . [49 lines]  Among the sundry fashionable routs
of clubs that are held in town, that of the black or Negro
servants is not the least: On Thursday night no less than 59
of them, men and women, supped, drank, and entertained
themselves with dancing and music; consisting of violins,
French horns, and other instruments, at a public house in
Southwark.  No whites were allowed to be present, for all
the performers were black.
