inhabitants of this town, and the neighbouring country, went
on horseback to Dunbury, where they met his Majesty's
Picture, presented by John Huske, Esq; to this corporation;
it was drawn by six horses, decorated with ribbons, and on
the top were three flags;. . . [4 lines]
At eleven o'clock the picture entered this town, and
passed on to the town hall, preceded by the people who went
to meet it, and an elegant band of music, playing, God Save
the King, &c. It was received under a triple discharge of
artillery, accompanied by bells ringing, flags, streamers,
&c. flying, and the acclamations of a vast concourse of
people assembled on this occasion. . . [9 lines]
The Corporation gave a grand and elegant dinner to Mr.
Huske and several other gentlemen; . . . [4 lines] and the
whole was concluded by a ball, which did not break up till
