honour the Governor gave an entertainment on the occasion at

the State-house, at which were present upwards of one
hundred ladies, and a much greater number of gentlemen, who
form'd the most brilliant assembly that had ever before been
seen in this province. The whole company were elegantly

decorum, and to general satisfaction.
