City of New-York, 3d July, 1766. Renelagh Gardens, (for
breakfasting, as well as the evening entertainment of 
ladies and gentlemen,) are laid out, at a great expence, in
a very genteel, pleasing manner; and judged to be far the
most rural retreat any way near this city.---As an addition
thereto, a complete band of music is engaged to perform
every Monday and Thursday evenings, during the summer
season, (beginning at 7 o'clock;)  a commodious hall in the
garden for dancing, with drawing rooms neatly fitted up; the
very best of wine, and other liquors, mead, sillabubs, &c.
with gammon, tongues, alamode beef, tarts, cakes, &c.&c. and
on notice given, dinners and other large entertainments,
elegantly provided as usual;strict regularity at all times
observed. . . [3 more lines, signed:] John Jones. 
N.B.When any evening proves bad, the concert will be the
evening following; tickets to be had at the Gardens, and at
the Queen's Head Tavern, near the Exchange.
