Ranelagh. At Ranelagh Garden, this present evening, being
the 21st of July, will be performed, a concert of vocal and
instrumental music. The vocal parts by Mr. Woolls and Miss
Wainwright. After which will be exhibited, by the Italian
Brothers, a grand set of fire-works, divided into five acts,
to be disposed in the following order,viz. . . [28 lines of
description of the five acts of fire-works] Vivant Rex &
Regina. The very extraordinary expence that attends so
large an exhibition of fire-works, together with the usual
charge of the orchestra, will, it is humbly presum'd, be
thought a sufficient reason for raising the price of
admission to three shillings for that evening. The ladies
and gentlemen who propose to sup at the Gardens, will please
to give Mr.Jones, notice of it in time, that rooms may be
kept, and proper provision prepared for their entertainment.
It is humbly requested that no persons will throw squibs in
the garden, at least, before the fire-works are over; for,
besides the terror they put the ladies in, the evening's
entertainment might be entirely spoiled by an accident
happening to one of the pieces.
