among a variety of other selected pieces, both vocal and
instrumental, will be introduced, the celebrated dialogue,
between Damon and Chloe, composed by Mr. Arne; a two-part

gentlemen who are pleased to favour them with their company,
that they would be pleased to apply for their tickets in
time, that the company may be as agreeable to them as
possible.  Tickets to be had of Mr. Cobham, in Hanover-
