14 Nov 1754:22 (1351)
Sunday last being the King's birth-day, when his Majesty
enter'd into the seventy-second year of his age, the same
was observed here the next day with the greatest solemnity.
At noon his Honour the Governor gave an entertainment on the
occasion at his house in this city: And in the evening
there was a grand ball at the State-house, at which were
present about a hundred ladies, and a much greater number of
gentlemen, who made as brilliant an assembly as has ever
been seen in this province. All the company were elegantly
entertain'd by his Honour there at supper in the Long
Gallery; after which the loyal healths were drank; likewise
those of the propritaries of Pennsylvania, and prosperity to
the province, &c. and every thing was conducted with the
greatest decorum, and to general satisfaction.
