London. . . April 26. A certain gentleman at Poplar, the
friend of the patriotick Wilkes, had last Tuesday a very
elegant dinner. . . . The whole concluded with a ball in
the evening, when 45 ladies entered the room; then the
dances immediately began, and each lady was saluted at the
end of every dance, which were nine minuets, nine rigadoons,
nine cotillons, and eighteen country dances, being in the
whole 45. After the ladies had been kissed around 45 times,
and 45 couple of jellies were eaten, the company retired
with great mirth and festivity at 45 minutes past 3 o'clock.
