wigs flicking half a yard out behind their
necks ; some with little cut scratches, that
look extremely ridiculous. Some come in
cracking their whips, with buckskin breeches
and jocky caps. Some are armed with
great oaken slicks; their hair tied up in
enormous clubs, and slocks that swell their
necks to double its natural size. Eut what
affords the principal part of the entertain-
ment is, three quakers who are duped by
three ladies of the town, in concert with
three jack tars, their lovers.—These cha-
racters, as you may believe, are much ex-
aggerated, though, upon the whole, they
are supported with humour, and have af-
forded us a good deal of laughing ; how-
ever we were hurt to see the respedlable
