AURAL FETE AT GYETORO LODGE,
NEAR TWICKENHAM.
On Monday last. Mrs. JORDAN gave a fatalists
at her beautiful Villa, Gyfford Lodge. The prepa-
rations were made with, taste and elegance. In the
several avenues to the Lodge, bowers were formed,
with wreaths of lowers, intermixed with variegated
lamps ; two temporary pavilions were crafted on
the lawn, in the front of the grand saloon; the first
was of a circular form, containing a horseshoe
table for s:venty.eight ; the second contained a table
for thirty-six, with two side tables for seven each; the
alcoves were all hung with variegated lamps. At
the left of the lawn was a small bower.with alooking-
glass placed in the angle, and surrounded with va-
riegated lamps, and opposite the glass was a brilli-
ant star of variegated lamps ; the whole of this bower
formed a beautiful deception. The trellis-work round
the Lodge was decorated with festoons of variegated
lamps. The Grand Saloon was particularly beauti-
ful ; a brilliant star, in variegated lamps, being placed
over the fire-place, and aChinese lamp, suspended in
the centre of the tiding; the floor was chalked is
devices; in the centre, the anchor, with a flag ; in the
angles were branches of laurels, and Cupids pointing
their darts at a target. the whole surrounded by a
Mosaic border. A Turkey carpet was laid over the
floor during the collation, and a table laid for twenty.
In the adjoining apartments were also tables for
thirty-six, at one of which Mrs. Jos o•• presided.
Breakfast was amounted for three o'clock, but, from
the wetness of the morning, it was four o'clock be-
fore she company began to assemble. had immedi-
ately the tents and all the apartments were
with the company, who sat down to a grand cold
collation. which consisted of every delicacy. with
ices in profusion, fruits, and confeftionary ; nor was
the more solid fare of hams, and cold fowls, forgot-
ten. Wines of every sort were in profusion. Among
the guests that first arrived were His Royal High-
ness the Duke of Ctaaauct, and his lovely child:le.

Hsowwrss and his party, which consisted of the
Countess of Bucassiona sesame, she Earl of ATM..
Lows, Lady C. GINKELL, and Lady Fs is,
Sir RAL r II and Lady Ms , and several other
Nobility. The ornaments and decorations of this
table were splendid. The Band of the 14th Ught
Dragoons, in full uniform, played several martial
airs during the repast. At six o'clock, all clouds
were dispersed, and Nature, refreshed by the showers
of the morning, put on her most fascinating ap-
m4rance ; the fragrant woodbines shed their per-
fumes all around. A hand-bill, aumouncing dhe
rustic sports, was distributed. Matches for running,
bopping, Sac. were formed ;
