BURY Sr. EDMUNDS, OCT. 14.

Our Fair commenced on Monday. The atrem-
blage of company, and thew of thops on the An-
gel Hill, fir exceeded that of any former year ;
the bufinefs of this Fair is fo much increafed, and
the number of manufaanrers who attend it fo con-
fiderably augmented, that the fpace formerly al-
lotted is found infufficient for the ereition of the
necetfary booths, and the difplay of the numerous
articles of finery. Many have been obliged to hire
private honfes at a very exorbitant rent, while
others have been compelled to return without an
axopportunity of thewing their goods. The molt
iiOtunable Rands are thole erofted oppolite the
Angel Inn, many of which are emblazoned with
the names of the molt dating milliners and jewel- i
len from Bond.ftreet, Bath, Brighton, blancher.
ter, Birmingham, Sheffield, Norwich, Salifbnry,
Canibridge, ate. The whole town is one conti-
nued teen of gaiety and pleafure. Balls, plays,
concerts, and oratorios; fox-hunting, courting,
!hooting, billiards, tennis, and every defcription
of amufements, from Pissarro and Blue Beard to
the Bartholomew Fair drollery of Puach and bii
frfie•

In the morning the Ladies promenade through
the different ranges of flops, while the Gentlemen
attend the hunt, billiard table, or tennis court ; in
the evening, the ball, play, concert, or oratorio.
The two former have been very fuccefsful, and the
two latter as much the contrary ; for notwith-

fisccefs of this undertaking, the Managers of which
