BATH, JANUART 13.

Mr. KiNO's Ball, at the Lower Rooms, MI Friday
tall, had by far one of the molt numerous and fplen-
did affemblages that ever was Peen on any occafion,
either in this town or its vicinity. The company be-
gan to affemble as early as (even o'clock, (the defi-
ciency or a carnage entrance to thefe rooms we have
previouily noticed) and the hurry, Wale, and confu-
lion, which prevailed among the aslant tribe, fete an
accurate defcription at defiance. No ferious accident,
however, happily occurred.
By half path nine o'clock the rooms were com-
pletely crowded in all parts ; and though it was one
of the coldell evenings of winter, the heat was fo ex-
calm that many ladies,nearly fainting, were in con-
fequence compelled to retire. The greater part of
the e'exantes that had arrived early, withdrew before
ten o'clock ; after which hour it is fuppofed that not
lefs than Soo perfons joined the party who continued
at the Rooms. The afiemblage, on the whole, in
number exceeded nioo—all the rank and fafhion of
Bath being prefent.
