defeats of the fete. From six o'clock till nine, no

elided this division of the scene. The people had
leisure to walk about and fatigue themselves; and
what was worse, fatigue brought with it the never-fail..

with ridicule or indifference all the preparations made
for their amktsemett!. Ample amends, however, were
voade for this delay, and the public quickly resumed
