will play in the centre of the Rotunda during supper-time: other music to be disposed of in the garden, as the Committee shall direct.--Three military bands, composed of fifes, drums, cymbals, &c. will be habited in a manner consonant with the naval flags of Great Britain, and be properly stationed, as will likewise three other select bands of the most eminent masters on wind instruments:--all under such directions as may best entertain the company while on the water, and at the time of disembarking.--The garden of Ranelagh will be lighted up, and a temporary bower erected and decorated round the canal for dancing.--The platform of Chelsea-hospital to be open, for the greater conveniency of disembarking. "If the 20th of June be the day approved of by the Committee, a red flag will be displayed at ten in the morning over the centre arch of Westminster-bridge, continue flying all day, and the bells of St. Margaret's church will ring from ten o'clock till one: without such notification, be it understood, that the _Regatta_ is, on account of unfavourable weather, postponed till Wednesday the 21st of June, when the like signal will be repeated:--if the weather still continue bad, the _Regatta_ to be put off till Thursday the 22d of June, when it will be given at all events." An account of this amusement was inserted in the newspapers, from one of which I beg leave to repeat it. "Yesterday before noon several of the companies and great numbers of pleasure barges were moored in the river, with flags, &c. Half a guinea was asked for a seat in a common barge, to see the _Regatta_. "Early in the afternoon, the whole river, from London-bridge to the Ship-tavern, Milbank, was covered with vessels of pleasure, and there seemed to be a general combination to make a gay evening. Above 1200 flags were flying before four-o'clock; and such was the public impatience, that scores of barges were filled at that time.--Scaffolds were erected on the banks and in vessels, and even on the top of Westminster-hall was an erection of that kind.--Vessels were moored in the river, for the sale of liquors and other refreshments. "The Thames, by six o'clock, was overspread with vessels and boats ornamented with divers colours; much about which time they began to form themselves into divisions. The Director's barge, which was uncommonly superb, and on the stern of which was displayed a blue ensign, with the word _Regatta_ in large gold characters, was rowed in great state to its station, a little before seven, on the West point of the centre arch. The boats and vessels of the red flag immediately brought up in the line of the four arches, on the Lambeth-side; the blue division in the direction of the four nearest Westminster; and the white, of the two arches on each side the centre: the grand centre arch being solely appropriated to the race-boats.
