[235] An impetus to the fireworks seems to have been first given by Angelo, father of Henry Angelo, who directed the displays in 1766. In 1771 the fireworkers were Clitherow and Caillot. [236] The admission ticket for the Regatta Ball (Lake scene) was prepared by Cipriani and Bartolozzi. [237] _Evening Mail_, Feb. 15–17, 1792. [238] Newspaper cutting [W. Coll.] assigned to 28 June (referring to 27 June), 1793. Mr. Vizetelly (_Chevalier D’Eon_, p. 322) states that D’Eon fenced at Ranelagh in 1794. The managers of Ranelagh had given the Chevalier, who was then in money difficulties, a benefit night in 1791 (24 June). [239] Another great fête of this period (June 1802 or 1803?) was the Ball given by the Spanish Ambassador. [240] _The European Magazine_, October 1802, and several newspapers of the time. [241] The name was spelt Strumbels, Strombels and Strumbello. Davis (_Knightsbridge_) calls it Stromboli House. [242] O’Keefe’s _Recollections_. [243] Davis’s _Knightsbridge_. Strumbelo is marked in the map of 1789 in Fores’s _New Guide_. [244] The Star and Garter was at the end of Five Fields Row. In Faulkner’s time (_Chelsea_, ii. p. 354), about 1829, the house, no longer used as a tavern, was Mr. Homden’s Academy. [245] On the Cherokee Chiefs, see Forster’s _Goldsmith_, bk. iii. chap. vi. (ann. 1762). [246] John Coan, “the unparalleled Norfolk Dwarf,” died there 16 March 1764 (_Daily Advertiser_, 17 March, 1764). [247] The Dwarf’s Tavern according to Faulkner (_Chelsea_, ii. 354), was situated in Chelsea Fields “on the spot which was afterwards called Spring Gardens, between Ebury Street and Belgrave Terrace,” and which was subsequently (a few years before 1829) occupied by Ackerman’s Waterproof Cloth Manufactory. This Spring Garden is the place usually marked in the maps (_e.g._, Horwood’s Plan, B. 1795) as the _New Spring Gardens, Chelsea_, and was a place of public entertainment, as may be inferred from a newspaper advertisement of January 1792: “J. Louis, of New Spring Gardens, Chelsea, having fitted up _likewise_ the above house (_i.e._ York Coffee House) in Norris Street, Haymarket, for the winter, serves dinners and suppers there.” This Spring Garden was distinct from the _Spring Gardens, Knightsbridge_, a place frequented by Pepys, and perhaps identical with the World’s End, Knightsbridge (see Davis’s _Knightsbridge_, p. 149, ff.). The Knightsbridge Spring Gardens (which stood about where William Street joins Lowndes Square) ceased to be a place of entertainment before 1773, in which year the house belonging to them was occupied by Dr. C. Kelly, who had his anatomical museum there. Walford (v. 18) engraves from a drawing in the Crace Collection a view of the “Spring Gardens,” which he assigns to the Knightsbridge Spring Gardens, but it is possibly a representation of the _Chelsea_ Spring Gardens.
