Shall We Dance ?

A Subscription Ball took place at the Theatre on the 12th ( 1833 ) in honour of Mr. Fenton's election.
The meeting was most respectably attended and constituted an assemblage of beauty and fashion seldom if ever equalled in the town.
There were nearly 200 persons present. Dancing commenced at 7 and continued until 2 0'clock in the morning when the company separated highly gratified by the enjoyment of the night's entertainment.
The viands were excellent and did great credit to Mr. Fisher of the Beaver Inn by whom they were supplied.
