Astley’s Theatre will be crowded To-morrow Evening even to the corners. The Attractions are a total Change of Entertainments, and the annual Boat Race, for a Prize Wherry, by seven Pair of Oars, which are to start at Westminster Bridge. The Winners of the Boat (given by Astley) are to be carried round the Stage at the Amphitheatre of Arts, in Procession, attend by a Band or martial Music, &c. the particulars of which, also of the ceremony, shall be given in our next; as we mean to be present on an occasion which as it is of great service to that useful body of people the Watermen, it rebounds the more to the credit of the Manager, who, in his advertisement in the front of this Paper, specifies the times of starting, number of heats, &c. &c.
