" On April 14th the Provost offered ^50 reward for the apprehension of the ringleaders, at the same time cautioning the public that peace officers were in nightly attendance at the Theatre to apprehend any one who caused a riot. " Plows, by Got, " and his companions had, how- ever, settled the matter for ever, and the officers were never needed. On the 27th, A Fete Champetre was given in the Theatre, when the pillars were hung with evergreens and sham fiowers. Five hundred vari- gated lamps wer...e hung round the building, and the front of the stage con- verted into a grand triumphal arch. Lionel and Clarissa was acted during the evening. On May 3rd, a new serio-comic pantomime, written in honour of Thomson the poet, was produced. It was called Thomsons Birthday, or The Triumph of Reason. On the following night but one, the Theatre was closed till May 21st, when Mrs Kemble had a benefit. The play was to have been Lear, with Kemble as the old king, and Mrs Kemble as Cordelia, in which part she was advertised to sing, " Oh Nanny, wilt thou gang wi' me, " and " 'Twas within a mile " !
