Oct /50 The Eunuchus was the play fixed to be acted here next Xmas, but owing to the absence of one of the Q.S. who was to have taken one of the principal characters, it was changed to the Andria which would have been acted last year but for the death of Queen Adelaide. V.…
In consequence of Rigaud’s leaving Westminster his friends proposed last term to present him with a piece of plate. This was accomplished this half, & it was sent to Ipswich. It cost I believe £22. J Murray Prin. Opp.

On Thursday Aug 8th a match came off at our ground between our eleven & the Charterhouse. The challenge was given on our part; but some of the eleven thought it too low on the ground of Charterhouse not being a publick school. Blagden (Captain) & Ingram (1st Mon.) refused to play; but afterwards agreed,…
