that I shall drop it in winter. - - - - I therefore beg leave to represent to the public, that I intend to continue my stage once a week from New-York to Philadelphia, and back again to New-York, both winter and summer, the days I first advertised I shall continue, and cannot interfere with Barnhill and Mercerow's stages, as I set off from Powles- Hook, on the Tuesday, the morning after them, and go by Newark and Elizabeth-Town, through Wood- bridge, Brunswick, Prince-Town, Trenton and Bris- tol, and back again from Philadelphia, on the Friday morning, the same road ; it is the greatest folly im- aginable to attempt an imposition on the public, by the first mentioned false represented intention, and pretended opposition : This the public may depend upon, that, by GOD'S permission, I will drive my stage both ways through, and will make it my study to deserve the encouragement of the public ; whom I beg leave to thank for the favours I have already received.
