Event Comment: Benefit for Mrs Cibber. No part of the Pit will be rail'd into the Boxes; but for the better accommodation of the Ladies, the Stage will be enclos'd in form of an Amphitheatre, where servants will be allowed to keep places. Ladies desired to send servants by 3 o'clock. Afterpiece: By Particular Desire. A letter from Paris informs us of a very singular entertainment exhibited at the Fair of St Germains, consisting of a Concert of Music executed by a band of Animal musicians. A number of Cats, clothed uniformly, were placed on stools, with music books before them, and a Monkey in the middle who beat time. On a signal given by the Monkey, the cast set up a mewing, and were accompanied by some violins; which form'd a very diverting dissonance. The whole Fair flock'd to it; and some of the gravest people of Paris could not forbear laughing heartily
