Event Comment: As 5 March. old Whig, 20 March: In the flourishing State of this Opera [Artaxerxes], 'tis no Wonder that the other Theatres decline.

He has lately reviv'd his fine Oratorio of Esther, in which he has introduced two Concerto's on the Organ that are inimitable. But so strong is the Disgust taken against him, that even this has been far from bringing him crowded Audiences; tho' there were no other publick Entertainments on those Evenings
