Mainpiece Title: Hydaspes

Event Comment: Ryder (p. 101): We first went into Norris's booth and then into Penkethman and Bullock booth. They are both of them very mean and fit only to make us laugh. The farces are made up out of several very comical parts of other plays which are collected together. Penkethman and Bullock are a mere farce to look at them only; they have both of them so very simple a look, but yet in a very different kind. There was the Duke of Montague and some compnay of fashion. There was rope dancing and tumbling at Penkethman and Bullock. It was very low life represented. There were now and then some good humorous turns came in that made us laugh with a just pleasure
