Military drill at Southampton features General Oglethorpe regiment
On May 17 General Oglethorpe arrived and inspected his regiment at six o'clock. Spectators praised their drill and appearance, with twenty gentlemen among volunteers.

By May 20 the Bath season begins to wind down as the Hotwell grows busier with expected visitors.
