[[Turin]]

We were told that the Reason of
the [[Duke of Savoy]] having but two
Horses with little Attendance, &
following the three first royal
Coaches at some Distance, is partly
because he does not affect a
great deal of Parade, & next not
to crowd on the Princesses &c in
the Coaches before him, but to allow
them to move slowly, & thus take
the Air & see the Company better -
After those Coaches go off, he remains
some time longer on the Course to see the
Company better -

At Night ab't [about] 8 OClock we
went to the Comedy- w'ch [which] is a Small
House, neat eno' [enough] - but no place fit
for the King or royal family who
indeed do not go to the common Comedy;
but constantly attend the Opera w'ch [which] here
there a fine ~~Troup of~~ Company of Performers
one of the most excellent in [[Italy]] from
abt [about]
