The SoMEgsETsKE-This is the name
OF new dance which bids far tcknock tho
Walta. the Mozurka. the Polka, the Re
dowa, and the Scottish into n cockedsiiat.
This last named dance is by far the most
ridiculous affair that ever was participated
in by sane people. We never sec it with
oat thinking ot a gandeT balancing him
sell on one eS, and ncdIing nfactiona,eiy'
and amnr"nsly on his lavcrite goose. But,
from all accounts the Somcrsetski is the
dance of the Sgc. il is danced hy four
persons--,wo, ladies and two gcnllemen.
The ladies' are dressed in f-eek reaching
TO tie knee, aud the Continuances are of
stocknct fitting as close as possible TO tho
SKIN. One lady wears a white stocking
and black stocking, and tho other wears
one green and one. red stocking. The
gentlemen are dressed in shorts, and their
stockings are of pink and purple color.
The dance begins by the gentlemen
turning somcrsets over lLa ladies'; after
which the ladies turn somarsc,s ever the.
gentlemen; and then the whole party turn
somcrseis ever each, other, promiscuously
and miscellaneously. During this last
named movement, the performers. with
their variega'ed costumes, present. all the
changes OF the Kaleidoscope. Those who
have seen thissdance admire it greatly. IL

watering places this season.
