troduce DIR. Lewis system OF light gymnas-
tics into our city, are being appreciated, aud
he has now class ofsome forty or hly adults,

ses, Mr.. Bradford is graduate of DR.. Lew
is'"Normal Institute of Physical Education, /"
Boston, and understands thoroughly all de-
parlmenis Of the science, and brings to tie
work that skill, energy and discretion, SO nee
essary in the practical application of it.
Although the exercises Of the class are very
pleasing and attractive, affording sufficient
amount of exciting amusement to compen-
safe for the time and money expended, the
principal object is the attainment Of strong,
graceful, well-developed physical organiza-
ton, to the accomplishment Of which the ex-
, ercises are particularly adopted. Anew class
Is being organized for beginners which will
afford those who desire to become familiar
with all the movements, an excellent oppor-
tunity. Those who join this term will have
the advantage of the previous low tuition.
