despite the stormy weather,
there were about 200 visitors at the
closing of the first quarter Of the
ladies and children's class, on last
Saturday afternoon, at Prof. Web
ster's Academy, and was certainly
success in every particular. As the
dancing of the little children was
remarkable, so perfect did they go
through the waltzes and square
dances, that we would have thought
:hey had been taking a much longer
time. And as we were looking on
and saw how particular the Prof. was
with them and at the same time kind
with all, we could readily see how it
was that they were so proficient.
After dancing about 6 numbers the
Hyland Fling was danced by
Misses who had just taken the first
quarter, and were taught BY the Prof.
for an entertainment outside of the
school, and they certainly did him
great credit. After that the Tambow
jig, a very beautiful and difficult
dance was executed by d Misses.
Also the Hyland Fling again by two
little Misses only 6 years old, which
was the event of the afternoon, as
we had never seen anyone so small
dance anything of the kind before,
and they went through it without the
slightest mistake and all Of the
parents were delighted with the
progress the scholars had made in
the quarter, and they one and all
allowed them TO continue for the next
quarter. And the orchestra under
the direction of Prof. Worth, dis
coursed such fine music that we
thought that anyone could dance to
it. Good time and entirely new
music is Prof. Worih's motto.
