The West Chester LOcal Mems says ::
The dancing classes which have been
under the direction of Prof. A. S. Webster
of Wilmington, during the past winter in
this borough, were closed last evening, at
the armory, on West Gay street, for the
season. In accordance with an invitation
extended by the professor ON previous
occasion large number of the pupils
relatives and friends were present and the
time was agreeably spent in terpsichorean
exercises and in general social inter
course. Both the adult and children's
classes were in attendance and the closing
scene was marked by every feature that
lends attractiveness to such occasions.
There was unanimous expression OF
entire satisfaction with Mr.. Webster's
capacity as teacher, his gentlemanly de-
pertinent and strictly honorable conduct
throughout the term. The excellent
reputation he has gained in this COM
munity should serve as recommendation
for him wherever his lot may be cast, and
ut any time in the future he will be cor
daily welcomed to our borough.
