 From &1,2OO 70 SI,6OO Net Prons Expected for the United Workers. Two large audiences were again delighted yesterday afternoon and evening with the brilliant measures and captivating move ments of the National Dances at the Hype- rion. The matinee proved as novel and as interesting as the performance of the evening before. Many new dances were introduced. The Mother Goose Quadrille, one of the new features, was received with much applause. Among the we'll known people who assisted in 1t were Miss Gaffney, Miss Alice Fechter, Miss Helen winchell. Miss Daniker, Messrs. GavaQan, Butler and Collins and Dr. Jones. Mics Gaffney was presented with hand some bouquet. The Quadrille was an artistic one and was rendered with much grace and skill by the dancers.
 The third dance presented was the Swedish Dalecartisn dance. It was done, if any- thing, with more skill than on the first night. | Everyone of the dancers did well. Those who participated were Misses Alice Porter, Alice Scranton, May 0. Howard, Della s. Bradley, May 0. Kimberly, Mary North, Susie Evans, Annie Sperry, Stevens of Hartford, Beth Stetson, Nellie Hofer, Flor encs Judson. Fife Smith, Fannie Chandler, Messrs. John Punderford, Milton Bradley, Charles Boltwood, Fred Lloyd, Leonard E. Hotohkiss, Arthur Foote, Heron, Benjamin R. English, jr., Sidney Holt, R. W. Mills, jr., Chauncey T. Lamb,S s. Fred Strong, Harry Holoomb, Harry Chandler. ... The ladies' costumes in this dance were dark blue skirts trimmed with numerous bells and bright yellow ribbons, peasants' waists with white vamp, black velvet pointed caps, fancy bright colorsd aprons. The gen. tlsmen's costumes were buff velvet knicker- lockers, red waist coats, white sleeves and ties, white felt hats trimmed with red rib bons. All carried bells in their hands trimmed with yellow ribbons.
 The Baby Polka was just as amusing as ever and the Spanish girls acquitted them selves with the same grace and art as upon their first appearance. The operetta,. Meet ing of the Nations, was another new feature which was greatly admired. It was in charge of Miss Adelaide Morse and Mrs. Hsdden. Most of the participants were children. The Flag drill opened this part of the entertainment. It was splendtdly done, and each difficult evolution provoked enthu- siastic applause. There was not flaw or imperfection in the movements, and the evolutions and movements executed were numerous and varied. The wooden staffs carried were used in the closing part US mus. kets in a manual of arms exercise and after that were in twinklipg developed into na- tional flags, which were waved in grand patriotic denouement as the throng sang in unison "Ths Star-Spaugled Banner" Miss Sanford most admirably led the flag drill as captain. Her efforts were most painstaking and unwearying. Charles Walker, son of Dr. Walker, deserves praise also, as he taught the young recruits the manual. Mrs. W. J. Hoggson ably aided as Q member of the flag drill committee. Following the drill came Q succession of groups of young folks, each group representing in costume some foreign nation and each singing song and winding up with @ characteristic danco. Each group was warmly applauded and the little folks did nobly. The participants in each were:

 Last evening the theater was crowded with e gathering as brilliant and as enthusiastic as that which witnessed the two preceding performances. Several new dances were in- troduoed and were greeted with much ap. plause. The entire entertainment has proved as big success as anything of the kind ever given In this city. Too much praise can hardly be awarded the ladies for their inde- fatigable assistance in promoting the success of the affair, and to Prof. Marwig the utmost praise is awarded unanimously by all the la- dies. The dances were certainly brilliant success and captured the public. All the more praise is due as the whole affair was gotten up with only six rehearsals.
 The management estimate the probable net receipts at from $1 200 to $1 ,500.
