Fiat win suit All.

New York Tribune.
The waltz is doomed. The news comes
from Vienna, the homo par excellence of
the waltz, and the hand that deals the
mortal blow is none other than that of
Strauss. who may almost be regarded as
the creator of tine dance. The genuine
waltz is too fast FOR our self-induigent
habits. We cannot keep up with the
rapid whirl, the constant succession of
quick measured steps and turns. We dine
late now, and-aB regards many OF us
too well. The spectacle Of persons fresh
from dinner of half dozen COURSES and
unlimited champagne attempting to keep

quently many attempts have been made
to modify the severity Of the dance.
Various tBlow" waltzes have been iutro-
dused Ia some GASES TO four unEsinly
hops, In others to couple OF shuiiling
slides. II "a these that Herr Strauss de-
eolibos Rs conversation dRnoes." Ke
now proposes to give us something be-
tween the latter and the tIue waltz, and
to wed 1t to his own characteristic strains.
81 intend to call 1t the minuet waltz
says the famous composer. SIT will be
composed in threa.four time, and consist
OF three sets, which all begin andantinu
grAaioso, in the style OF the minuet or
polonaiss. 1t will then gradually develop
into the real waltz, with thu old fashioned
rapid time and whirl. Ladies will be
able to accept lazy partners accustomed
to good living and sedontsTy occupations
for the first part, while for the faster
movements they can take more agile and
less placid partners who are btil
dancers"
The minuet waltz is to DO introduced
OF the approaching oarDiayl TO the elite
of the Austrian sIistoGrscy, and Herr
Strauss ia confident thst il will serve &

their visit was an impertinenoe and that
