A NEW TANGLED DANCE.
Loie Fuller Originated 1t, but Another
Woman Copied 1t.

New York has new dance and u mas
taken the town by storm. Loie ruler
who has recently been involved in the AR
ing in court Of some very dirty domestic
linen. was the originator Of il, but she de-
manded more salary when she found what
a hit she had made and was discharged.
Then the management of the Casino hired
another woman TO copy Miss Fuller's clever
work and the dance went on after Miss
Fuller had gone of.
The dance is founded on that OF the
Nautch girls who appeared at the Paris ex-
position. 1t involves the use Of volumln-
Gus skirt Of mysterious construction and
airy fabric, which the dancer swirls about
her rs she whirls through her steps in
way that is bcwildering. At one time 1t
twists around her like a gauzy white ser
pent: at others it rises above her as sails
over a ship, and mt the end of still another
figure it extends from her shoulder blades
like the wings of butterfly
The skirt which Miss Fuller used in the
dance was procured for her especially in
India, and was much more effective than
the one used by her imitatOr.

A bicycle rider wheeled a quarter mile
in 20 40 seconds at Hartford July 4.
This beats all time at the distance made

The value this year Of the grand prize
of Paris was $4,000. The gate money
amounted to $40, 900 and the sum of
5000, 900 was invested in the mutuels.
There are over 200 trotting associa-
tons in the United States and Canada,
not counting the numerous organizations
not in membership with the National or
American associations.
From All analysis of the list of animals
with records between 2:2O and 2:OSll4. 1t
would appear that a trotter is at his
best when seven years old, as animals OF
that age in this list exceed i'll numbers
those of any other age.
