DANCING ON WHEELS.

Bicycles Introduced at Government
Ball in Melbourne
1t has been reserved for AusI ala to in
troduce the bicycle into the ballroom,
says an exchange. England has had her
bicycle gym khanas, Princess Letltia Bona
parte has given al fresco bicycle parties at
her villa, near Turin, but Lord and Lady
Brassey are the first to furnish their BALL
room with a bicycle track ana banked
ends.
The occasion was their first ball of the
season at a Government house in Mel
bourne, and a musical ride on bicycles
was an important part of the program me.
1t was an adaptation of the musical
rides OF the Household Brigade or the
Scots Grays, and those who participated
spent several days practicing the evolu-
tions, sometimes for three hours at a
stretch. Though the highly polished
floors had been heavily busted with
French chalk, several riders had slight
mishaps from side slipping, but these in
terfered little with the success of the
affair.
The figures executed were a blend of
cavalry ride and the quadrille, as indi-
Gated by the commands used in practic-
ing, such as Ladies, right turn; gentle
men, left turn - chain - ladies to the
CENTER" and so on.
The ladies wore cycling costumes of pale
blouses, with dark blue ties and dark blue
skirts.
