9US Broadway. July 80.
Considera bic discussion has arisen over
the propriety of perm ting dancing at
the exposition by young children. The
County Women'S Christian Temperance
Union held meeting to-day and Di-
rectors Bell and Sharp appeared before
them and stated that on several evenings
the entertainments had been turned over
10 private parties or organizations and
aside from a stipulation that they should
not be Objectionable the directors had not
anything to do with getting them up. In
the future it was probab bic that diffe rem t
plan would be pursued and there would
be no eau for any one to take exception
to the exhibitions.
Professor Aker conducted the dane
ing that was unfavorably criticized

have taken offens. AT the dancing" he
said, ''or that the ladies should pass such

Director Trow bridge. who is chairma an
OF the entertainment committee of the
exposition, SAYS he has no apologies 10
offer for the dancing. "The dances were
the usual fancy dances, similar TO those
given last year, about which no CRITICS m
was passed." said Mr. Trow bridge TO-
night. Every one seemed to be delighted
and there was nothing in the dancing, 1t
seemed to me, to which any right inded
