The people of the Anglo-Saxon race
have always been lovers of dancing.
From the earliest days rural festivals
have always been celebrated with mu-
sic and the dance, and the same desires
that mastered the peasantry and COM
PEELED them to trip gaily to the rude
music of pipe and tabor appealed just
as emphatically to the souls of the lords
and ladies of the highest society. The
dances may have been ever so different,
but the courtly movements that We're
made popular by society were inspired
by the same feeling as that which act
uated the lads and lasses who danced
around the Maypole on the village
green.
Tt would be difficult to go back far
enough to find a time when dancing
was not the popular amusement of so
ciety. Shakespeare tells of the kissing
dance, in which the grave and sober
courtier pressed the lips of each maid
and matron who might honor him with
her company upon the floor, and we are
told that King Henry VI. threatened
the under barristers of his time with
fines and other punishments for their
refusal to participate in this delight of
the social world.
Henry VIII. was one of the devoted
slaves to dancing, and it was during

ents and others for the ingenuity of the
fancy figures invented by the leader
One of the most successful cotillon
leaders ever known was Augustus
Lunley, who reigned supreme in Lon
don society for many years, and it must
be admitted that many of the most de-
Hghtful figures now suggested by CO.
tillon leaders of our own society were
first conceived in his brain. To be a
successful cotillon leader is one of the
most difficult feats that a young man
can be called upon to perform, and
there are but few who have really
mastered the art.
OF course there have been many va
riations to these dances, especially in
the case of the quadrille and lancers.
but in almost every instance their pop
ularity has been sectional.
One dance that has always been a
favorite in royal circles is the polon-
aise. Years ago this was danced in
almost every court of Europe, and even
to-day it is executed with great SPLEEN
dor and sOlemnity in many countries,
especially in Russia. Queen Victoria
has always been partial to reels, and
she admires the lightness and ability
displayed by skilful dancers. In her
youth she was a most graceful dancer
of the quadrille.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1899-07-31

In this brief glance at the history of
dancing 1 have made no reference to
the many movements that, in some sec
tons, are regarded as dances, for such
inventions as the Washington Pos"
the Berlin Polka" and similar inhar-
mOnious steps are simply the natural
result of the nd-of-the-century dete-
rioration in the art, for. instead of i'm
proving with time, the poetry of
motion has now become what one
writer has termed the limp shuttle
through a quadrille, a noisy romp or a
series of kicks, wriggles and hops dig
nified by the name of a Valse or
Highland schottische."
If the truth must be told, graceful
dancing disappeared with the knee
breaches, and it will not be revived
until the young people of the country
are willing to take their dancing les
sons seriously, in order that they may
learn to dance, not only from lightness
of heart, but also for love of the grace
and beauty of the movement.
Instead of being bad, dancing ought
in these days to be better than ever,
owing to the excellent character of the
music that is now provided, but as long
as the dancers themselves are indifIer-
ent to their appearance, no amount of
care on the part of the instructor can
remedy the defects that now make so
many of our social functions a night
mare to the person of poetic and art
istic temperament.
Perhaps the grace of the days of
knee breaches will return when the BIZ
cycle dance becomes popular The BIZ
cycle dance is native of Dublin
where Irish ladies wheel out to country
houses for an evenings spin and an
hour with terpsichore. In their short
skirts they are the picture of grace.

and all three of these dances are
highly recommended for bicycIists this
summer, as they are well calculated to

Bernard Peters, for many years editor

right, and 3 died from injuries.
While the gang plank, 40 feet long
and ten feet wide, was filled with 200
excursionists boarding the boat the
plank slipped off the shore throwing
all into the wstsr.
Scenes of indescribable horror fol-
lowed. A few people clung to the side
of the plank while others struggled in
the water, carrying each other to q
watery grave.
Fifty persons were taken from the
water unconscious and three of these
died later. Ropes and life preservers
were thrown out and those who did not
lose their heads clung. to lines and we're
brought safely ashore.
The widest excitement attended the
catastrophe. Men who were good
swimmers jumped into the water to
rescue the crowning and were obliged
to strike many into insensibility before
they would submit to being saved, so
great was their terror. The big rail-
road freight house was turned into q
morgue and bodies as fast as recovered
were laid side by side.
