A new school of dancing has arisen.
The foremost of it's interpreters are
the Mccoy Sisters, the marvellous dan
GERS with Hoyt's "A Stranger in New
York" which ome to the opera house
next Monday, March Goth. Instead of
next Monday, March 20. Instead of ON
filming themselves to the conventional
and time-worn methods of dancing,
these wonderful artists have evolved a
multitude of seemingly impossible steps
and poses hat have succeeded in set
ting the entire theatrical world agog,
until now the anne of the Mccoy Sis
tiers are on %everyone's tongue. Amy
Muller, known as the dancing marvel,
is also a member Of this company, and
no company was ever more strongly
fortified with terpsichorean artists than
is Hoyts "A Stranger in New York"
In view of the conflicting reports
about the Barnum Il Bailey show, the
Register has received from the press
agent of the show in London, England,
the following statement, which will set
at rest all possible speculation as to
the future movements of the Barnum
Show, the deStinies of which are now
the subject of so much discussion. The
statement is ~singularly well-timed, in
view of the fact that it has been made a
limited company within a very recent
time, with a capital of $4,000 Tin G1
shares with 5 shillings premium, total
ing 81, 500, 000) and, to all intents and
purposes, will remain abroad as a per-
manent British institution-the latest
gift of America to England, thus adding
another link to the friendly chain
binding the two Anglo-Saxon countries
together.
1t must not be taken seriously that,
because the Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth has been foated in
England as a limited company, it has
entirely abandoned its first love-the
United States, for such contingency is
really too remote for serious considera-
ton. The true facts are, that the sue
cess abroad-both in London and the
Provinces of Greaet Britain-has been
so overwhelmingly great, it occurred
to everyone connected with the show
to make it absolutely a British affair
for all future time, with a permanent
home in England and extending the
seem of its preparations and exhibit
lions all over Europe. Furthermore, the
aim in view was to perpetuate the
firms name in Europe as well as Amer
lea, thus carrying out one Of the under
stood provisions of the partnership
agreement originally entered into by
the late Hon. P. I. Barnum and J. A.
Bailey.
By making the show a stock COM
pany the immense organization is kept
intact, the services of its valued and
trusted agents and employees in all de-
partments are retained, as they will all
receive gifts of shares, varying in
amount according to their different po-
sitions and terms of service, and they
can invest their savings in more II
they desire. In this way the employees
of every kind are bound together by
the ties of self interest as we'll as other
considerations, and, to some extent, a
a future prosperity for the individual
| assured. That is the plan to reward
merit and long service.
In no way could these results be OBJ
| tanned better than by a limited COM
pany, nor could the big institution be
so firmly established in another coun-
try by any other method. The opening
in Olympia, London. in 1878, for a
season of four months. the subsequent
tour of the provinces during the sum-
| mer. and the second season of exhibit
ton in London now just closing have
been so eminently successful in every
| way that it has fully justified the ad-
option of this course. Permanent win
ter quarters have been erected at Stoke,
similar to those at present existing in
Bridgeport, Connecticut, U. S. A. Rail-
way cars have been manufactured in
England to transport the show from
city to city, and the future operations
If the show will he conducted mon
: precisely tne same lines as those which
have beer in vogue in the United States
for half a century past, the field only
being changed from America to Great
| Britain and the continent Of Europe.
AS an evidence Of the great popu-
laritv achieved by the institution since
its advent in England. it may be stated
that before the time set for the closing
of the subscription books, the shares
were subscribed for nine times over,
and were quoted at the London Stock
Exchange at 5 shillings per share prem
ium-that is 80 shillings for each 81
share, which is premium upon a prem
ium. 1t is further stated that n Of
these days the big affair will revisit
the land of the free and the brave,
where the big show was born, reopen
