NEXT yEAR.s DANCES.

| A jury of dancing experts, says q London Dispatch to The Philadelphia 1 Ledger. sat for six hours recently con l stdering the new seasons dances. The 1 jury represented the members of the United Kingdom Alliance of Profes- sional Teachers of Dancing, who have been conferring in London. That a l judicious selection of dances might be made, the delegates were required to master the intricacies of the twenty
 seven dances entered for the competi- tion before voting. The three new dances. round, square
 and display on which the diploma of
 adoption Is conferred. become the stan dard dance for the year aud arc of- ficially copyrighted by the alliance.
 The selection of a new round dance was the first duty of the committed
 who voted in favor of the "Lansddion.' ?
 graceful waltz variation invented by
 J. B. McEwen, a Glasgow dancing master.
 The choice of square dances was
 more limited. Four couples glided through the Society Cotillion.' pret-
 ty dance set to waltz time, with A graceful minuet movement. In the
 third figure the grand square used
 in the old lancers was successfully in troduced.
 Something quite new in cotillions,' was the verdict of the professional
 jury. who conferred their diploma of
 merit on It's inventor, T. Almond. of Darwen.
 The choice of a new display dance proved a more difficult matter. the con- ference being divided between a very effective Spanish Castanet," also in- vented by Almond. and a quaint Japa- nese fan dance, The Bijou Gavotte.' by A. Cowper, of York. danced by twelve ladies In Japanse dress Spain won the day. and the Spanish castanet" will be the fashionable dis | play dance next winter
