A number that excited great admir-
alton and enthusiasm was the first,
a march in which the American flag
was prominent, and finally the form
alton Of 20. A. c." around which the
lnarchers waved old glory. This
was new, novel and superbly done,
highly appreciated.
The second number, a minuet, was
another that was unusually pleasing,
The sword dance by Mr., Thomson
caught the fancy Of the audience, but
there was so little that was not par
excellence that It Is impossible to
write aught but praise. The Norwe-
gian dances we're similar to those Of
yore, beautiful and illustrative Of
Norwegian method OF expression un.
der varying circumstances.
