 DANCING MASTERS DELIGHTED WITH LATEST FIGURES Instructors Demonstrate New Ideas Of TerpsichOrean Art
 At Convention Prof. Quilty's Original Spanish Dance" Meets With ApprOv- al-Banquet For The
 Masters

The second day of the Convention of the Eastern Branch of the Interna- tiona1 Association of Dancing Masters was even more successful than the opening day yesterday. This morning at Prof Quilsy's Dancing Academy at were demonstrated and taught by their originators. All are what might be classed as fancy ball room dances. The first one shown was called the ''Merry Turn by H. G. Smith of Plattsburg, N. Y. Then the 'Bingo" by Walter Wood of Binghamton, N. Y.; the ''Nevango," by Joseph Neville of Hartford; the Mohawk Four Step" by J. J. kilgallon of Schenectady, N. Y, and the Berkshire Three Step by w. F. Mcdonald of Pittsheld. This last named dance takes it's name from the fact that it is danced now exclu- sively in the Berkshires at the fash iorabIe summer colonies at Lenox, Lee and Stockbridge.
 These dances were all well receiv- ed, but the one which appeared to create the most enthusiasm was the Spanish Dance'' composed by Prof. Guilty for the Operatic Society of Bri dgeport at the time of it's produc- ton of the "Gondoliers".i It was dem- onstrated and taught this morning to the memb bers present by Prof. Guilty with Miss Dor1iska Chaffee as his rartner. It can be arranged for solo, duet or group dancing. But a meagre and inadequate idea @f the grace and beauty of the dance could be gained this morning, for as Prof. Guilty said, "A dance of this kind needs surround .ngs to make it a finished product. With Spanish costumes, castanets and tambourines the effect would be much more pleasing
 A banquet was rendered last night to the mem bers of the Association present by Prof. Guilty at the Colonial, Waters catering. During the course of the evening, speeches were made by M. J. Conway, Joseph Neville, J. J. KilgaI1on, Edward Connolley and M. Grinowetch. The main theme or their talks was depor tment and meth there was informal singing by sonae of the ladies present which disclosed some splendid talent.
 Some of the new arrivals for todays session of the convention were Will liam McDonald,- Pittsheld; MT. and Mrs M F. Collins, Milford; and H. J. Smith, P1attburg, N. Y.
 President Lovett said today, This has been by far the most successful gathering we have had for learning g new dances and exchanging ideas of teaching methods. It has been rather warm weather for us to work as we like to-. but it has not seemed to les sen the enthusiasm of any of the mem bers. I want to say that I have nev- CT been at any place where the news papers have treated us SO well. In many places our meetings have been considered as a burlesque and credit is not given us for the hard, earnest and serious work we do."
