balcony was reserved for whites.
The east half Of the "circle' had
more than enough seats for the Ne
groeS. LesSthan 100 seals were nee
eSSary for those who sat down.
They danced.
And one who has never attended
cakc-walk can conceive of such
dancing.
An old southern planter who was
there sworc that he has seen thou
sand Negro cakc-walks. but the one
Monday night had them all beat.
The decision on the cake-walk
contest was left to the audience, and
over 100 couples danced before the
dress circle for ten minutes. Then
by process of elimination the CON
teStanlS were reduced 10 six couples,
who for as many more minutes dis

The applause was tremendous.
