A very delightful exhibition of dancing was given by the pupils of Madame Gulkevitch yesterday afternoon, in the Assembly Hall, Nantal. There was a large atten- dance, including many Chinese, and they had great treat. There was every variety in the performances, which included "A Country Feast in Russin," by all the children, a "Ballors' Hornpipe" by Stanley Moss and Potor Stapleton-Cotton, "The Chimney Sweeper" (Martha Havighurst) and "The Doll" (Gaby Soulange-| Tessler)," "The Wolf and the Lobster (Henry and Dorothy Lacy)," "Spring in the Woods" by Allco Lacy, Norine and Stanley Moss, and Cynthia Sokobin; and change one word to another and also representations of mechanical do it in par, a given number of toys, which called forth torrents strokes.
