The fancy dances performed by the pupils were, in the main, astonishingly well executed ; indeed, it seemed almost incredible that such tiny specimens of boy and girlhood, as were many of the pupils, could have been brought tosuch proficiency. Their performances were such as to give additional ec/at to the profes- sional reputation of Prof. Munder. ¢ conclusion of these exercises, the floor was thrown open to the company gener- ally, and was soon occupied to its fullest ex- tent by the happy and fashionable assem- blage, and the dancing was kept up until the gray of merning to the time of Weber’s fine performed of our large cities, where chinery, scenic, posed to be mo; Miss Louisa Pyne as Cinderella, and Mr. W.
