"After years spent in the study of all forms of dancing, says Quigley, “I have come to the conclusion that eccentric dancing is the most difficult and most artistic of them all. riccentrlc dancing Is, at the bottom, euaracter dancing, As to character dancing being artistic, I believe that as the greatest acting is found In character work, so the greatest dancing Is found In charcter dancing. Primarily the different dances have their origin witii the various nations. They Indicate as much as the music of a people, the character of the nation from which they spring. For Instance, we have the Highland Fling of the Soots, the barbarous whirling of the Dervishes, the Indian War Dance, the dreamy waltzes of the Soutiiern countries and finally the sensuousenss and passion so the Far Fast. It is Interesting to watch the effect the different dances will have on various audi ences And this holds as well »or individuals In an audience. And then the different parts In which passion Is the basis will appeal more strongly to the South than to the North and while educated Boston would enjoy the state ly minuet.

In the Eng lish public school and university, the great majority of students share active ly In sport of some kind Pricket foot ball. boating, tennis, each has its vo taries, and there are few who are not concerned In one or t.ie other of them. In the American college those who ac tually take part In some form of sport are not many, but a good share of the rest are keenly concerned In what Is going on. Competitive athletics affords | a constant theme of absorbing interest, comparable only to the eager attention given to horse racing, ot professional j baseball by a considerable number of ih*» general community. The chances ot j the teams, the merits of the mdivMti il I members, are discussed with s**st. and the games ate attended with an excite ment which carries all before It. Ath letic# in the public mind has become ut | most a synonym for coellge life. It Is therefore quite natural that Rida Johnston Young in her play of*Brown of Harvard which the Sluiberts wilt present st the Grand. matinee and night during this month «houl<\ have seized upon an athletic contest' as a • Umax. The boat race scene Is doubt - ! less well remembered by all theatre i goers, who saw the piece last season. The cast Is composed mainly of college men. most o» them varsity athletes In their day.
