, At Philadelphia, there are places appropriated for the young people to dance in and where those whom that amusement does not suit may play at different games of cards, but at Philadel- phia games of commerce are alone allowed. A manager or Master of Ceremonies presides at the 214 COLONIAL DAMES AND GOODWIVES. the methodical amusements ; he presents to the gentlemen and lady dancers, billets folded up containing each a number ; thus fate decides the male or female partner for the whole evening.... All the dances are previously arranged and the dancers are called in their turns. These dances, like the toasts we drink at table, have some re- lation to politics ; one is called The Successful Campaign, another Bourgoynes Defeat, a third Clintons Retreat. The managers are generally chosen from among the most distinguished offi- cers of the army. Colonel Mitchell, a little fat squat man, was formerly the manager, but when I saw him he had descended from the magistracy and danced like a common citizen.
