Mr. Thomas Turner begs leave to inform the public, that he
proposes opening a Dancing and Fencing Academy, at the
Assembly-Room in the Broadway: those ladies and gentlemen,
who please to favour him with their company, or who chuse to
have their children instructed, may be assured of his
attention, and that he will exert himself to render his
school respectable, and to merit the confidence they may
please to place in him.  He proposes to attend the Dancing-
School on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 10 to 1 o'clock;
Wednesdays and Saturdays, he proposes devoting the same
hours to those gentlemen, who wish to be instructed in the
use of the small sword.  He retains a grateful sense of the
favours conferred on his brother (who moved with
considerable reputation in this line, some years before the
revolution) by the polite circle in this city, and by his
attention and abilities in his profession, he flatters
himself they will extend their protection and favours to
him.  Mr. Turner will be found at Col. Sear's, near the
Fort, where he will be happy to receive the commands of
those ladies and gentlemen, who wish to converse with him on
the subject.
N.B. Among Mr. Turner's Cotillons are a number of modern
figures, not hitherto introduced in this place.
