Martin Foy, dancing-master, takes this method of returning
his most unfeigned thanks to his friends and employers, for
the encouragement he has met with during his residence in
this city, and flatters himself that the improvement of his
pupils in the time past, will still add to his
recommendation.  --He has opened a school at the Assembly-
Room agreeable to his late advertisement.  Ladies and
gentlemen who please to honour him with their commands may
depend on his utmost assiduity and care in forwarding those
committed to his tuition, in the most elegant and
expeditious method, as well as discharging the trust reposed
in him, with all confidence and fidelity, and may be assured
his school will be conducted in a regular and polite manner. 
The days for public teaching are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays;  Misses at nine o'clock in the morning, and masters
at five in the evening.  The room will be illuminated each
of the evenings abovementioned, from 7 till 9, for the
reception of gentlemen only, whose time will not permit
their attendance at earlier hours.
  N.B. He proposes teaching gentlemen the use of the small
sword, in the most approved method, which he acquired by
practice and experience, under the instruction of the most
judicious swordsmen in Europe, and will give due attendance
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, in the forenoon; he also
teaches the violin and guittar.
