acquainting the public, that he has changed his hady of
teaching at the Lodge-rooms, to Tuesdays and Saturdays, as

for teaching the use of the small-sword; from ten to one
o'clock for the young ladies dancing; from two to five in
the afternoon, the use of the small-sword taught to those
gentlemen, who cannot attend in the morning; from five to
seven for the instruction of young gentlemen in dancing;
from seven to nine for such persons as may have forgot, or
had not an opportunity of leaning to dance very young; they
may be taught a genteel address, with a proper carriage, if
they do not choose dancing, or any of the modern dances.

on ladies or gentlemen, for dancing or fencing, at their own
houses, or if more agreeable, at his, in Lombard-street,
near Third-street.  An evening school, on those days, from
