Martin Foy, dancing master, gratefully acknowledges the
favours hitherto conserted on him by his friends and
employers.  He still continues his dancing school, at the
assembly room, in Lodge Alley, and flatters himself that the
improvement of his pupils in the time past, and every part
of his conduct in his business, will gain him the
approbation of such a wish well to this accomplishment, so
necessary to the easy and genteel deportment of both sexes.
Ladies and gentlemen do honour him with their commands, may
depend on his utmost assiduity and care in discharging the
trust reposed in him.  The public may rest assured his
school shall be conducted in a regular and polite manner;
the strictest order and decorum will be observed.  And the
greatest attention given to improve his scholars in every
particular relative to proper behavior, at thirty shillings
entrance, and thirty per quarter.  His days for public
teaching are Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Misses at nine
in the morning, and masters at five in the evening.  At the
request of a few gentlemen who have already commenced, he
has opened a night school, for the reception of gentlemen
only, whose time will not permit their attendance at earlier
hours.  The room will be illuminated from 8 to 10 o'clock
each of the evenings of the days mentioned.  Ladies who
choose to be taught at their places of residence, will be
waited on at a pistole entrance, and a pistole per month. 
Any message sent to him at Capt. Nuttle's, in North's Alley,
will be duly attended to.
