acquainting the public that he has changed his days of
teaching at the Lodge-Rooms to Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays, as he can accommodate the young gentlemen of the
Academy with the whole afternoon on Saturdays.  He attends
there from half-past five in the morning to 10 o'clock,
teaching the use of the small sword; also from ten to one
o'clock, teaching dancing to the young ladies, from two to
five in the afternoon, the use of the small sword for those
gentlemen who cannot attend in a morning.  From five to
seven, the young gentlemen instructed in dancing.  From
seven to nine o'clock in the evening, for such persons as
may have forgot or had not an opportunity of learning 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.
The Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays he purposes to attend on
ladies or gentlemen for dancing or fencing at their own
houses, or if more agreeable at his in Lombard-Street, near
Third-Street.
