WALTZING MATCH.
Thh Matin publishes an account of an • extraordinary waltzing match in which eight couples took part at Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy. The dancers commenced at ten o'clock in the evening, and did not cease until they were compelled to do so from exhaustion by mid-day on the following day, when there remained only two couples in the contest. ■ The jury ordered the termination of the match which had lasted fourteen hours, and Regaldi, who was adjudged champion, fainted immediately afterwards. The waltzers were allowed to change their partners during the contest.
