Fry, the International cricket and football player, who is also an honorary commander in the Royal Naval Reserve and M.A. of Oxford University, a senior classical scholar of Wadham College, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Srciety. In an article written in connection with the British National Csmpaign for Physical Fitness, Commander Fry describes dancing as the premier physical fine art. “ Cculd the National Committee so promote the knowledge of good dancing tc- the point of our becoming danceminded. it would be doing more towards evolving a high stand-.rd of physical idea than in any other way open to it,” he says. “ That is my opinion; and whatever else I may be I am not a lounge lizard.” COMMANDER FRY WRITES:— Immemorially instanced in all cultures from , the most primitive (o the most elaborate, the premier physical fine art has bean the dance. GAMES AND ATHLETICS. If 1 had my time over again, knowing what I know now, I would have trained in dancing partly for its otyn sake, but mainly for the sake 'of improvement in gamps and athletics'.' Had I clone so. I would have been 20 per cent, a better stylist in cricket, football, running, and lumping, not to mention riding and shoofing. And on bare utilitarian results I should say I should have done 15 per cent, better. I use the personal argument because there is none other relevant. f , Walking is an activity quite common and ra'her necessary. To walk is natural. To walk well, it seems, is not natural. Stand for half an hour at the end of any main street in any town and judge for yourself. We V’-.lk .abominsblv. We could not do so. had we any' idea of what good movement should be. I have never seen yet a pood dancer who did not walk well. It is net possible... In sum: (1) Dancing is abundantly worth while for its own sake. . (2) Dancing is the best exercise ancillary to the first-rate grrne's. (3) Dancing is a fine tonic for mentality. WAREPA Miniature Rifle Club.—Annual Ball. Warepa Hall, Friday, June 16.
