THE "TANGO" IN COURT.
RIVAL PERFORMANCES BEFORE A JUDGE. A sequel to the campaign against the new styles of dancing was witnessed recently in the court at Cleveland in a suit by "Professor" Asa Anderson against the Chief of Police, Mr. Howe, and Mr. Myers, inspector of music* halls (writes the New York correspondent of the "Daily Mail"). The "professor" applied for an injunction against the authorities who had forbidden him to teach or dance tho "Tango" in his academy; and Ise asked permission to give a performance in court. Tlio judge granted this 'request, and the performance was given before some '100 spectators. "A truly beautiful dance," observed tho Judgo, ' "Nothing could bo more freo from immoral suggestion." On behalf of tho Chief of' Police, Mr. J. Gregory Kccno, of Chicago, danced the "Tango" before tlio Court, as the police claim it will bo danced if ihe injunction is granted. At the conclusion Mr. Koene argued that his version of the "Tango" was the popularly accepted one, while "Professor" Anderson eontended that Mr. Keene's version was in no sense a "Tango." The Judge reserved his decision.
