THE MARCH BY PLATOONS.

Previous

The first couple lead the march up the center of the room. As they reach the top, the first couple passes round to the right; the second couple to the left; the remaining odd couples in their order to the right, and the even couples following to the left. All thus march down their side of the room, until they meet in the middle at the bottom. There they turn up the center again four abreast. Arriving at the top, the first four wheel round by the right; the second four wheel round by the left, and so on alternately, each division marching down its side of the room. When they meet at the bottom, they advance up the center again, eight abreast. At the top of the room the first and third eight wheel to the right, and the second and fourth wheel to the left, each succeeding eight wheeling right and left alternately, down the sides of the room, meeting at bottom, and marching up the center sixteen abreast, thus forming full lines. At the top of the room all halt, the first, third, etc. (odd) lines face all to the right; the second, fourth, etc. (even) lines all to the left, the gentlemen step up by the side of their lady partners, and the front line marches off in couples to the right, the other lines following in their track, in the same manner as in the March in Columns, and finishing in the same way laid down in that march.
