Richard Vaux had danced with Queen Victoria has been denied quite frequently since his death, but as a matter of fact he did dance with the queen. Ho was not her partner, it is true, but danced in what was known as tho queen's cotillon at the ball given in her honor in 1837, when ho was secretary sec-retary of the United States legation. J Mr. Vaux was selected by the queen herself her-self as one of the seven persons to join with her in the dance, a very great honor. In the course of the evolutions ! in the cotillon he danced with the queen. This statement was made by Mr. Vaux to a well known Pennsylva-nian Pennsylva-nian who served with him in the Fifty-first Fifty-first congress. Philadelphia Record. |
