According to the book The Victorian Era Ball (1898), this dance was part of section of the evening titled “Inventions”. The book states: “This dance represented tele-phones and air-motors. The modern air-motor contrasted with the old Dutch windmill. This was illustrated by the ladies’ costumes, as well as by the figures of the dance. The gentlemen were dressed to represent telephones.”

Born in Oakville, Ontario in 1835, John Freeman Davis was a musician, composer, dance teacher and music store owner. He believed people from all social classes should learn to dance and claimed to have taught over 30,000 students. His compositions for ballroom dances include Great Pacific Lancers to celebrate the addition of British Columbia to Canada, Call to Arms Polka inspired by the Northwest Rebellion, and The New Premier celebrating the election of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. At age 65, he won the Grand Prize Diploma for dancing at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition.
