- Billy Lynch Wins First Prize Buck and Wing Silver Medal
Brooklyn Daily Eagle Jan. 27, 1900, p. 9: The Bijou Theatre was crowded to the doors last night with an audience interested in the play, In Old Kentucky, and especially in the contest for a prize for buck and wing dancing between a number of Brooklyn amateurs, who appeared in the stable scene in the second act and displayed their saltatorial skill. There were ten in all and the variety of steps they accomplished evoked the wildest enthusiasm from their many admirers in the gallery. Marriott T. Dowden and two newspaper men acted as judges. The prize for skill was awarded to William Lynch of this borough. This is the second year he has won the prize, which is awarded by the In Old Kentucky company, and consists of a silver medal.
