After the second circle left halfway/rollaway with a half sashay in
the B2 part, slide left with partner to a new couple.
It works!

Susan, you seem to know the dance well, how does the progression go?
I get
the couples crossing sides but then coming back again

This dance has been one of my favorites for a long time. The first
half for
its precision and the second half for its flow. With the tight
tune, it can
be magical!

I would second that.
In "Midwest Folklore" a fine book of Midwestern Dances (plug, plug),
edited
by the dance's author, Orace Johnson, it says of DuQuoin Races:
A2 Balance (4) (Women step forward across the set to take neighbor's
place,
while men loop right to take partner's place, thus forming long
wavy lines
with the women facing out, and the men facing in.)
Balance. Men cross set as women loop right.
I particularly like the contrast between the somewhat quaint and
formal
language of the explanation in parentheses with the curt,
efficient "Men
cross as women loop right".
