a horse new y the ring is to be broken
in he must - taught TO put his left foot

be preserved that nice equilibrium nee

is val iosined, 80 that the eQuestrisn's
feet win not slip from the moist skin Of
the animal, for steady foothold is re-

bopemanship seen at Barnum's Circus.
Antony walked round the ring, never
tsking his eye from the horses for an
instant, and mapping his long whip, that
carried obedience with every snap. 4
young fellow rode stallion, bareback,
several times round, but banner fright
ened the animal and he broke from his
even gait. The rider fell heavily on the
wooden guard about the saw dust, and
was severely bruised. Pluck conquered,
however, and in few moments he was
at 1t again. apagl ssl ~
