Circus Gymnasts and Riders

The best gymnasts are Americans
but the best riders are English, said a
manager. Robinson and Fish are both
wonderful riders ard both Americans,
but they never received that rudimental
training that gives afterwards such
grace and pose to the English profess
sional. Nine. Eloise DOckrlll is un-
ouestionably the greatest living rider,
and draws a salary Of $3.50 a week.
The first lesson q rider is taught Is
about the same as that taught an ac-
tor. aud for aught l know an opera
singer-lhat is, TO dance. They should
be thorough dancers and masters oil
motion before they are placed on a
horse. The greatest male rider Is
James Robiuson; he receives from $500
to 500 week. The greatest jockey
rider is Frank Gardiner. He is also the
most celebrated leaper. l was present
at Dubuque, Ia, in 1869, Tor the
championship belt aud on a wager OF
$500 with Mr.. Batchelder, he threw q
double somersault over thlrty-two
horses. His salary is $3.50 to $500 a
week. Gymnasts are numerous, some
very good, Others the reverse. Did you
ask about triple somersaulI? There
are 10 triple somersaullers It never
has been done. When any one tells
the contrary, put him down for a.
mistake. Two have a tried 1t, but

lasting through Wednesday and
Thursday. At noon of each day

given that were much enjoyed and
largely attended. Wednesday night
the beautiful japanese quilt that
we have before spoken of, was sold
