How Circus Boys are Trained.

Lottcr in London Pail Mall Budget
/ can corroborate from an indeliblc
rocollcctlon what Mr.. Whittingham
says about the barbarous cruelty by
which circus boys are taught to per-
form their tricks for the amusement Of
the public. Ionce went into we'll
known circus in the daytime-it is for
better known circus than Ginnctte's,
but 1 shall not name it, as I do not
wish to be obliged to prove my words
in a court of law-and saw poor lit
tic devil Of about eight or ten years of
age going through his morning drill in
the ring. He had nothing on but a
shirt and pair Of trousers, and he had
to mako certain number of somcr-
sarlts, five or six, without stopping,
from one line drawn in the dust to an
other. In order to come back to his
starting line he had to pass every two
or three minutes, giddy and painting, be-
tween the cushioned ring and n
gentleman, one of the propri-
tors of the circus, who held
in his hand long, heavy, cutting
whip, such as l imagined cowboy
might use to subdue buck Jumper. If
the little begger performed the pre-
scribed number of somersaults Mr..
Merryman let him pass with smile and
one-only one-long, playful cut across
tho shoulders, a righteousness which al
ways elected howl from tho victim and
grin from the grooms. But if hc
failed in one Of his somcrsaults, if, as
often happened, the little arms were too
weak to support the body in the reverse
position, then the cruellest jockey that
ever sat down to finish by neck was
angel compared to Mr. Mcrryman. The
long cutting whip travelled, with an in
describably horrible sound, from the
napo of that child's neck to the calves
of his legs, and the tlimsy cotton shirt
and ragged breeches were little or no
protection. was only boy then, and
could do nothing but go away sick.
From that day to this 1 have never been
able to go to circus.
