ART OF THE
CIRCUS RIDER
THE TRAINING MUST BEGIN IN CHILDHOOD

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 4, 1895.-There
is never a moment when a rider in the
circus ring is entirely free from danger.
Of course the various feats become easy
enough of accomplishment after long prac-
tice, but the performers can never be sure
at what moment all their skill and expe-
rience will be set at naught through some
failure of the horse to do what is expected
of him. Suppose horse SHES while the
rider is standing on his back preparing for
spring. The chances are ten to one that
fall will result, and yet there is no sure
way of knowing when horse is about to
shy. The most trifling thing may cause
him to do so-a sudden crash of music, the
fall of programme thrown carelessly into
the ring, ray of sunshine striking him
unexpectedly in the eyes, the creaking of a
pulley, any one of a hundred things,
swerving few inches to the right or left,
sudden dart forward. will be more than
sufficient to upset the delicately poised
equilibrium.
Therefore, the art of falling is one of the
most important and it is also one of the
most difficult of mastery among the circus
riders accomplishments. 1t is always
easy to recognize veteran circus-rider in
the way he falls. AS soon as he sees that
the situation is hopeless, that he must go
down, his hands shoot for his knees like a

LONDON, May 20, 1S95.-There is no
greater treasure-house of all that is good
and beautiful in art manufacture than
Windsor Castle. Whether we consider the
pictures, the furniture, the plate, bronzes
Dart, with which its rooms are literally
crowded, we can come to but one conclu-
sion. There is nothing of an inferior char
acter. On entering the royal residence by
the grand entrance and staircase, so splen-
didly decorated by the jubilee presents and
the trophies of old arms and armor, we
find facing the full-length marble statue of
George ", by Chantrey, curious and
beautiful Burmese dragon gun. This was
taken with others from King Thebaw's
palace at Mandalay. 1t is mounted on a
carriage of English workmanship made at
Woolwich, for another gun which was
taken from Burmese pirates.
As will be noticed, the name Dragon" is
bestowed on the gun from its pattern, the
muZzle being shaped to resemble a dragons
head and the design continued throughout
the weapon until the breech is finished by
a curved, scaly tail. But leaving for the
admiration of experts the general collec-
ton, we will proceed to notice some few
objects of truly historical interest in the
private apartments.
The first in chronological order, which
hang in a quaint little badly lighted cham
Der. seldom visited except by the royal
family and their friends, and known as ''the
Chapel Retiring-room, are some curious
portraits by Holbein, Janet and other old
masters. They are mostly of small size
and set IN plain, narrow gilt frames.
The colors are unfortunately somewhat
faded by time. Here, as central figures,
may be seen Henry VIII and the unfortu-
nate Anne Boleyn, painted by. Holbein.
Henry as in all the well-known portraits,
wears his fiat embroidered hat with feath-
cred edge, and gaZes with bluff and sturdy
countenance composedly at the spectator
A curious feature of the portrait (possibIy
an error of the painter) is that the right
eye is distinctly smaller than the left.
Anne, his consort, owns long, oval face
with rather dreamy expression; also
charming bust and shoulders Suspended
from a handsome necklace she wears
Jeweled pendant in the form of the letter
B. Probably this was present from her
royal swain in early, happy days.
Attached to the wall, between these two
portraits. is a most daintily- wrought little
bracket-clock, which was presented by
Henry to Anne, on the morning of their
marriage, January 25, 1888. The design of
the clock is very elegant and might well
be mistaken for modern French work. The
material is richly chased ormolu. At the
summit of the domed top is lion rampant
supporting shield engraved with the
royal arms of England quartered with
those OF France. On the bracket seven
busts in costumes of the period are en-
bossed in low relief. They probably repre-
sent some members of the royal family.

An idea of the Great Railway Company

The Canadian Pacific Railway Company
has introduced into this City through the
medium of its local agency a decidedly
Canadian idea, and railroad men about
town are puzzled at Agent Stern's look of
contentment and quizzical smiles.
The Canadian corporation in its wisdom
has evolved the idea, and now every office
of the company displays in a conspicuous
place an ornamental leather frame con-
tanning an admonitory motto for every day
in the month.

ticularly devout mood he displays a sign.

II remember the worst fall ever had as
distinctly as if it were last week, although
really it was several years ago. It seems
queer, but it happened when I was sitting
astride my horse, walking round the ring

something made the horse shy, and before
l knew it was gone, lifted up in the air

reads like this: Levy J. North, the

stand on one foot and ride three times
around the ring without a REIN Of course

" Has any rider dared to try double
somersault on horses back?'
II don't think so, and am very sure no
one has ever succeeded. You know
single somersault on horses back is no
joke, and was done for the first time by
the merest accident. The rider was the
great-grandfather of our present champion,
De Mott, and when he did it he intended
TO throw somersault so as to land on
the ground, but he made wrong
calculation and struck the horses
back on his knees. After that he
did the same thing on purpose
and finally succeeded in landing on his
feet. The only possible way OF doing a
double somersault mounted would be for
the rider to stand well back on the horse
facing the tail and then do what we call a
double backward back. You know back
somersault is always easier than a forward
one. But even SO, should hate to be the
man to try double on horse"

said my neck was broken; but it wasn't.
1t was pretty badly wrenched, though, and
l carried my chin pressed against my body
for weeks afterwards. You can be sure if
l hadn't got up some fine speed on that
turn there would have been another dead
circus rider"
"Do you mean that circus rider can
make himself turn faster or slower after he
is in the air 2" I asked.
Certainly I do; that is the most i'm
portant part of somersault work. You see,
no matter how good a man is, he can
never leave his horse for turn with ex-
actly the right amount OF spring. Some
times he will throw himself little too
hard. and other times not hard enough; it
depends partly on how he feels. and partly
on the way the horse is going. Well,
when he finds himself in the air, say half
way around on the turn, he feels-that
is, all good circus riders do-by a
kind of instinct, whether he is turn
ing too fast or not fast enough,
SO as to land right on the horse.
Besides that, he can see most
of the way round just where the horse
is and by practice tell whether anything
is wrong. Now, suppose be wants to
slacken his speed little, he simply lifts
his head straight up, or even little back,
and that acts like putting on a brake.
Then, if he sees he is too slow, all he has
to do is to bend his head down on his chest

In another case stands magnificent

The seat and part of the back of the throne,

MEXICAN EXPOSITION,
Viscount r.. de CorneIy Has Absolutely
No Rights as far as America
Is Concerned.

A. K. Coney, Consul General of Mexico
stated yesterday that he was just in re-
ceipt of letters from the City of Mexico
giving the information that arrangements
were progressing satisfactorily toward the
opening of the Mexican Exhibition on the
nd day of April, 1896, but that an extern
sion of from two to three months time
had been granted to European exhibitors.
Viscount R. de Cornely is at present in
Chicago trying to organize syndicate to
buy the right of representing the foreign
department of the Mexican Exposition as
far as America is concerned.
''Cornely is still director OF the foreign
department for Europe" said the Consul
General, "but for the United States he
gave all his rights to the American Expo
sltlon Company and has not the right to
sell an inch of space or to grant a single
concession as far as this country is con-
cerned. The Governors of number of
States have appointed commissioners to
confer with the Mexican Exposition Com
pany, but they have no power beyond that.
"While was president of the American
Exposition Company" added Mr.. Coney,
the commissioners appointed for Califor-
mia did not confer, and therefore did not
exercise the only power vested in them.''
