CIRCUS MEN IN WINTER. WHAT BECOMES OF THE HEROES IN SPANGLES AND TIGHTS. Practicing Their Acts at Different Pointe. Schools Where Neighbors Are Trained. Home in a Practices Barn — Training Measures for the Ring. What do circus people do in winter? It seems strange that while the newspapers devote so much space to the myths and doings, the fortunes and misfortunes of actors and actresses, they meld or never refer to circus people, though, from the fact that the number of persons connected with every circus is many times greater than that comprised by the largest dramatic company, the sawdust folks are a more numerous class than the children of Thespis, while from the hamardons, gypry like character of their profession, their daily lives are fraught with much deeper romantic interest than those of the warriors of the sock and beakin. In Berlin, Vienna, Dresden, Hamburg, Paris, Lyon, and St. Petersburg there are large "winter circuses," where the sports of the arena may be enjoyed throughout the cold season, and the press of those cities devotes quite as much attention to the artists of the sawdust circle as to the votaries of the stage. PRACTICING BARN. If we visit Frankford, a suburban part of Philadelphia; Fordham, N. Y.; Newark, N. J., and West Chester, Pa., we shall learn the answer to our question: What do circus people do in winter! We shall find that they go to the barn to keep themselves warm, if not to put their head under their wing. To put it more plainly, there are maintained at each of the places I have named large "practicing barns," as they are technically called, supplied with regular forty-two feet circus ring, in which the circus people promote the circulation of the blood by practicing their acts all through the cold season. When a circus performer accumulates money he invariably invests it in a farm on which to pass his time when resting from his professional labor, and such people usually have a practicing barn of their own for individual use. Less fortunate members of the profession spend their winters at some one of the four places I have named, in order to enjoy the advantages for practice afforded by the public practicing barns, which are the property of some circus manager or retired performer. Not only do they practice their old acts, but they learn new ones as well, besides breaking and training new horses to the ring—a task of no inconsiderable magnitude. Every ruler is required by circus managers to furnish his own horses, and the principal artists usually keep from two to four. These they are compelled to maintain during the winter at their own expense. Young people Not only do they practice their old acts, but they learn new ones as well, besides breaking and training new horses to the ring—a task of no inconsiderable magnitude. Every rider is required by circus managers to furnish his own horses, and the principal artists usually keep from two to four. These they are compelled to maintain during the winter at their own expense. Young people desirous of becoming riders are also instructed in their own chosen profession in these practicing barns during the cold season. It was a strange sight that met my gaze as I strolled into one of these practicing barns the other day. A motley group of circus performers was gathered about the ring, in which a beautiful young girl of about 16 years was taking her first lesson in bareback riding. There were two or three handsome young women among them with their two or three husbands, and their two or three mothers, and their eight or nine little children, who do the fairy business when required. The father of one of these interesting families was in the habit of balancing the father of another of the families on the top of a great pole. The father of a third family often made a pyramid of both those fathers, with his youngest son for the apex and himself standing upon two horses for the base. All the fathers could dance upon rolling casks, stand upon bottles, catch knives and balls, twirl hand basins, ride upon anything, jump over anything and stick at nothing. All the mothers could (and did) flying acts upon the bareback steeds. One of them drove four in hand alone, in a Greek chariot, through every town in which she appeared. They all assumed to be mighty rakih and knowing, yet there was a remarkable gentleness and childishness about these people, a special inaptitude for any kind of sharp practices, and an untiring readiness to help and pity one another, deserving as much respect and as much generous consideration as the virtues of any class of people in the world. TRAINING HORSES "How are horses trained for the ring?" I asked. "You mean the horses upon which riders perform their feats? Well, to answer that question I will begin by saying that the best age at which to train a horse is from 5 to 6 years. In selecting one for the purpose you must first decide what kind of riding you wish to use him for. As you doubtless know, circus riding is of two kinds, namely, principal acts and manage acts. Principal acts are those in which the artist rides in a standing position and performs various acts, such as pirouetting, jumping and throwing somersaults over objects, etc. Principal acts may be ridden either upon the horse's bare back or upon a pad saddle. They may also be ridden as two, four or six horse acts, the former riding any of those number of horses all at the same time, or they may be hurdle acts, bars or hurdles being placed in the ring and the horse jumping over them." Manage acts are those in which a horse is ridden under an ordinary saddle by a lady or gentleman in a park riding dress, the object being, as the name of the act implies, to display the rider's skill in managing the horse. For hurdle riding you want the most spirited, dashing, high mettled horse you can get, but for any other style of principal act horses should possess little or no spirit, and should be of a dull, plodding, phlegmatic disposition that nothing can excite. Having selected your horse, the first thing is to bit him—that ridden as two, four or six horse acts, the performer riding any of those number of horses all at the same time, or they may be hurdle acts, bars or hurdles being placed in the ring and the horse jumping over them. "Manage acts are those in which a horse is ridden under an ordinary saddle by a lady or gentleman in a park riding dress, the object being, as the name of the act implies, to display the rider's skill in managing the horse. For hurdle riding you want the most spirited, dashing, high mettled horse you can get, but for any other style of principal act horses should possess little or no spirit, and should be of a dull, plodding, phlegmatic disposition that nothing can excite. Having selected your horse, the first thing is to bit him—that is, to make his mouth so sensitive to the bit that he will instantly respond to the slightest pressure upon it. This may be accomplished quickly with some, while others will require months." "Having been well bitted the horse is put into the ring, a roller or surcingle about his body and his head kept up by "bearing up" reins. His trainer, in the center of the ring, holds a long hinge rein attached to the bit. In this way he is taught that he must keep going round and round the ring's inner edge. Then the attaches of the circum practice vaulting upon his back till he is thoroughly accustomed to it and acquires what we call the balance of the ring. Then the paper covered hoops through which riders jump and the wide pieces of cloth called banners over which they leap are brought in, and he is made to pass under them till he will do so without the slightest tendency to shy or frighten. Then, if designed for a pad horse, the pad is placed upon him to accommodate him to it. Often, after all other stages of his education have been successfully passed, he will not submit to the pad, but will kick to such an extent that it cannot be placed upon him. He must then be taken out of the ring altogether."—Washington Star.
