Because of the Gay and Gaudy picture that Tho Nemo circus conjures up and because is pre eminently the Era of youth it came As a delightful Surprise to find in mme. Marentette. A horsewoman who has lived in Tho Saddle for More than two score How much More it would not be Gallant to to behold in this elderly woman Ono of the most famous of her profession and one who is still equal to wresting laurels from the brows of the younger generation of circus riders.

Marentette giving an explanation of her Fine jumping. Now my idea of jumping is to take a horse Buck thirty or forty feet have him go slowly and talk to him All Tho time then let him measure the distance Gat Tho right take and nine times out of ten he will go Over As clean As a whistle. Slanco Riding became a business with it has ceased to be a pleasure and some times i really Long to get out into the open with a Good horse where i can ride just As i want. It is a great nervous Strain to belong to a circus for the acts Are very Short and in the limited time each rider must show his or her horse off to the Best advantage and after making a Quick exit change costumes and ret ready for the next act do i Ever ride certainly not opinion in that women should not at never intended to sit in tent it.
