It was very simple, however. The two leading hors- es were especially trained to obey the signals of two grooms who walked along, in front of them. When these ` leaders came to a turning they fol- lowed the grooms and made a wide sweep, being i.'ollowed,'of course. by the remainder oi.'.the teams. so it was easy to handle the three or four teams immediately in front of the wagon and who really did the work of hauling it. circus nmvadma umm urn nu I'll.` individ T371` I,(rzul(-r.< ing at thv feet Ii:---- 1 in wisdom with Gmi ,-; V'(`_V and sh what i< nth of do -.'(-'m;n Y I \r up '.
