Last week as one of the horsemen was exhibiting a
performance, called sweeping the ground with his el-
bow, and leaping the bar in the same attitude, his
horse fell in the leap flat on his side, which frighted
all the company, and particularly some ladies into
fits. The ladies and the horsemen disappeared, and
the company suspected he had broke his leg, or, at
least, had bruised himself very much; but in a few
minutes the ladies and performer appeared, when he
sprung on his horse, and went through the remainder
of his performance seemingly unhurt.
