And passing his hand over his head and mouth

And passing his hand over his head and mouth

Mr. Rarey concluded his first exhibition by beating a drum on Stafford’s back, and passing his hand over his head and mouth. Stafford was afterwards ridden by a groom, and showed the same docility in his hands as in those of Mr. Rarey.

Mr. Rarey succeeded on the first attempt in putting him in harness with a mare, although he had never had his head through a collar before; and he went as quietly as the best-broken carriage-horse in Paris. Mr Rarey concluded by firing a six-chambered revolver from his back. Paris Illustrated Journal.
