The motions of the first class are made into the position of the dotted arms A and B, Fig. 15; of the second, into that of c and D; of the third, into that of E and F. Employ the Third Variety, p. 262, for each class. The fourth and fifth classes correspond respectively to those of Nos. 14 and 15. On each recovery of the commencing position, the bells will be brought together with sufficient force to mark the time. Third Position. No. 39. At the command, Third-PoSITION, the student will take the position of Fig. 16, in which the arms are extended directly front, their full length; the bells are held horizontally, with the balls near the thumbs together; and the backs of the hands are up. No. 40.—First Movements. The motions of this class are made directly back into the position of the dotted part of Fig. 16, the bells being turned completely over on each motion. At the command, RIGHT, the right arm will make this motion to the rear four times; then, at the command, LEFT, the left arm will make four corresponding motions to the rear; and finally, at the command, Вотн, eight of these motions to the rear will be made with both arms simultaneously, the same balls being struck together in the rear as in front, to mark the time. Fourth Position. No. 41. At the command, Fourth-POSITION, the position will be taken at the left side, as illustrated in Fig. 17, the balls near the thumbs being together, and the backs of the hands out. No. 42.- First MovementsRIGHT. At this command, the student will describe the dotted arc of Fig. 17, turning the bell completely over, and striking the balls together both in the front and in the rear, and recover the commencing position eight times. On the eighth motion to the front, however, at the command, LEFT, the position will instantly be taken on the right side, and the left arm will make eight corresponding motions from the position. FIG. 17. SECOND SERIES. First Position. No. 43.-The instructor will command: 1. Arm and Hand Exercise; 2. Second Series; 3. First-POSITION. No. 44. At the third command, the student will take the position of Fig. 18, with the arms by the sides, as represented by the dotted arms a and A. This is also the position of Fig. 6; see No. 11. No. 45.- First Move ments. The first motions the sides, and thus taking ously; then, at the command, ALTERNATE, these motions are made by alternation until the commencing position is regained the fourth time; when, at the command, ВотH, eight of the first and second motions are combined, the bells pausing in the commencing position only on the eighth combined motion. Second Position. No. 46. At the command, Second-POSITION, the student will take the position by elevating the arms into the position of the dotted arms в and B, in which the bells are vertical and the palms to the front. No. 47.-The number and order of the motions of this class of movements are the same as in No. 45. The first motions, at the command, FRONT, are made by turning the upper balls to the front, and down into the position of the balls в and в; the second, at the command, REAR, by turning the upper balls to the rear, thus placing the bells in a horizontal position with the palms up. No. 48.-Second and Third Movements (Wrists). In the second class of movements, the motions are made sidewise by the action of the wrists, the upper balls being pointed to the right and the left as far as possible, without changing the position of the arms, as represented by the wrists of the arms A and B, Fig. 19; in the second, the bells are turned into a horizontal position with the backs of the hands up, without changing the position of the arms, and the motions are made directly down and up as far as possible by the action of the wrists, as shown by the right arm of Fig. 46. For each of these two classes, employ the Third Variety, p. 262. must be remembered that the commencing position is only regained with each bell at a command of execution, or on each change in the order of making the motions. Third Position. B FIG 19. No. 49. At the command, Third-POSITION, the student will take the position of the solid arms c and c, Fig. 18, in which the bells, held vertically, are extended directly to the front, at arm'slength, in line with the shoulders. No. 50.--First, Second, and Third Movements. These three classes of movements correspond respectively to those of Nos. 47 and 48, the necessary changes in the words of command being made in accordance with the change of the position. Fourth Position. No. 51.-At the command, Fourth-POSITION, the arms will be extended vertically, with the thumbs to the rear, thus taking the position of the dotted arms D and D, Fig. 18. No. 52.-First Movements. The first motions of this class are made by turning the front balls out and back, thus reversing the position of the balls, carrying the thumbs to the front, and turning the backs of the hands within; the second, by turning the backs of the hands to the front and the thumbs out. The number and the kind of motions are the same as in No. 45. THIRD SERIES. First Position. No. 53. The instructor will command: 1. Arm and Hand Exercise; 2. Third Series; 3. First-POSITION. No. 54. At the third command, the student will take the position of Fig. 20, in which the forearms, held about four inches apart, cross each other, the right above the left, with the palms up. FIG. 20. No. 55.-First Movements. The motions of this class, which are all made in front of the body with the backs of the hands down, are reciprocating, one bell ascending at the same time that the other is descending. At the command, IN, first the right hands ascend and the left hands descend (thus being separated as far as possible in front of the body), when circles are described by the bells passing around each other, the descending bell passing within or nearer the body, and the elbows being bent in front of the waist, to permit the passage of the bells between them. The fourth time the bell in the right hand descends to the lowest point, the command, OUT, will be given, when the direction of the circles will be reversed, the descending bell passing without or further from the body. The fourth time the bell in the right hand reaches the lowest point, descending without, the command, ALTERNATE, will be given, when these motions will be made by alternation (the right hand first ascending without and descending within, and then ascending within and descending without), |
