From the second position, raise the Clubs, as indicated in the figure,preparatory to executing simultaneously the Inner Back Circle with the rightarm, and the Outer Back Circle with the left. Let both Clubs fall together in the direction indicated by the arrowsat A A and B B, each describing their respective Back Circles, and movingexactly together in the same direction, and coming around again to the posi-tion shown in the figure. Now follow the lines C C, in the direction D D, with both Clubs inclose company, describing with the right a Front Outer, and with the left aFront Inner Circle, again coming around to the position shown in the figure.Now the Inner Backs ap^ain, then the Fronts, and so on alternately, and youhave the movement.
