    35/224
    Back Circle.—Figs. 2 and 23.—Hold the club fig. 11. Up fig. 12. From there raise the club as in fig. 22 ; then turn it to the right as in fig. 23, holding the hand close to the right ear ; the elbow is well in front, almost level with the chin, fig. 23. Pay great attention to this position of the elbow, as it helps much in getting this circle perfect. From the position, fig. 23, let the club swing round behind the head in the direction of the dotted lines, figs. 2 and 23 ; but observe that when the club gets behind the head, as in fig. 24, the elbow changes its position and gets quite at the side, see fig. 24 ; the club then finishes its journey until it is again in position, fig. 22, with the elbow in front and ready to begin another circle.
