A Famous Bareback Rider.

James Robinson, who for a long time held the title of champion bareback rider of the world, is spending his declining years on his farm in Missouri. He is by no means an old man, but has retired from the circus arena. He still has many of the valuable gifts that he received in many parts of the world, including those from Queen Victoria and the old Emperor William of Germany.. Mr. Robinson is the same little wiry mab that he always was. and, except for his hair, has not the appearance of being more than 40 years old.
