THE HORN DANCE. 169 



Three of them are painted white and three red, with the 

 arms of the chief families who have been landowners 

 in the manor. In the horn dance these heads are mounted 

 on poles and carried about by men in fancy dresses, who 

 cut various antics to lively dance music. Behind them 

 another quaint figure rides on a hobby horse and whips 

 up the deer, while last of all follows a man with a bow 

 and arrow, with which he makes a curious clacking noise.
