 ively.

 command :

 ter, thus forming by eights together. 



This command distinctly conveys to the mind of the rider 

 what is expected, and it can not be misunderstood. The 

 form of command sometimes used, " Center form eights," is 

 confusing to the riders, as they must consider another col- 

 umn besides their own; therefore it should not be made 

 use of.
