A model for a uniform, gravitating, ellipsoidal star cluster moving in a circular orbit around the Galactic center is considered. Three independent isolated integrals of stellar motion are written for this model. The characteristic features of the motion of a cluster star according to these three integrals are analyzed. Retrograde stellar motions dominate at the periphery of the model cluster, and the distribution of the stellar velocities is elongated along the direction of the cluster motion. A phase-space density function that depends on two of the integrals of motion is constructed. The distribution of the stellar velocities is constructed for the case of a three-integral phase-space density. Possible applications of the results are discussed.
