THE RORBE.TAMER AND THE ZEBRA.

Mr. Raley, the Celebrated American horeskinglir,
whose Seats have already attracted the notice both of the
public and the pram of the United Kingdom, ••••Tord his
school in Kianertra-strest yesterday, Sor Gas lying lecture
previous to his departure for Maschaster, Liverpool, and
floodand. On this omegas the little theatre was filled with
the proheser's most distinguished pupils, and the result of the
lectern was to ocarinas every an. prgoent that his system
is *bogy sound and legidcate—sound in principle, and
sound he application ; that it is based on a life-long °Werra-
tion of the equine' idiosyncrasy, physiological, and psycholo-
gioal, end that there is not one particle of quackery or empi-
Haim in it from beginning to end.
In the course of the most interesting lecture which Mr.
Item delivered yesterday, and which was all the more ins-
reisive bemuse it was delivered in an sexy. natural manner,
sad with intrinsic evidence that the speaker believed every
word be uttered, he called attention to the fact that the most
unruly harem in the world were those of South America,
where they were caught by the lasso and controlled by the
spar; and that the most docile and obedient were the Arabian
horns, which were treated as friends and companions by their
wild Bedouin master, shared the latter's frugal dish, and often
slept with his infant children. The hone, he said, was an
sahnal of fine nervous organisation, and having much more
betalligence than his master would give him credit for—seem-
those much more than the tad master himself could boast of
--soot to being him into Gemplete ogitrodos in a lmen*
imam is mss very asseseary that dos attienehei dada be

was then introduced, beefing on his body more then use

lamb, &Abets; his teacher about the arena like a dog, atop-
ping grim be pointed his finger, lying down when he wag
told, rising again when ha obtained permission, sad doing
WI
this in • mild, good-humoured sort of way, as if the wih
to oblige woe the sole ruling motive, and that the now dodie
Cruiser wog unaware that there were such things an whips or
spars In the world. Mr. Rarey exhibited the terrible array
of bile and muzzles with which Cruiser's first towhees
hod sought to bring him to reason, and gave one
or two interesting partionlars of his own early
Interviews with the ferocious animal. Cruiser's
habit, it appears, was to scream and yell when any
zee appreac.hed Igoe, to smash up his stall " into lacifsr
matohes," and to attempt to bite end destroy every living
thing In his neighbourhood. When he Ina to be fed or
watered the first proceeding with his groom was to saratola
by gawking a loag pole in at the stable-door who the'
enemy stood, and than to deposit the food, shut the door,
and vanish as soon as possible. Mr. Rarey changed all this
in a roommit. He ordered the stable-door to be thrown open,
Wandered Mowed according to his system, which is the very
quintesesace of Chesterfield, to his new friend without •
usamssfs delay, and in half-an-hour the indomitable Cruiser
might be redden by a child, could listen tranquilly to the beat-
tag • drum, and stand unappalled, even if Mrs. Clamp
were to flourish her most imposing umbrella in his ism
Cruiser, it is true, was a little out of condition yesterday, tad
his eye had a somewhat saddened expression, but hie natural
rooms for former turbulence wee raiment to amount for
those little symptoms, and the promptitude and dexterity
with which he performed all that wee required of his. by
his meter, proved to demonstration that if ha had
beanie • ladder, ha vas also a wiser, horse than
formerly. Aa ordinary hackney, the property of • gentlemen
present, wee then introduced, and satisfactory evidence
diving been given that he hod only received his first lesson
en Balarday lag, he wee duly submitted to the civilising
proem, Mr. Reny lo:teeing as he proceeded, and giving a
deer, satidectory, and sensible reason for everything he did.
This horse followed him about, lay down at the word of corn-
mood, turned over on the other side at • motion of the finger,
allowed Mr. Remy to sit on his withers, to plea his head
between his hind legs, to knock his fore legs together, and,
finally, to beg • drum all round him. In this awe the pupil
was in the beat of humours all through the lesson, indeed
was quite frisky and playful, volunteered an encore of the
lie down and turn over movement, and embed to be quite
eabilarated with the consciousness of his own manifold ac-

compliehments.
But the greet novelty of the day was the introduction of
the Zebra of the African desert, the latest pupil in Mr.
ILexey's school, end one with which, although he tud-
seately expects to drive him through Hyde-park, he yet
makes be account to have a great deal of trouble. The ore-
ehnen btrodueed wee the most beautiful four-footed beset
we have ever seen, with his perfect symmetry of form,
bright glossy omit of the richest cinnamon end deepest
bleak, sad a pair of eyes that dashed lurid fire as he mode
his appearenes in the lists. This pupil is @all only in the
rediments, emil yells out his " Proprie quo maribus" in •
most uncivilised manner when politely requested to
go through his task. But be does it nevertheless,
lies down when be is told—though not with the
great sad readiness of his mom dvilised school-

fellows—tom emir with a helpless whine of dap& wadi
