How TO MAKE A HORSE SURE FOOTED.—A
singular account of the manners of the ancients breaking
in their horses, and rendering them sure footed when
galloping over the most irregular and dangerous grounds, 1
is related by Vegetius. The Parthian horses were lighter
and hardier than those of the Cappadecians or Modes,
and were the best war horses. A spot of dry level
ground was selected, on which various troughs or boxes
tiled with chalk or clay, were placed at irregular dis-
tances, and with much irregularity of surface and of
height. Here the horses were taken for exercise, and
they had many a stumble and many a fall as they g.l-
ped this strangely unevea course; but they gradually
l'
learned' to lift their feet higher and to bend their knees
better, and to step sometimes shorter and sometimes
longer, as the ground required, until
u, and thezocsotldrecgaurlrayr their riders with ease ,afetx- over the
and dangerous places. Then it was that the lt
a
could fully put into practice their favourite
manoeuvre,
awl turn upon and destroy their unsuspecting foes. The
e;
were as formidable in flight as in attack, and would ofte-
n
turn on the back of the animal and pour on their pur-
suers a cloud of arrows that at once changed the fortune
of the day.:
TESTIMONIAL TO CAPTAIN BINSTEAD.--Ne per-
ceive that a testimonial to Captain Binstead, the late
superintendent of the Yorkshire district of the Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire railways, is now in course of signa-
ture in this town. Tbis document is expressive of the
high esteem in which the gallant captain is held for the
kindness, courtesy, and efficiency which he has uniformly
manifested in the important office which be has recently
held under that directory, in providing for the accommo•
dation and security of the public, in which the interests
of the company are intimately associated. The trsti-
menial has already received numerous signatures. In
these are embract.d the names of Members of Parlia-
ment, the whole of the members of the Doncaster Town
Council, and, strange as the fact may appear, two mayors
of this borough, viz., Fred( rick Fisher, Esq., whose pe-
riod of office has just expired, and William Dunhill,
Esq., who was yesterday appointed his successor. We
can only repeat, on our own part, that Captain Binstead
is fully entitled to the honour of this popular manifesta-
tion of fweling ag..911'4.°49Pt-7,Pen9a44r GO7yage.. •
