London and Manchester, in exposition of
his art of horse tanning, and in the former
place, after astonishing all bcholders by
his complete mastery of the most fierce
and manageable horses, exhibited his
tanning power upon zebra---with what

some venerable "wolly horse" who had
perhaps graduated in a circus, was about
to be introduced for the sake of novelty
and attraction. But all suspicion of tina.

ferocious animal, so beautiful, and yet so
terrible in his beauty, follow the great
horse tan.er reluctantly into the ring
