RAREY, the American Horse Tanner, il at
Paris, aftor astonishing the sporting world of
England. The Emperor Is to give his plan a
trial, ard has instituted a commission of all
the best known names upon the turf at Paris,
the Prince Joachim Murat, the Due de Polgnac,
the Counts AguadO, de GrammOnt, de Morny,
&c, NC. Alter witnessing the success of Rarey
upon two or three restive animals whom he
speedily reduced to order, the great trial of
the day took place upon a we'll known entire
horse, called Stafford. This beast, which was
brought tor the express purpose Of the ex-
pertinent, from the government haros, or train
ing stables, of Cluney is to all appearance n
wild and untamed an animal as that on which
MaZeppa himself IL depicted to have met his
fate. lie WAS brought into Tattersall's yard
more in the guise of wild beast than of a
Creature supposed to be domesticated, and
certainly exhibited a disposition to do mischief
with his pins, both for ard and aft, ms well rs
with his teeth, which retained the bystanders,
despite their curiosity, Mt most respectful dis
tance. He was brought in with his eyes ban
daged, strongly muzzled, and a cavesson on his
mouth, held by two men, whose precautions
and the terror depicted In their facesd Sould
have made you suppose that they had a mad
dog under their custody, and were holding on
for their lives. The brute roared and below ed
like very lion, and his wicked eye literally y
shot FIRE when, with the greatest caution. they
at last ventured to uncover his head 1t is un-
necessary to say that he laid about him in all
directions on recovering the use of his optics
and woe betide the unfortunate wight who
found himself within less than a score of yards
or so OF his heels. His lunge out was terrific
OF this monster of horse, Rarey fearlessly
laid hold, and seemed by mere force of will
rather than OF muscle, to drag him after him
into loose box, where he shut himself up alone
for an hour with this agreeable and amiable
companion. Some of the spectators appeared
to think, not unreasonably, that he would
never come out again alive.
What passed between the couple while they
remained alone together, Of course we, who
were not in the secret, have no opportunity Of
learning but certain it is, that in the course
of an hour, Rarey made his appearance again
IN the yard. mounted upon the back of Stat
ford, who was all alive but not kicking, and
going along as quiet as lamb, with nothing
but a snaffle in his mouth For a beast who
was every now and then in the habit Of leaving
the marks of his heels on the ceiling of his
stable, and of his teeth upon every one who
approached him, this was pretty well, and in
fact, those who really knew what the animal
was could hardly believe their eyes when they
saw him under this new character. One of the
maxims of the stable which was taught in
my youth, when a rider, was never to trust a
restive horse" and wonderful stories are GER
tainly related how horses, supposed TO have
been tanned, will watch their opportunity 70,
weeks and even months after and do you q
mischief some day when you have forgotten
their old tricks, but they have not 1t is
astonishing what memory horses have fol-
such things. Whether Stafford conversion to
good breeding be as solid as it is sudden re.
mains to be seen; certainly it produced all the
effect of n miracle upon those who boheld it.
and confirmed all parties in their admiration
OF the American horse tanner and his wonder
full powers. Since the above and other cxhi-
bltions of the efficacy Of the system the com-
mission has made its report to the Emperor
who Immediately put down his name as a sub
scriber for 1000 francs, in testimony of his ad
miration. The terms demanded by Rarey for
the communication of his secret are, that list
of 800 subscribers, at 30 francs each, should
be filled up, when he will at once proceed t,
initiate them into the mystery. A letter has
been published in the Paris papers, detailing
the wonderful effects produced by causing a
restive horse to inhale the breath of human
lungs, and il is asserted, whether truly or not
L cannot pretend to say, that some such opera
tiOn forms the basis of Rarey's treatment.
