In the horsc-training department there are sever
al persons OF note on their own hook. First We
have the elder karey, brother to the one in Eng
land who claims that he originated the svsten
that has been 50 successfully by his broth
en-, and makes his claim under circumstances wlicl
admit OF little or no doubt of their truth. Then VI
have Dr. Denton Onut who recently spent wccl
or ten days in your city. As YOU are aware h
claims to have been the first discoyerer and ad
duccs the testimony of several distinguished gentle
men as to his skill in quieting the most vicious hor
ses, as proof of his claim. And, last. Mr.. Lanier
of Alabama, sets up his claim and among them al
considerable amusement may be anticipated.
