hiF RaIey's NIo,hod Of Training Houses

"',Uu'""N "hd inNariahle success, took place al
Use Aih'uiFa, In Leicester square, on SATURDAY
"t'erhoon, a numerous and fashionable eompan,
ol hSc''lors was there assembled. Mr. RaTey
since h'' former appearance in London, has mad
u Ne'0HNns Progress through the continent o
I EuTope, winning tokens Of royal and imperial ap
ProUAi,on, as well rs the patronage of every M
uoI, chivRlry from Paris To ST. Petersburg.
Inc instrument by which any man OF CONNIE
rnt strength aud agility may wrcstls dowa an,
morse, and quite exhaust the spirits o, me nOhli
brute IN tie course or an hour or two, consists
OF nothing more than pair of buckle,straps, q
be deStcrously adjusted 10 the furo legs Tn,
| arena must 10 thickly covered with sawdust o
tan, and tho usual leather coverings put ON th,
horses knees, in order To protect him from injury
y hter's head must he secured by fastening tn
rcins back to the surcinglc.
Mr.. Rarcy begins by coaxing the animal speak
ing kindly TO him, and looking pleasantly ut him
then coaxirg and pa,Iing his shoulders with II
guileless air, until watching his opportunity
hc can suddenly lift the near fore leg and taking
the first strap unobseryejly out Of his pocket
iasten 1t below the pastorn and half way ahov,
the knee. From that moment, the limb being
doubled up, the horse can only hop painfully OF
three legs, ind n child may lead him by the br
die. Tho next thing is to attach the second strar
to the other fore foot, and hy judcious pull, Il
bring the creature down upon both knees. Then
begings II very unequal struggle. Tho horse
rears himself upon his hind legs and falls again
and again. The man has to exert some activity
to prevent the horse falling upon him, and to
hold the strap of the of leg in such manner as
to prevent the horse putting his lore-ioot to tho
ground. Trailing his superb nose in the saw
dust, painting and wearicd with these unwanted
exertions, the indignant steed is presently obliged
to succumh, and slight push on the quarters
makes him lie down. Then the man dcfntiyely
ties up the off iorcfoot to the upper part of the
leg, in the same manner us the near tOrelcg has
been tied up. Then he speaks comfortingly to
the captive, consols him with friendly and ilnt-
terins gcstures-makcs love to him, in fact, rs
he lies there in helpless pride and resentment on
the ground The horse may suddenly get up on
his hndlegs, plunging and rearing again; but
the result in n few minutes, will be the same;
down upon his side no must 90.
As Mr.. Rarcy observes, the generous beast
has not sufficient intelligence to distinguish he
tween the strap that throws hlm down, and the
human hand that fixes the strap, so that tho i'm
preston upon his unsophisticatcd mind is that
the animal man is physically stronger than the
animal horse. The breast being of an cmincntly
practical turn of mind, no sooner is this cOnclu-
sion arrived at, along with the experience of mans
kindness and benevolent intention towards him
for blow, u harsh word or even an impatient
and startling gesture would spoil. the LESSON
than the horse consents to let the man DO his
master hencciorth. We saw Mr. Rarcy, apply
this treatment to a terrific fellow of stallion,
the liking of Dude" belonging to Mr.. Thomas
Parr. This horse, which is 7H""n years old, and
l60we sixteen hands high, has once or twice run
With ,gloryon tie : 6ut III c S,a6lo lis con-

ttack the groom who was as good as Il father to
lin, and tear the coat OF the ,man's back; he
las kicked his stall 80 pieces, and torn the man-
,er into shrcds with his teeth, until ,he stable
urniture was cased IN plates Of iron to defy his
mischief. When h. was brought in, gnJrt!n,
nd furious, held by three men in the arena, he
TODD erect, ferociously paving the air, and ca
,ered about in that fearful attitude, as fhc were
xeeuting the war dance of the indomtabe Cher
kee. and one almost expected to see him hurl
omahawk from his uplifted fore foot
Presently, however, the fatal strap was adrot-
= thrown over that foot, and in very short time
ne savage was humbly on his knees, nor was it
