The American HOrse-Tnmer In England
His Final Exhibition and Farewell to
London.
The London News of the goth ult. says
Rarey gave his last exhibition in that me-
tropolis the previous Saturday, at the
Crystal Palace, before crowded audience,
and adds:
Mr.. Rarey began with the "Cruiser," who is
now model of docility and patience. Like
Colonel Crocketts squirrels, he comes down
without the trouble Of firing. He bends his
knee for the strap, and falls, with ease if not
with dignity, the moment it becomes his cue
to do so. he looked thin on Saturday, and
his coat was rough, but neither of those
symptoms is uncommon with horses at this
season of the year. "Cruiser," who is now
the property of Mr.. Rarey, goes with him to
America TO assist in disseminating the new
philosophy of horse-taming. After him came
a chestnut, which was, if possible, still more
docile; but here the harmony of the arena
terminated. When the chestnut had been
duly hobbled tumbled and otherwise done
for, the whole transept suddenly became
vocal with the unearthly screams of the
Irish mare, who was about to receive her
first initiation into the restraints of civil
lied n,dnege. This animal, which was rather
dingy gray, was evidently of great power;
but as for discipline, she might have been a
corporal in the Pope's Brigade. She lashed,
kicked, bit, and appealed with all the ira
ditional eloquence of her country for
"iustice to Ireland We certainly never
heard so much howling from horse, and

have managed it; but perhaps the fact OF

count for her extraordinary excitement and
| volubility.
| But it was all Of no use. Mr.. Rarey wiped
his forehead, pulled out his strap, and waited
his opportunity. The leg was soon up, and
the mare soon down, but not without the
execution Of one of her national melodies
with brilliant variations, which brought
down thunders Of applause. Several time!
during the process of teaching she seemed
quite ready to eat her preceptor, so that i
was quite relief to the audience when sht
was at last made to "bite the DUST" a fea
