CITY INTELLIGENCE,

were also some IN the parquette. Just before the
exhibition commenced, the curtain was rolled up
and displayed a large number of ladies and gentle
men who had been provided with seats the stage.
lis tdbtedu rtUant was loudly applauded Mr.
Rarey made his appearance in the ring and COM
menced his lecture by explaining his manner of
treatment.
He then entered into description of his tanning
OF the celebrated horse "Cruiser." He alluded to
the viciOusness which characterized this horse
At two years old he the favorite for the great
Derby race, but before the day of the race arrived
he became so intractabe and wicked that no groom
could go near him without danger of losing his
life. Several of those who did approach him were
severely injuredb by his violence Mr.. Rarey en-
gagged three hours in tanning Cruiser" but it was
accomplished efectuay that he has had no trou-
BILE with him since. Cruiser was then intro
duced- He is a dark bay, 15% hands high, clean
limbs, fine easy action. The most attractive fea-
ture is the head, which is small. graceful and ex
hibiting all the best points of thorough bred
animal. The eye evinces much spirit and intelli-
gence. He followed Mr.. Rarey about like dog;
stood at his bidding, handed him his foot, and, in
fact, obeyed him in every command.
After Cruiser had retired, Mr.. Rarey took for his
first subject horse which had been represented to
him as sef-willed, stubborn, and much addicted to
kicking. dark bay horse was brought into the
ring. The straps were soon applied, and after a
short struggle the horse yielded and laid down.
Even in this position he would not allow Mr.. Rarey
to touch his hind legs without endeavoring to kick.
He soon convinced the animal that he had nothing
to fear-handed him all over, clapped the hcofs of
his hind feet together, and finally laid his head
between them, without the horse exhibiting any
symptoms of rebellion. The horse was then APP
preached with gong, which, in a few minutes, was
beaten loudly over his back.
The next subject was a mare from Mr.. Stewards
Calvert street stables She exhibited great aver
sion to buffalo rObe-a fault very common among
horses, and often difficult to overcome. The horse,
though spirited, was speedily mastered, and after
being iamiliariZed with the buffalo skin in every
manner, was taken from the ring with the robe
thrown over her neck and body.
Mr.. Rarey next read letter from Mr.. Christie
pher Staber, No. CO German street, gentleman
whom he supposed many of the audience knew
1--WE would suggest that this signature "Chris-
tophers stables'') stating that the horse which he
sent to him had never been ridden, although some
of the best riders in the city had endeavored to
break him to the use of the saddle. Another fault
that he would allow one to examine his
mouth.
After reading this note, the horse was intro
duced. He was stylish chestnut sorre, with white
name and tail. The straps applied, but
the great power and endurance of the horse and
his fine spirit made it no easy matter to subdue
him. He struggled hard, rearing and plunging
violently, to the great discontinue and "scattera
ton" of those of the audience who found them
selves too close to the ring. He bit at the straps
with his teeth, and only yielded after a well
fought struggle of nearly half an hour. Will
lying the ground he attempted to free
himself, but in vain. Mr.. Rarey, after ca
ressing him for a few minutes removed one
of the straps, and forced the horse to rise; the
horse still partially disabled. Mr.. Rarey sprang
upon his back, jumped on and off several times, and
finally removed the other strap. The horse being
thus entirely Free he leaped upon his back and af
ter little handling rode him around the ring rap
idly. The owner of the horse then, at the request
of Mr.. Rarey, appeared and mounted him, whilst
Mr.. Rarey led him round the ring. This closed the
exhibition. The last mentioned horse thor
Oughly subdued that a negro boy rode him from
the theatre to the stable. The horse Cruiser is al
the stables of Messrs Herman & Morgan, No. Il
Howard street.
