BILE audience, the occasion being Mr.. Rarey's
second lecture. Mr.. r., after explaining the
art Of horse. tanning, as practiced by him, intro.
duced the famous English horse, Cruiser, for
whose tanning Mr.. r. had gained so great
notoriety. After exhibiting the little Shetland
ponies, which were universally admired, Mr.. r.
introduced young and spirited horse, which
had been sent for cure. He was said to be of
o very excitable nature, and had on several oc-
cssions ran away.
Mr.. r. commenced on the horse in his usual
method, caressing and acting kindly towards
him, after which he placed the straps OH him,
and soon had him in such condition that an
umbrella was opened and closed in front of
him, and drum beat on his back without any
effect
A spirited horse, belonging to Mr.. A. Green,
was next introduced, and that gentleman gave
short account of it, stating that he was gentle
enough except when going to be shod. Mr..

and after an hour succeeded in striking his
hoof with hammer without being kicked ut

subject he had met with in America.
