Summer. We accompanied Mr.. Rarey 10 the Palace
TO zee how Cruisers first appearance on any stage
would result. In due course Of programme Mr.. Cooke
announced the approach Of the famous equine savage,
and exhibited 10 the audience The heavy muzze and
other things which the people at Gibos saw on Satur-
day. Finally the doors were swung back and Cruiser
was led 10 by HE groom. Mr.. Cooke attempted 10
show the several details OF the Rarey process, but did
his work az arms length, and manifested such bum
Cling and trepdation, that Mr. Rary remarked TO US
that there would certainly be trouble, for Cooke was
not tit 10 handle such horse. There was trouble.
Cooke made three Intellectual attempts TO strap up the
nigh fore-eg, aud then 10 make Cruiser more
obedient ~ gave him gentle cutwith bis whip. That
was enough 10 rouse the devil in the horse, iIrated
and nervous as he was at the glare OF gshghts, the
rus,ling crowd and the music Of the band. His eyes
flashed fire in an instant-with one desperate plunge
he freed his leg from the strap, his white teeth
uncovered and with cry Of rage he rushed upon the
terrified Rngmaster, who instantly turned and fled
from the ring with bis assistant. The horse had then
the freedom Of the premises, and leaped from side
TO the other of the ring in high state Of excitement
panic seized the audience for only low barrier
between them and the savage They rushed over the
backs of the seats, toward the exits, two or three
save their lives and not few shreks uttered by
the afrghied women. Up to this time Rarey had sat
calm and tranquil but when matersgo 10 their worst,
he quietly left bis seat and went down into the ring
The crowd pansed 10 see the result Of such reckless
ness. Rarey stood as still statue, holding mp his
hand, and calling Cruiser" Cruiser =" Cruiser"
The horse looked uneasy at the motioness figure, but
soon recognizing the voice of bis conqucror, came
slowly toward him, extending his Rarey let him
approach until he was quite near, and then went TO
him, stroked him softly the face, andthe savage
was again au alectouate slave, In three minutes the
horse was lying PROSTATE, and Rarey cracked whPS
abont his with perfect impuny.
Cruiser withdrawn Mr. Rarey stated TO his Satur-
days audience that he would present before them
horse which was said by hs owner TO be very nervous,
and great puller at the mouth. Hew accordingly led
in and Mr. Rarey proceeded 10 demonstrate his system
Heremarked that the horse according to the impress
sous he receives. Ii he ican you he runs away; If
enraged at you he rushes upon you. lie is like child
in intellect and mus lie subdued and managed like one
The brutal system of rough-ridng' opposes human
10 brute force and infcts a world Of suffering upon
the animal without bringing him into dociity and sub
lection The horso before them had been spoiled by
bad breaking His mouth bad been made hari as
priste when 1t should have been left IA tender and
sensitive as nature made IT, This, any other horse
in the world could be led by straw and to prove that
he could, Mr. Rarey did it. The horse must be- con-
WINGED by a certain course Of humane but effective
treatment that man il his master, and that by quiet
submission no harm or suffering will come 20 him.
Once make this IMPRESSION and your victory not only
sure but permanent Patience, courage, cooness, PER
save, a. c. and Judgment ara D. be- relied upon a. give
IA the mastery and in proportion men have these
qualities Of mind they will achieve greater or esa sue
cess in the subuga,on Of horses In sddling or har-
nessing horse for the st time, the objects must be
made familiar TO him. He should be allowed TO touch
them repeatedly with his nose; they should be slipped
on over his head and put and off his back until their
contact with him excited no apprehensions Deception
should never be used for II his eyes were blinded until
the saddle or harness placed on bis back, be would
fall naturally into great fright and US natural means
TO nd himself Of the offensive object.
Mr.. Rarsy proceeded regularly through all the stages
of his process and in Just ten minutes fOm the conl-
mencement Of the experiment the nervous, trembling
horse that had started every unusal sound, stood
quietly while great drum wss placed on his oinr aud
beaten with violence.
The second subject was wild South American pony
v,
She had never been shod aud broken except
to halter. Mr. RaTey nnde numerous Intellectual at
tempts 10 mount her she wheeling about like flash
and plungng with desperate violence. Every attempt
to take her foot was fuess and finally she become 20
enraged that she reared and struck n, Mr. Rarey with
her fore foot. Having thur efectually convinced bus
audience that she was really untamed Mr.. Rarey pro-
ceeded 10 business His irst care war 10 show the
wild headstroDg animal that she had met her mitch
This be accomplished by taking short hold on the
right rein and drawing her head in against her shoulder
70 eau her 10 wheel TO nj and round like top N the
vain ondcavor TO free herself The first impression
being thus made the animal made little resistance 10
Rareys lifting her foot and before she knew what
he war doing she wac efectually hobbled. No human
being ever manifested surprise more completely than
she did at finding herself captive Having but three
legs to walk ON, she made poor progress, and
instead Of her former hesdlong rushes, now meekly
lmped along. Then came some more turning about,
and in due course If time the second strap adjusted,
and she came heavily down on her knees. THIS state
Of hngs was evidently not much 10 her taste, Tor she
made frantic efforts 10 free herself raising her body
into the air by the sheer force OF her thigh and hind
leg muscles Worn out at lat with her desperate e&-
ertions, che succumbcd, and rolled with grnnI over
on her side. After moving her about while, 10 con-
vince her that she really at his mercy Mr. Rarey
patted and onded her. sat her back aud thgh threw
his leg over her head lay between her legs, placing
her unshod boots on his head and moved her muscles
as he wshed. He suffered her TO arise at last, ana
while she stood mounted and dismounted picked up
her feet, went under her belly, and finally walked
about the ring with this wild seed Of the Pampas THIS
plungng, fiery devil Of thirteen minutes before follow
ing him with the meekness and affection OF real
friend Az the hone aDcr led the tanned horse on the
stage the house shook with tempest OF applause and
