Mr.. Rarev gave another exhibition Of his horse
aming powers, at the National Theater. Hi
operations were prefaced with the usual explana
tons and brief narration Of Cruisers reformation
Having exhibited Cruiser, together with the iror
muzzle and heavy halter, the first subject Of tn,
evening was led in. This was trim little ,orrel
whose only fault YVES nervousness and timidity
but perfectly kind and respectable. The straI
was placed upon the leg, and In a few moment
sorrel meekly laid down In the straw, with an
appealing look Of injured Innocence at the par
quette. Having convinced so.rel that she wa
completely in his power, and that he had no desir,
to abuse that power, Mr.. Rarey removed th.
strap aud after playing with her feet and rolling
her about short time, sorrel rose up with az
anectfonate demonstration towards Mr.. Rarey. A
saddle was then brought in and Mr. Rarey de
scrioed his plan Of ssddling and mounting horse.
without alarming the horse or turning the saddle
Sorrel was then convinced Of the harmlessness Of
an umbrella, and was finally led out an accom-
Pllshed and desirable little nag.
The next horse was the one belonging to Mr.
Green, whose faith In his reformation was ex
ceedlngiy weak Those who witnessed the fierce
and prolonged struggle Of the previous mig ht with
Dan, expected to see no little fun, and when Mr.
karey, without applying the strap, coolly lifted
Dams feet and hammered away with hammer,

afing upon the subject since his first lesson, and
like sensible nag, had concluded to mend his
manners and his morals too
The next subject was a mate Of sorrel likewise

exceedingly limited idea Of dignity or self posses

audience. This horse became perfectly frantic at
the approach Of an umbrella, and plunged around
the stage at a great rate. The straps were soon
appIed and after brief struggle the horse rolled
over Into the straw. Mr.. Rarey then convinced
the horse that he was in his power and after pull
Ing and rolling him about, Mr. Rarey removed
the straps. The umbrella was then ubbed against

harmless, when he was permitted to rise. A drum

and the horse was led out apparently cured Of his
nervousness and evil ways.
