Mr.. j. j. Rarcy, the celebrated horse
tanner, just now the sensation in New York.
lie matle his DEBUT at Niblos Garden on Sat.
urday afternoon before crowded audience
from whom he won golden opinions by tho
unassuming. manly tone Of his dcmeanor.-
lie is described as man Of middle height,
lightly, but strongly built, with fair, open
countenancc, blonde whiskers and moustache,
and clear, expressive eye, that denotes an
unusual amount of constancy and mildness
In commencing his Lecture, he announ-
ced to his audience that he had several sub
jects with him, upon which he would endeayor
TO explain his system. The Ear famed English
horse Cruiser was among the subjects lie
had been told that he could do nothing with
.Cruiser,' which was owned by Lord Dor.
chester. lie went to See him. Cruiser had
not been out Of his box for three years. A
brick stable had been built for him, and he
would have been shot, but he was the last OF
a lace OF splendid horses, and bis owner was
anxious TO preserve him IL possible. Cruiser
was then introduced, Mr.. Rarey remarking,
.this is tho first time be hud been on the
stage In this country. We hayo had no rc-
hcral, but instead Of kicking, as he used to
do, ho will now-as you see-giyc mo his
foot like gentleman Applause followed
this politcn, IS between master and horse
Cruiser attracted much attention. lie is a
fine, large stallion, dark bay color, form al
most perfection, and has an eye full OF fire
and spirit. ,,, =,
Mr.. Rarcy gave some exhibitions with
Cruiser showing the manner in which he
proceeded to tame him and gain his confidence
but we pass description OF th,se exhibitions
for the purpose Of noticing Mr.. RS manner
of procedure with new and uniried su'gec's.
The iirst of these was large white Messenger
horse. not very vicious, but US his owner de-
scr;bed him nervous and great puller. -
Mr.. r. made use of the hone first, because
Re wished to demonstrate and explain his
system together, and he could not do this 50
we'll with vicious horse.
Mr.. Rarcy then remarked we follow the
New York fIenld report.
.All my success depends upon my under.
standing the horsc, and having him under
stand me. The horses mind governs his
actions. Fear makes him run away; anger
makes him fight. Rough breaking does a
horse no good. We must teach him like
child. Rough breaking, Ms we call 1t, only
makes him do what he don't want TO. They
try to catch him this way (back started
hcrse.) The hope is as sensitive as you arc.
Il il lust as bad to catch him by the face rs
Il would be to catch your friend, by the face.
But see; you can do anything with his head,
n you use Kindness. Take IL in your arms;
nut il under your arms; put tin your p9ekes :
