Rarcy Oh ssse Tanning Of HORSES

Rarcy Oh Lsse Tanning Of Horses.
In one of his lectures (says nm ex-
changc) he began by introducing the cele-
bratcd English horse Cruiser, which no.
body could tame until Mr.. Rarcy took charge
of him. After having made him dociie,
he brought him TO this country for cxhi-
bition. The conquered horse stalked to-
ward the lootlights, prickcd up his ears,
deliberately surveyed the house. and
showed no evidence Of ever having been
unmanagcahIc. Rarcry introduced to the
audience several horses which no had
never seen before, and which had been
sent to him that he might try his skill
upon them. One Of thrs" was wild
horse from South America, which had
never been broken except to n halter. All
the animals were tanned successfully, the
time occupied with each not exceeding
fifteen minutes. We give a few extracts
from his remarks
