TESTIMONIAL.
4 Rocr TSrANn- Au1ust 81. 1867.

Rock ISLAND, August ~, 1867.
The undersigned, having witnessed an Exh
bition of Capt. II. G. Miles system OF breaking
and training colts and handling vicious and
tricky horses, take pleasure in adding this testi-
monial to the many which have been furnished
Capt. Miles elsewhere.
The theory on which his system is founded is
supported by common sense, and is practical and
affective. No one who has any occasion to ham
die horses, of whatever age or disposition, can
fail TO be benefited by . thorough understanding
of Capt. Miles system.
Its chief beauty is in the fact that everything
is done by gentleness and kind treatment-no
harshness or beating-no Rarey ropes to aggra-
vate or injure the horse. M
TIE same principle is adopted in the training
of herses on the track, and experience has shown
IT to be successful here in the first breaking
of the colt.
In our opinion Capt. Miles syetem is superior
to any we have seen attempted elsewhere. There
| is no humbug in it. 1t commends itself to the
common sense of all who appreciate the noble
qualities of the horse.
