EDUCATION OF THE HoRsE.-Prof.
j. P. Harper, who claims to be tho
roughly skilled in the art or mystery
of overcoming the most refractory
horses, will give an exhibition to-
day, at IL o'clock, in front of the
ruins of the Court HcHsc. a spirited
horse will be driven through the
streets, without bride or reins; be-
sides other apparently equally impos-
sible feats. After the exhibition, q
lecture will be delivered, to which q
general invitation to our citizens is
extended. The Sumter Is. C.) Watch-
man speaks as follows of Prof. H.:
''He explained to his class, in
clear and comprehensive manner, the
character of treatment necessary in
handling the various kinds Of horses,
i'll order to meet and remove their
various faults, Mt the same time ex-
posing many popular errors concern
ing tue management of the horse.
Mr.. Harper is evidently thoroughly
versed in all that pertains to tie edu-
cation of the horse. His system
seems to be complete in all its bear
ings, and is remarkable for its SIM
plicity, and for the ease with which
he obtains the most absolute control
of the animal. Experiments with
several horses here, of well known
faults, who were regarded as incur
able, or whose owners had abandoned
effort to remove them, exhibited the
ease and practicability of his system.
He discards entirely the Rarey theory
of throwing the horse and worrying
him, as means of gaining control,
and acts directly npon tho animal
sense. In word, he educates. We
would advise all persons who are in
terestcd in the management of stock
not to allow Prof H. to pass without
ayailing themselves of his services.
They will receive information that
will be of great value, and that will
enable them to control the most
vicious horse with ease"
