in tanning horses In the Old Foundry,
which place, he says, Is the best he
ever exhibited in. He has not, howev-
er, been encouraged as he should have
been by our horssrn.n, az but few come
to see his wonderful experiments. La
dies should not be in the least back
ward in attending the lectures, and to
see the performances. Seats will be
reserved expressly for them, and We
hope the concluding lectures will be
more liberally patronized. Yesterday
the Professor put kicking horse
through a course, and when 1t was over
instead Of inlulging in his propensity
to kick, he became as docile as a lamb,
and even child might have been in
safety among his heels. Last evening
the Professor gave his whole system Of
breaking and training horses. The
most wonderful part Of the performance
was fastening small cord around the
horse's head through his mouth SO
tightly as to shut of the communication
OF the brain with other parts of the
body.
In this condition the horse submits
patiently to any kind ofan operation
very indeed he does not even know
that an operation is being performed.
In this state the professor turned the
horses eye inside out, holding 1t In his
hand while he examined the socket
and this horse never moved. This eve
ming H. will break and subdns an un.
tanned mule. Those who attend will
no doubt have a rich treat. To-mor-
row afternoon he will sell two horses
of his that he has with him, prepara-
tory to leaving for his home for rest
after having been absent two years. He
extends an earnest Invitation for ladies
to attend his experiments tonight and
to- morrow.
second Baptist Supper.
Between 900 and 700 persons took
supper at the Second Baptist church,
Fourth and French streets, last night,
and all were satisfied. The large Sun
day school room for the time had been
turned into a dining and reception
room. A row of benches stretching
through the centre divided the room
into two departments, one for dining
rom and the other for reception room
The people commenced TO flock in about
8 O'Clock in the evening, and from that
time until 10 o'clock there was no COS
sation of the rattle of dishes, knives
and forks. Beautiful ysung ladies,
dressed in bib and tucker, and gallant
gentlemen waited upon the tables, and
trundled in from the cook room delicious
relays of roast turkey, roast chicken,
cold ham, beefs tongue, cranberry and
apple "sars." chicken .lad, Maryland
biscuits, rolls, butter, coffee and cake.
There was enough for all and some
over. The supper was q grand SUCCESS
and realized q handsome sum for the
church.
The REPUBLICAN, representative pities
the young man who turned q cup Of
coffee over on his lap; (not the REpuB's
lap) Is thankful to the young lady who
shared her chicken salad with him, and
he would also inform the gentleman
that mado aseat Of his hat that 1t il
none the worse for the pressure. The
company was respectao ole, good looking
and honest. We know 1t was honest,
for our umbrella was not stolen and 1t
was raining too.
