check rein by many persons using carriage
and buggy horses in the District. An extreme
case fell under my notice this morning. The
horse and buggy of a somewhat prominent sur
geOn, himself lecturer on anatomy in one of
our medical schools, was standing n his door.
The animals head was drawn high up 10y

eTS The posture of the horse was indeed
showy and handsome, but the poor creature
was evidently i'm pain from the unnatural ana
constrained position of the muscles of the
neck, and was trying to relieve Itself by NOV
ing its head from side to side i'm a manner eN-
tremely painful 10 any spectator with a spark
of SenSlbl!ity in his nature. The owner of the
horse, If his attention were directed TO the
matter, could doubtless from his store OF
technical knowledge, explain why and 10 what
extent The check rein is an instrument OF tor
ture 10 the unhappy dumb beasts on whom 1t
is inflicted but anybody by merely observing
an animal under The restraint of the check
rein can see with his own eyes what suffering
is inflicted when the rein is at all tau, as IL is
nearly always.
Our American papers have lately been cir
culating the paragraph that the Duke of West
minister's income Is ten dollars a minute.
That is no credit TO him, but il is to his credit
that he has used his great name and position,
with considerable success, to relic ye the coach
horses OF the nobility and gentry of England
from the abuse of the check rein. HIPPO.
