to acquire the wherewith to make life toler-
able and keep it together.

good house last evening. 1t is remarkable
exhibition, most pleasing entertainment and
horse-and who does not-should visit this
| =. L. 1
| ness can accomplish, and they will come away
| all but ready to believe with Upper, that the
| horse has soul, and that for such there is a
/ horse heaven. The entertainment is
one ladies and children will find es-
pecially pleasing, while horsemen may
| learn from it many useful things. Memory
recalls hundred or more trained horses
seen in the circus, the training stable,
and in special exhibitions, but none come to
recollection that at all compare with Tommy,
| Barney, and Jack the Clown" Mr.. Sher-
man says he never threw his horses, never
whipped them in anger, never put on them
biting harness nor q horss-breakipg strap.
/ He never frightened them, never urged them
! to do anything until they understood just
1 what was wanted and that lao harm was in
tended them. AS result he has achieved
wonders, and developed 10 his handsome
horses an intelligence that is akin to that of
man. He exhibits the educated horses again
this evening.
