AN EVENING WITH GLEASON
Frequent Bursts Of Applause Greet the
Horse Master
Wild and lntrsctable Equlnes Converted from
the Paths Of Wickedness and 7ede
Meek and Amtable

Last evening Hazards pavilion was
filled with a large and interested audi.
ence. which showed its appreciation of
Professor Gleasons exhibition by fre-
quent bursts of applause. The first ami
NAL brought into the ring was fine,
large dark-b brown horse, whose striking,
biting and kicking propensities made him
a terror to the employees of B. V. Coch-
ran at the Citizens stockyard. The ami
NAL, in addition to the abuve named
faults, would not answer to the commands
of "Get up and Whoa" Within a
very short time Professor Gleason had
him subdued. and although struggling
violently at first he was soon driven
quietly around the ring and obeyed every
command when given.
A beautiful brown horse, somewhat
lighter in weight than his predecessor
and the property OF Owen Conrad. was
then led into the enclosure. The trouble
with this animal was that he could not
be harnessed without being tied up, and
even then he showed marked disposi-
ton to run away at any moment.
After repeated efforts the professor
compelled him to follow him around the
ring at the word OF command. and even
overcame his wish to run away. He was
treated to dose of charivari music AID
made acquainted with the mysteries OF
the parasol, after which when harnessed
he showed by the way he circled the ring
that he did not think being between the
shafts such a bad thing. after all.
The next beast whose evil points were
treated was a slender-lim bed chestnut
horse of a very nervous disposition. be-

noon he evinced his nervous proclivities
by running away on Main street. south
OF First. and mas eight broken bugges to
his credit. The chestnut danced around
very lively at first ana emphatically OBJ
jected to being placed in the training
straps. When they were adjusted. now
ever his violent plunges and side leaps
created great amusement among the audi
ence. Soon. however, the animal COM
menced to obey the restraint upon hiln,
and although still struggling against the
boom of the big drum and rattle of the
tin pans, at last sucoumbed and allowed
himself to be driven around the ring IN
the most approved manner.
These three horses which had been su D.
dued were then harnessed three abreast
to the wagon and this professor. gather

Il0 fOurtn event OF Tue eVeulnS Wds
the subduing of Ugly Mary, q mare
which had recently been brought in from
the ranch and whose propensity for kick
ing was som ething wonuerful to behold.
She is the property of W. McDermott OF
the Fashion stables. and has hitherto
borne an unenviable reputation among
the hostlers of that establishment. When
the straps had been adjusted smart
touch of the whip from the professor
started her around the ring. For while
the only thing visible OF Mary were her
hind legs, and the way they cleft the air
was something remarkable. 1t seemed at
first as if she would kick forever. and
with the effect of increasing her exer-
tions rattling string of tin pans was
attached to her tail. Then for q short
time her efforts rather bordered Oh the
sublime. Before long. however, tho
rattle of the pans became an old story
and soon they failed altogether to excite
her animosity. They were then taken
off and the wagon repeatedly run up
against her hind legs. but with no re-
suits. Mary had sought better things,
and the art of kicking is reIegated by her
to oblivion. Soon she was being driven
around the ring In the wagon. one OF the
meekest and most amiaple horses that
ever existed.
The manag sment decided yesterday to
reduce the price of admission to the
horse training show to 25 cents for re-
served seats and Is cents for the gallery.
This reduction has been made with the
intention of bringing the performance
within the means OF everyone in Los An
gees, and gues into effect today.
