His Wonderful Skill in Handling
Horses.
How He Succeeded With Various
Vicious Animals Brought to
Test His Skill.

Over 1000 people went to Agricultural
Park yesterday afternoon to witness the
feats of Professor Gleason, the world-re-
nowned horse trainer. and it is safe to say
that none went away disappointed, e1-
cept those who went expecting to see him
prove unsuccessful.
He had for the past week asked horse
owners to bring their most vicious ami
mails for him to try his powers on, and
the animals that were presented were
easily Bubdued by him. A large number
of people crowded on the track and inter-
fered greatly with the exhibition. They
were repeatedly asked to clear the track.
and at last he announced that those who
remained would do SO at the risk of life
or limb and number OF those who re-
manned had very narrow escapes from
being run down by the horses.
He stated that the first step IN handling
horse was 10 make him fear you. and the
next to make him love you. The word
whoa" he said. should never be used
except to make the animal stop.
The first animal brought out was
black horse which had not been har-
messed for three years, and which, the
last time he was driven, ran away and
smashed q buggy all to pieces. The
horse paid no attention to the word whoa,

son, but IN ten minutes be would stop at

The Professor stated that the first thing
to teach horse in order TO make him
safe, was that these things would not

A couple of days since pair of these

made raid on the basement, where the
servant girl discovered him at work.
When ordered away be cursed her, and
when Mrs. Dray appeared he drew a knife
and threatened to assault her with it. but
fearing that help would be called they
departed.
On Saturday tramp entered the base
ment of Mrs. NJ. a. Jones' residence at
Eighteenth and J streets and proceeded
to I'LL up a bag with such things as he
could find to put into it.
Mrs. Jones ordered the fellow away,
and he told her she had better ''go chase
herself" The lady went up stairs, got q
pistol and marched the rascal out of the
gate. She did not let him take his bag,
either.
