that Detaille was painting some caval-

He found 1t necessary to excite the
horse posing as a model to give the
appearance of a frenzied gallop But
1t was in vain that the jockey, who
held the bride, smaeked bis tongue;
the animal drowsed.
Detallle then ordered another do

For fully five minutes the horse was
terribly frightened. and the painter
was delighted. But the animal soon
became accustomed to the tomtom
and drowsed again. To draw the
valiant steed from his torpor It was
necessary to strike the bronze disk
with greater force This was done.
