 also used for animals afraid of bicycles, etc., and liable to run away. 

 This bridle may also be used to break a horse afraid of umbrellas or 

 buffalo robes, as follows : Place on the horse the bridle as seen in en- 

 graving. Present the umbrella or buiialo robe, allowing him to 

 smell of it ; than ri:b it across his nose and head ; open it gently, at 

 the same time allow him to smell of it several times ; work gently 

 till he becomes reconciled to it, and in a few lessons vou will be able 

 to use the umbrella in any place around him.
