1 10 AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 



some of the largest producers of carpets and 

 cloth in the United States, make it a place of 

 great importance. It was here that I achieved a 

 victory never before known to the public that 

 of educating the horse not to fear either the 

 steam engine or the cars. Having had placed at 

 my service the steam engine manufactured by 

 Amos Keig, I had it brought into the ring. In 

 a short time the engineer got up steam, and set 

 it in motion. Horses by the half-dozen were 

 brought in to be educated, and, as my success 

 was shown in removing all fear of that terrifying 

 object, language almost fails to describe the 

 enthusiasm excited, and the eulogies pronounced 

 on my system. As this was the first opportunity 

 that had presented itself for me to show the 

 power and beauty of that portion of my system, 

 I was greatly ^cheered and gratified with the suc- 

 cess attending my efforts, especially as the papers 

 of the city heralded my success in no uncertain 

 tones, and proclaimed the almost incalculable 

 benefit which would accrue to society from the 

 adoption of my system.
