214 TESTIMONY. 



'Hbroncho eruption*' had been subdued in part, the 

 trained horse,' Charlie, was shown to the audience, 

 driven by signals of the whip, and put through his 

 paces. The audience was dismissed with a promise 

 of something new and exciting to-night.

WITHOUT BRIDLE OR LINES. 



Prof. Beery drove up on the side walk in front of 

 the Reporter office last evening and invited the editor 

 to take a ride behind his trained horse Charley. The 

 horse had no bridle and the driver had no lines, but the 

 writer having witnessed the Professor's skill, concluded 

 that the ride would be safer than behind many a well 

 harnessed steed. So away the unbridled horse sped, 

 griided only by the whip in the driver's hand. Sud- 

 denly on Fourth street the Professor kindl}^ warned the 

 editor to hold his hat on. Then he held the whip 

 horizontal, gave a yell, and then just touched Charley 

 with it and away he flew. Eiding behind a horse with- 

 out a bridle going at 1 :44, is about as sensational as 

 going through a shacklv railroad bridge on a lightning 

 express running seventy-five miles an hour. AVhen the 

 Professor held up the whip, Charley put dowTi his four 

 good strong hoofs and slid about five feet, stopping 

 quicker than any horse could be pulled down by reins. 

 And he only stopped because he was trained to. There 

 was no compulsion about the matter.
