PEESONAL EXPERIENCE. 



bent that one of the wheels would not revolve, and the driver, 

 buggy, and all precipitated forward on the horse, which, three 

 days ago, one-half dozen men could not have held under such cir- 

 cumstances, but with no bad results further than stated. The 

 hor.se did not seem alarmed, and bravely stood while the wreck 

 was cleared away from the track, without so much as an offer to 

 kick, fully proving the thoroughness of Magner's system. 



" The people that thronged the sti-eet were attracted by that 

 natural morbidity of the human mind which expects to be gratified 

 by seeing some appalling disaster ; but in this case they were most 

 grievously disappointed, for instead of seeing the gray gelding 

 ' mash things,' as was his wont, they only saw a splendid, docile 

 animal driven by a gentleman who neither appeared alarmed, or 

 expectant of any serious results from driving so gentle and speedy 

 a buggy horse. 



" At the close of the last lecture of his course in Cleveland, the 

 the following resolution was moved by Hon. Silas Merchant 

 (President of City Council), which was carried by acclamation of 

 the entire class, comprising 07ie thousand leading citizens : — 



" ' Resolved, That we, as members of Prof. Magner's class in 

 this city, deem it but a j ust recognition of his skill and success in 

 teaching us his system of educating horses, which is above all 

 praise, hereby indorse him and his s^'^stem to our friends and the 

 public. '
