TRAINING, AND GENERAL MANAGEMENT. 1 23 



Beatrice (Princess Henry of Battenberg), H.R.H. 

 Princess Irene of Hesse, H.R.H. Princess Alice of 

 Hesse, Miss Bauer, Lord Bridport, General the Right 

 Honourable Sir Henry Ponsonby, K.C.B., Major 

 Bigge, C.B., Dr. Reid, Dr. Profeit, Her Majesty's 

 Commissioner at Balmoral, and the principal of Her 

 Majesty's servants connected with the stables. The 

 proceedings commenced by the introduction of a local 

 kicker, who was rapidly reduced to subjection, and 

 failed to show the least inclination to vice. So satis- 

 factory was the treatment from a humane as well 

 as a scientific point of view, that Her Majesty gave 

 a beautiful bay Arab stallion for the afternoon 

 exhibition. Professor Galvayne and his son being in- 

 vited to luncheon at the Castle. Before handling- the 

 stallion, an instantaneous system for casting horses 

 single-handed was shown. The stallion was then 

 treated, and in about half an hour was driven in a 

 vehicle perfectly quiet, and was afterwards ridden by 

 Mr. Galvayne's son, who gave a fine exhibition of 

 horsemanship. Mr Galvayne afterwards treated a 

 shying horse, the property of H.R.H. Prince Henry 

 of Battenberg, the treatment of this subject being 

 equally as satisfactory as those preceding it. Pro- 

 fessor Galvayne, at the request of H.R.H. Prince 

 Henry, drove him to Abergeldie Castle in a dogcart. 

 All who had witnessed the performances congratu- 

 lated Mr. Galvayne on his wonderful skill with horses."
