TRAINING, AND GENERAL MANAGEMENT. 1 37 



Durham County Chronicle. — " Taming of 'Cecily', 

 by ^ Ruperra' — On Saturday afternoon last Professor 

 Galvayne brought his second visit to this city to a 

 close. There was a very large number of pupils 

 present. When 'Cecily' was first brought into the 

 ring she was very nervous, and would not turn either 

 one way or the other, and reared and plunged about 

 the ring. At the termination of the lesson the Pro- 

 fessor was able to stop, start, turn, and back her in 

 any direction. She was also put into harness and 

 driven, and afterwards ridden round the ring and 

 outside in the open field. There is no doubt that 

 with another lesson this blood mare, which could 

 never be ridden before, would be perfect in all 

 respects." 



Tanmig a Vicious and supposed Unbreakable Seve7t- 

 year-old Black Mare at Halifax. — " On Thursday last, 

 at the Riding School, Mr. Galvayne undertook to tame 

 and train an extremely vicious 7-year-old mare. She 

 was sent with about 6 or 7 other horses and ponies 

 from the pastures, as to lead her was an impossibility. 

 Among such a mob of unbroken animals it was no 

 easy task to get a halter upon her, and it was attended 

 with danger from all quarters, but at last this was 

 effected. Then a lively scene commenced. She 

 galloped from end to end of the school with the 

 Australian hanging on to one ear and the halter.
