NOTICES OF THE PRESS AND PEOPLE. 19 



changed, and on being driven by his master, was kind and obedient as 

 the best of horses. 



The readers of the Blade can rely upon the fact that the Professor is 

 an upright, honorable gentleman, possessing all the wonderful skill he 

 claims. 



From the Toledo Commercial. 



Monday, the last lesson of Prof. Magner to his class in Toledo, was 

 given. His success here has been unprecedented, and his teachings 

 unparalleled in their line. What the members of the class have learned 

 could not be bought of them for ten times the sum paid by them for the 

 instruction. He goes to Adrian, Michigan, from here, and we bespeak 

 for him there a hearty welcome and the usual success attending his 

 efforts. The professor is a man of his word, professing no more than 

 he performs, and doing good wherever he goes. In his teachings he 

 not only learns his scholars, but benefits the horses, by introducing a 

 more humane and gentle course of treatment, and therefore merits the 

 name of benefactor to the brute race, or a niche beside the renowned 

 Bergh. We congratulate the Adrianites on their acquisition. 



From the Cleveland Leader, Feb., 1870. 



After the exhibition, the regular lesson and illustrations began by a 

 lecture of about twenty minutes duration, wherein the professor 

 explained the cause, symptoms and cure of many of the diseases to 

 which the horse is peculiarly liable, and set forth the matter in so clear, 

 forcible and simple a manner as to disarm any prejudice or want of 

 confidence in the man, if any such prejudices had been previously 

 formed. But the great sensation of the evening was yet to come, for 

 which all were anxious, as many present knew the vicious nature of the 

 beast to be subdued — in fact there were one or two present who had 

 had good cause to ever remember the great runaway and kicker known 

 as the " Malone Horse." He is a gray gelding, perhaps sixteen hands 

 high, of great beauty and strength, and a will and determination rarely 

 found in the purely American breed of horses. The horse was brought 

 into the enclosure, and caused general comment by his magnificent 

 style and grace of movement. His owner was present, and after look- 

 ing at the animal for a few moments, and dreading to see him pass into 

 other hands to manage, hesitated at the last moment to give his consent 

 to the application of the system. Mr. Magner, determined to have a 

 subject for his class, asked the price of the horse, which was announced 

 to be $500. " I'll take him," said the professor, and at once handed 

 over the amount. This movement on the part of Mr. Magner was un- 

 expected, as most "horsemen" who have visited us generally preferred 

 to "work up" other people's horses, rather than their own. But Mr, 

 Magner knew the value of the animal before him, and knew the value 

 of his system, and was further aware that ^1,000 was ready for tht 

 horse the moment that he could be driven safely before a trotting 

 wagon.
