Horse that Kii.led One Man and Injured Several Others. — 

 We yesterday afternoon visited the amphitheatre of Prof. Magner, the 

 noted horse tamer, on Carroll street. We found there a large number 

 of our most prominent citizens and horse owners, and all manifested the 

 greatest interest in the doings of the professor. By way of blending 

 amusement with instruction. Prof. Magner exhibits before his class and 

 visitors, his educated horses and ponies, who seem to possess a degree 

 of intelligence absolutely marvelous. 



After the exhibition of these animals, interpersed with remarks of an 

 instructive character from the professor, a horse belonging to the Omni- 

 bus Company — a most vicious brute, with a disagreealjle habit of biting, 

 and striking with his fore feet; from which those in charge have not 

 been able to remove the collar or bridle for over three months — was 

 brought for treatment. We understand, by the way, that this horse (a 

 large and powerful bay) once killed a man, by biting and trampling 

 him under foot, and recently bit the hand almost off the person having 

 him in charge. In twenty minutes, in the presence of between two and 

 three hundred persons, Prof. Magner reduced this brute to perfect sub- 

 jection, so that the groom and himself harnessed and unharnessed him, 

 put their hands in his mouth, and handled him in every shape with 

 perfect impunity, the formerly furious beast being as docile as a kitten. 

 It was a wonderful exhibition, as we can bear testimony. 



We can have no hesitation in recommending Prof. Magner and his 

 mode of treatment to all interested in horses, as one who can and does 

 perform all that he pi-omises.
