Tommy was too much for him. He was thrown several times, 

 and finally concluded that he had better let Tommy have his own 

 way." Cleveland Leader. 



"FuN ON THE PAKADE. 



" The parade yesterday morning presented such a lively scene 

 as has not been witnessed for some time. The occasion was the 

 exercise of some trained horses by Mr. Magner. Straw was plen 

 tifully strewn on the ground, and expectation was high while the 

 arrangements were going on. A cordon of boys and men were 

 arranged, a rope placed in their hands, and a ring formed around 

 the straw, into which soon pranced the first animal. This one cut 

 up all sorts of circus capers, .the most notable and most heartily 

 applauded feat being the dexterous unseating of a small colored 

 boy, who had the hardihood to allow himself to be placed astride 

 the animal. Next came a totally blind animal, which performed 

 miraculous antics at bidding. 



" The last feature was the crowning one. A spotted horse 

 was let into the arena amid the plaudits of the vast assemblage 

 present on the ground, and the Reform Club, which appeared en 

 masse at the windows. After various gesticulations by the horse, 

 a challenge was sent to the multitude for some one to mount. A 

 larger darkey essayed the task; but no sooner had he pronounced 

 himself 'ready,' than spotty raised his hindermost legs, lowered 

 his head, and L. D. went careering through the air. ' Golly, 

 boss ! dat hoss can't do dat again ; ' and so up he went again, to be 

 treated the same way, only more so. A fairer complexioned au- 

 ditor then attempted it, but he was treated in like manner. In 

 fact, it is quite impossible for any one to remain seated when that 

 horse takes a notion to unseat him. The prompt unseating of 

 these two worthies so amused the multitude that Mr. M. thought 

 they had had fun enough for one day. and so announced the show 

 over. 



" His class in this city was a large one, numbering over forty 

 members, comprising our leading citizens, all of whom acknowledge 

 the superiority of his system over those of other trainers who have 

 visited this locality.

"A WONDERFUL PERFORMING BLIND HORSE. 



" Among Prof. Magner 's fine troupe of horses is one that is 

 blind. This beautiful pony for he is a beauty is a wonder. He 

 seems to understand every word said to him, and will perform the
