class present to listen to the closing lecture, and witness some of 

 his wonderful feats of subduing and managing horses. At the 

 close of the lecture, one of the members of the class offered the 

 following resolution, which was received with applause, and 

 adopted without a dissenting voice : 



" ' Resolved, That we, the members of Mr. Magner's class, 

 hereby express to him our high appreciation of his instructions in 

 his system for the reform and elevation of horses, which, in our

When the panic of '73 set in, I found it impossible to 

 do business in large centers, and I was compelled to make 

 a complete change by traveling in the country and remain- 

 ing but one day in a place. As a feature of interest at this 

 time, I advertised driving into town, the day before my 

 lecture, a stallion without reins, followed by another 

 (Blind Billy) loose in the street; and the next morning, 

 before forming a class, I gave a regular exhibition with the 

 ponies. It was frequently surprising to note the interest 

 these performances excited. The country people came in 

 crowds.
