men, not exceeding ten in number, as would be above 

 suspicion of not giving a fair and impartial report on the 

 merits of my claims, before whom I would make such ex- 

 periments as would be necessary to explain and illustrate 

 to them my system of treatment. By invitation, the Cooper 

 Institute Farmers' Club also appointed a special committee

A NEW ERA IN THE EDUCATION OF HORSES. 



A WONDERFUL EXHIBITION. 



On Friday evening Mr. D. Magner gave an exhibition, to 

 which none but invited guests were admitted. Among the horse- 

 fanciers present were Robert Bonner, Dan Mace, Ed. Wilkins, J. 

 D. Walton, George Lewis, Jacob Creveling, Amos Little, Dave
