EXACTING EXPERIMENTS. 19 



cleared the place of all spectators, excepting those holding tickets of 

 invitation from the committee having charge. 



Of course the peculiar method, by which in a wonderfully brief 

 time, the most savage stallion in the State was so completely con- 

 quered that he was harnessed to a carriage and driven by the Profes- 

 sor around the enclosed yard, fast or slow, as suited, as well as 

 backing, stopping instantly at the word " whoa," besides various other 

 things, all proving that the demon had been, temporarily at least, 

 exorcised, cannot be stated, but it was surely done. 



The savage brute, after undergoing Magner's course of treatment, 

 would allow himself to be petted and caressed by any one present, 

 without the least manifestations of ill temper. 



From the Portland (Me.) Press. 



The announcement that the well-known Hillman horse was to be 

 trained at the South-street stable, drew a large crowd yesterday morn- 

 ing, as this horse is known to be one of the worst cases on record, 

 Some few gentlemen, including representatives of the morning papers, 

 took carriages, and drove out to the residence of Rev. A. P. Hillman, 

 near the Reform School, to see Prof. Magner in his first attempt to 

 handle the animal. In this condition " Jet " was led from the stall for 

 the first time in eight months. The line of march was taken up for the 

 city, a man on either side holding by the cords attached to him. All 

 the residents on the way were in waiting to see the wonderful horse 

 pass ; and on reaching the city a large crowd followed the horse and 

 his trainer to the stable. 



The stable was thronged on the arrival ; and after giving the horse 

 a slight rest, Prof. Magner commenced upon him. We cannot give 

 the method of treatment : suffice it to say, he worked on the horse just 

 twenty-five minutes, when the striking, dangerous horse was as mild 

 as a lamb. He was turned loose, and wandered about among the 

 horsemen as though he was an old truck-horse. The trainer jumped 

 upon his back, and afterwards harnessed him to a wagon, and drove 

 about without the least strap to keep the wagon from striking his 

 heels. 



" The rear of the procession was brought up by the recently tamed 

 Hillman stallion. In all the noise and confusion, he went along as 

 gentle as an old family horse." Portland Advertiser y July 5. 



The Famous Hillman Horse in the Procession. 



"Last, but not least, was Prof. Magner, driving the Hillman stal- 

 lion. This was the interesting part of the procession, considering 

 that the horse which he was now driving as gently as any family horse 

 was a few weeks ago considered wholly unmanageable." Portland 

 Press, July 6.
