THE NEW SYSTEM OF EDUCATING HORSES. 263 



time rises above the vulgar tricks of the charlatan. His name is MAG- 

 NER. He seems to have given honest study to his art, and to have 

 brought a high degree of intelligence to the study. He regards the 

 horse not as a dull, stupid piece of clay, but as an animal able to draw 

 deductions, and to be moulded by firmness and kindness. His best 

 subjects are those which the charlatans pronounce the worst. His sys- 

 tem is based upon logic, such a system as is worthy of a controlling 

 power. Mr. Magner can citre the very worst cases. We honestly believe 

 that there is not a horse in the world which he cannot make gentle and 

 obedient. 



The following flattering notices, taken front a large number, 

 are included, as a further proof of the superiority and value of 

 my system. 



.Letter from Hiram Buck to Kobert Bonner. 



CROWN-POINT CENTRE, April 4, 1877. 



MY DEAR SIR, I enclose a slip from one of Mr. Magner's "Ad- 

 vance Circular " papers, purporting to be a copy of a letter over your 

 signature. As the world is full of humbugs, and some bold ones, I 

 write, in my own and several of my neighbors' behalf, to ascertain if 

 the letter is genuine, and you really find Magner's system original and 

 meritorious. One reason of our asking this favor is, in an article from 

 " Up North " (correspondent in " The Argus ") Mr. Magner is spoken 

 of in disparaging terms. Prof. Magner has advertised to be at Crown 

 Point in a few days ; and should you have the kindness to favor us 

 with a reply, please do so soon, as it will make a difference with some 

 about attending his school. Yours very truly, HIRAM BUCK. 



Autograph Letter from Kobert Bonner in Answer to Hiram Buck's 



Letter. 



DEAR SIR, Mr. Magner understands his business better than any 

 living man. My letter, to which you refer, is genuine. He is not a 

 humbug : on the contrary, I think, he has no equal living as a horse- 

 tamer. If you know of any other person who understands how to 

 subdue vicious horses better than Mr. Magner, I will thank you to 

 send him to me. Yours truly, ROBERT BONNER. 



Autograph Letter from Rev. W. H. H. Murray. 



THE MURRAY STOCK FARM, GUILFORD, CONN., Sept i, 1877. 

 I fully concur in what Mr. Bonner has said. Mr. Magner is a bene- 

 factor in the truest sense of that word. His knowledge of the horse 

 is thorough, and his ability to impart it unusual. The horse to-day is 

 man's most useful servant. How to make him a safe and reliable ser- 

 vant easily and quickly, Mr. Magner can teach people. I know him 

 and his methods and mannerism of teaching, and cordially commend 

 him to popular favor. Every man who owns or drives a horse should 

 be sure to receive Mr. Magner's instruction. I cordially commend 

 Mr. Magner to all acquaintances of mine who love or own horses 

 everywhere. They will find him all his indorsements say he is. 



W. H. H. MURRAY.
