20 NEW SYSTEM OF EDUCATING HORSES. 



At this stage of the proceedings the excitement was intense, and 

 many speculations were indulged in as to who would prove the victor, 

 the man or the horse. In less than twenty minutes from the time that 

 Professor Magner laid his hands upon his subject, the horse was as gen- 

 tle as a lamb, and as easily controlled as the most reliable family horse. 

 Among other efforts to prove that the gray gelding was completely 

 broken, the professor, without reins in hand, mounted the wagon, and 

 catching the animal by the tail drove him around the ring at a fearful 

 pace, drawing the wagon upon the heels of the horse in such a way as 

 to strike them with a force that could be heard at the farthest end of the 

 room. The class was astonished, declaring that they had already 

 received more than the value in useful knowledge of the price of their 

 admission. 



From the Cleveland Herald of Feb. 26, 1870. 



Professor Magner last night gave an exhibition at his hippotheatron, 

 which was in every respect a success. A success in giving complete 

 satisfaction to the large audience attracted, and in realizing a good sum 

 for the Dorcas Society, a benevolent institution for the benefit of which 

 the entertainment was given. This is the second donation the profes- 

 sor has made to charitable institutions of our city. When he leaves us 

 his visit will not only be remembered on account of the skillful 

 methods of training horses, which he has imparted to a large class of 

 students, but also for deeds of charity done in our midst, which will 

 make his name ever associated with pleasant recollections. 



At the close of the last lecture of his course in Cleveland, the 

 following resolution was moved by Hon. Silas Merchant, (President of 

 City Council,) which was carried by acclamation of the entire class : 



Resolved, That we, as members of Prof. Magner's class in this city, 

 deem it but a just recognition of his skill and success in teaching us his 

 system of educating horses, which we regard as the best ever shown us; 

 and for his gentlemanly demeanor, that we are fully satisfied with his 

 instructions, hereby endorse him and his system of educating and treat- 

 ing horses, to our friends and the public.
