horse-trainer, whom we met in the spring previous, and 
who, upon hearing our system, dropped the old systems 
which he had been practicing, and adopted ours. He 
has since written a book upon the Training of the Horse, 
and has been a valuable aid to others in the education 
of this animal. His horse he broke himself under in- 
structions ‘sought of and given him by us by letters 
written. This horse has since been exhibited through- 
out some of the Hastern States and Pennsylvania. 
In the fall of 1862 we gave an exhibition at the Na- 
tional Herse Fair at Buffalo; soon after giving another 
at: the Provincial Fair at Toronto, Canada West. Thence 
we proceeded to give exhibitions, and hold classes for 
instruction, with great success, throughout Canada and. 
the New-England States. Among the places visited was 
Montreal, Montpelier, Vt., (exhibiting before the State 
Legislature,) Brattleboro, Vit. » Springfield, Mass., ete. 
At Springfield, in March, 1863, we purchased the 
horse Star, now owned by us. This horse was sold 
to us upon a written warrantee that he was “sound, 
could trot im 2.50, and would go into the first barn he 
saw open, in spite of your efforts to prevent.” We 
found him all he was advertised, being especially con- 
firmed in his bad habits. The next day after his pur- 
chase he was driven to Hartford, Ct., and on the 
following day he was brought before our class of in- 
struction to receive. his first lesson in driving without 
reins and being broke of his bad habits. He received 
such training as we could find time to give him while 
traveling constantly, giving exhibitions; and on May 
9th, a little over a month from the time we took the 
horse, we gave an exhibition of Star and Ziger hitched 
together, at Worcester, Mass., the horses Srving beau.
