put into effect a long-cherished idea, which was to s0 
train a horse as to not only make his exhibition a nov- 
elty, but to satisfy the public that we possessed, by means 
of the knowledge we had acquired, more than ordinary 
control over the animal which we advertised ourselves to 
educate. 
Being confident that, by means then known to us, 
we could teach the horse to be driven without reins, we 
made our first attempt upon the now celebrated horse, 
owned by us, Morgan Tiger. 
This horse was sent to us at our residence in Broome 
county, N. Y., to break of a very vicious and long- 
standing habit of frequently frisking and kicking when 
hitched toa wagon. TZiger was at that time—August, 
1860—owned by Joun 8. Targext, proprietor of the 
Franklin House, at Montrose, Pa. We applied to Tiger 
our system, with marked success, and in siateen daya: 
from the time he came into our possession we exhibited 
him before the Susquehanna County (Pa.) Agricultural 
Society ; to the utter surprise of the people, driving him 
—to a sulky—without reins, rapidly around the track— 
turning, stopping, and starting, with perfect success. 
At this time we were invited by Gov.-Guary and 
Gen, SturTEvant, two of the managers of the Pennsyl- 
vania State Agricultural Society, to give an exhibition 
at their forthcoming State Fair, at Wyoming. The fol- 
lowing notice, heralding our coming, appeared in the 
Luzerne Union, of the date of Sept. 19, 1860, at the 
close of an article upon the State Fair; 
“In addition to the other attractions, we understand 
that Mr. Joun 8. Tarsert will be present during the 
Fair with his celebrated Stallion Morgan Tiger, for- 
merly a very wicked horse, but has been so thoroughly 
trained and broken by A H. Rockwstz, of Broome
