PROFESSOR SAMPLE AT LOS ANGELES. A NOVEL PROCESSION .

The following extract which is taken from the Lo* Angeles (American) paper will give our readers, or at lo.i^t those who have not had the pleasure of witnessing one of Professor Sample's horse-training exhibitions, an idea of his wonderful power over the horse :—: — 1 The citizens of Los Angeles witnessed one of the most interesting processions that has paraded the streets of this city for many a day, yesterday. For some time Professor Sample has been in this city teaching the lovers of that noble animal, the horse, how to train him. From the exhibition yesterday it was fully proven to the satisfaction of the mo3t sepptical $ that Sample is the most thorough horsetrainer in the United States, if not in the world. The owners of the horses in the procession will testify that less thnn thirty days ago every animal was ungovernable to a considerable extent. But the reader, if he saw the parade, noticed that every horse was led by boys not over twelve years of age. This is proof positive that every man should understand the modus operand i of taming horses. The procession started from Temple-street stable about 12 o'clock noon, and marched through the principal streets, The Professor led the caravan, seated in a fine buggy drawn by two magnificent black horses. The City Band followed : then came the riproaring mustangs that had been trained. The first one had a motto on his sides which read : ' I was the boss of Denker's ranch, but Sample got the best of me.' Then followed nine horses with mottoes which read like this : 4 1 was the bucking bronco, that had my tail full of tuckle burrs, and I have been Sampled ;' I was a nullifier, but have been conqu red ; ' I was Wild Bill of Tempie-»weet stable ;' ' I was the worst pill in the box, but Sample got the best of me ;' ' I was a balker, but Sample made me go ;' 'I wouldn't bock, but I do now ;' ' I am the one that crippled my master and killed my mate, but will never do it again.' The last one had : 1 1 was a high kicker, but Sample took it all out of me.'
