EDUCATING THE HOUSE.

Projessor 'Theo. Lichtmrl

About fifty persons assembled in the Maßterton Temperance Hall last (Thursday) evening to hear the lecture of Professor Theo, Lichtwarlr, the well-known horse taiuer, on the subject of " Educating the Horse." The chair was occupied by Mr G. S. W. Dalrymple. The Professor, although not an orator, explained in a clear and intelligible manner the system he adopts for bringing the most vicious and unmanageable horses into subjootion, He does not advocate the motbods of the renowned Rarey, which consist very much of brute force, but baseß his system entirely on gentle and humane treatment, which he has never yet known to fail, He believed harsh treatment created vices in an animal, and was never productive of good; The greatest recommendation of his syetern was its simplicity. He had had a wide experience with horses, and quoted extracts from testimonials he had received from those who had seen his exhibitions, He would guarantee to teach any persou placing himself in his hands more than he had ever known before about horses, His system could be successfully practised by any person knowing it, After having referred to the many mistakes made by horse owners in breaking and handling their horses, he intimated that, he would be glad to form a class of instruction in Masterton, His charge would be one guinea, and he would accept no money until the individual members of his class were satisfied that his treatment was a proper one. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the Professor for his address, and the proceedings terminated.

At the conclusion of the lecture a number of gentlemen handed in their names as members of the class of instruction, The Professor wishes to gel a ctasa of twenty or more persons together, He will give as many lessons as his pupils desire without extra charge, and will be glad to afford ooular demonstration ot his ability by an exhibition of horse taming, Ho guarantees that any horse he tames will be quite dooile even though turned out for two years, He has lately been giving lessons and exliibU tions of bis skill in the Souih Island, and has fluttering testimonials of his excellent work from such noted owners as Henry Redwood and G. G, Stead, The Professor was in Master'' ton about nine years ago, when he imparted information tofarmers which has proved of great value. We feel sure he will have no difficulty in forming a class, and we look forward with interest to his exhibition,
