Mr. It. A. llowers. of flowers, I 'a., had
chosen for his subject "Hamuel J. Tllden,"
of whom he said, that " for legal learning
and ability ; for lilgh-seuled and chivalrous
patriotism , for speVltss Integrity and unsul
lied honor, he established a reputation
which will last as long as such qualities ami
virtues aroflheilMieil among men."
Mr, W, It 1'ntitrs, ir Danvllle, l'a., pre

strongly advocated the necessity of recourse
te moral suasion In erder te mltlgate the
evils which grew out el the cenllict between
capital and lalxir.
Mr. II. A. Dubbs, of Lancaster, l'a., ndlDed
the audience by his able discourse en " Self Self
Hacrillce." "The primary prlnclple of true
progress Is self sacrifice. The highest devel

the highest modern development of there
public Is our system of self rule, which In In
velves a sacrlllce or Individual ewer, but
net of Individuality."
Mr. Ch. 1 . Ilaer, of Lancaster, l'a., fol
lowed with an oration, whose subject was,
"Helf-Defonse." He advocated In logical
connection with the t'leme the rights or the
capitalist ever against the false solf-defeuso
of thn laborer.
Mr. ('. A. 1xis, of tlethlehem, l'a, spoke
In conclusion en "I'hyslcal Culture." Ills

Tref. OIoAieii was at the Lancaster rluk
again, Tuesday oveuliig, and he had a very
large audlonce, Including many persons from
the county, and well-known horsemen.
The professor handled tire homes ; two were
shyers and threo klckers. Neirly all of the
horses wero easily handled, but the last one
was very b.id. It was a bay herse,
which had been In the habit of kick'
lug, and the animal preved te Is)
a "corker," The owner had brought the
herse twenty miles te have the professor
try his skill. As aoen as the animal was
brought Inte the ring It was evident te all
that she was a bad one, and se It proved. The
professor worked with the uiare for almost
ah hour and she kicked whenever an opor epor oper
tunity oirered. The safrty straps were
brought Inte action, butsliecontlnued te kick
as much as slie was able. Hhe was thrown
down or cm her liose j-erhaps a dezen
times and he lay lu u, Rnw ,it
apparently exhausted. Assoen as slie would
Bgaln get uikmi her feet, the kicking would
be resumed. The tin pans which wero lied
te her tall were kicked eU fceveral times and
sent flying In all directions. Finally the
repes and strajm were put upon all
lour feet, but the animal continued te kick
wickedly. The animal was bitched te n
buggy lu which he showed seme lmprovo lmprevo lmprove
mont, but kicked at Intervals. It was half
past ten o'clock when the professor closed
tee porienuance. no sain mat although he
had Improved the animal she would require
several lessens, as she was the worst case he
had had In two yearn. He understood that the
ewner would give 1100 te any person who
would oflect a permanent cure upon the ani
mal. If this was true thn professor was willing
te put up (100 that by next Hiturday he will
le nble te drive the tnare through the streets
without brldle or reins.
This afternoon the professor gives a mat mat mat

se the fun was rrxerved fur this evenlng.
Resides thise, five ether horses will be
handled.
An Incident, which arou'el the audlonce,
occurred whlle the pro'esser was at work en
the hard kicker last evenlug. In the gallery
sat a well dressed young man from the coun
try, who had probably nover before attended
a herse show. He wat accompanied by b
yeuug lady, and became 'mite excited. He
seemed te think that the professor was abus
ing the herse. He called out from the gal
lery, telling Oleasea he would have te take
the herse out. The professor replied that he
would net, and the young man liad no au
thority te order him. Itie young man ro re ro
plled that he would shew- him whether he
had net. but made no attouiptledoso. When
thoaudlence discovered the whereabouts of
the young man who did the talking they
yelled and hissed at him, rylng " put him
out." The professor raid that he had handled
horses belere the head men of the cruelty
te animals soclety, aud his methods were ap
proved by them. Henrv Hergh, the leader of
the movement, was with him, and he did riot
come te Lancaster te be Irightoced. The
young man aeetneJ very much ashamed,
