ORDINATION SERVICE.

A most interesting service was held in the Pitt-street Wesleyan Church last evening. The object was to publicly set apart by the imposition of hands two English and fou r Maori probationers to the full work of the j Christian ministry. There was a large j assembly to witness the ceremony. The following are the names of the candidates who were presented to the President by the Rev. H. K. Dewsbury :-J. J. Mather (Te Awamutu), J. Marshall (ISav of Islands), l-ameka, flori te Kurei, Piriui Rakena (Hokianga), and Matene Waiti'jKaieara). The Presiuent called upon each candidate in rotation to relate his Christian experience, tho Rev. Henry Lawry inter preting for the Maori candidates. This having been done, the Rev. H. Bull and the Rev. VV. Morley (ex-Presidents) road altornate portions of the ordination service. The proceedings were under tho conduct of tho President, the Kov, W. C. Oliver Afterwards the President put the usual pointed questions to each probationer, which were answered most satisfactorily. When the usual sorvice was gone through tho various ministers came forward aud laid thoir hands upon the head of each candi date, and the President handed a copy oi God's Word, ancl gave them aut._or.tv. in the name ol the Church, to pieach. the Gos pel. When this part of the ser vice was over, the Key. Joseph Berry went into the pulpit, _r,d from, the text Matthew 10, 2/—2B, delivered a very excel lent, practical, and interesting charge to the .English candidates. It was full of wise counsel, and if acted upon by those who hoard, would prove of intiuice value for future usefulness.

The charge to tho natives w as given by tho Revs. \. . Gittos and A. Rei,a, and ap peared of a most impressive churacter. Tho service was largely attended by mombeiu and visitors, and wus one of the best hold during the -it.inj'sc. the Coa ferenco.

HORSE-TRAINING.

At 4 o'olook on Saturday afternoon Pro fessor C. F. Lichtwark gave an exhibition of his horse training at Mr Buckland. Yards, Durbain-ntreet, beforo about a dozen gentlemen, who had been invited to wifcnesß his system of handling and breaking in horses. A four-year-old fiHy belonging to Mr Buckland, that had never been handled, wa9 the subject upon which the Professor operated. She was run into a yard about) 15 x2O foot square. Of course, the modus operandi is a secret which it would be unfair to expoae.as the Professor intends forming a class but lhe wholo mothod is so simple that 'any person at all accustomed to stock could not fail to become master of the urocess after a vory fow lesßons, as Und ue-s and patience aro tho basis of the whole -vstem. The ally in question was very frigh'enod at tir.t, and rushed about the enc'.o'siire i:- _er attempt to get atfay from the Professor, but by degrees he coaxed her until at length she allowed him to put his hand on her neck and head. Before the space of an hour and a half from the timo he entered the enclosure, he could do anything he desired. He took up eaoh of her fore aud hind legs as a farrier would for shoeing ; he mounted her bare back from both off and noar sides ; he rode her about the enclosure; he slid off over the tail; ho stood up on her back ;he put a bridlo on hor head and a crupper on her tail, and mado her follow him at the snap of his finger and thumb, and rest her bead on his shoulder. In the short space ol time already stated ho had the tilly aa docile, quiet, and obedient to his call as an old troop horse to the sound of the bugle; Not only was she quiet and obedient with the Professor, but several of the gentlemen -resent putted and handled her. Profes sor C. -"- Lichtwark is a very quiet, unassuming man, who does not pro fe-s any mystery or assume to do more than break in a horse without using harsh means, or fatiguing or wearing a horse out by lunging or any of tho old processes. He also explained his process of mouthing, also his method of tethering, tying up, to prevent a horso Irom running back and breaking its bridle when fastened to a poet or fence by the reins, and a variety of information useful and interesting to breakers, trainers, jockeys, and all persons interested in tho horse and his attributes. The Professor intends opening a claes if he can get sufficient pupils. Tho fee is ono guinea for the whole course of lessons, whereby he promises to make every pupil as expert as himself, provid ing thoy have been accustomed to horses. Tho method adopted by Professor Lichtwark is entirely self-taught through having spent a lifo amongst horsos_ as a breaker and trainer, and is quite distinct from the systems adopted either by Rarey, Sample, or any other. The Professor baa quite a file of testimonials from persona of experience and position, both in Australia and Hew Zealand, wherever he has exposed his system. It will be seen from an adver tisement in another column that a class will be opened at Mr Buckland's Yards, Durham-street (Baymarkot), to morrow at 3.30 p.m.
