Contest Between Rarey and q Wild
. mu1tunG Pony.
The following exciting advertisement Is re-
ported in tho New York Tines among Mr.. Ra-
rey'a feats at horse tanning in that city:
But the entertainment Of tho afternoon be-
gan when Mr. Rasey announced the e.tree Of o
mustang pony. There nre great many 1unny
things in this world, and comtcalitlcs abound
all over the earth, but VIC doubt If any man
eau specify funnlcr sight than was presented
to th.t delighted audience than the advent Of
stage In the most theatrical style-Rarey said
he WIS scared, and NO wonder WIS enough
10 scare any horse, to be ushered, Us he was,
before 60 Imposing an audience. A Celtic
gentleman had hold Of the end Of one long
rope, which was also attached to the pony'e
bit, Teutonic individual held another ropein
the came manner, and Rarey waved broom
stick several feet long, so tint the nag, who is
accustomed to the freedom Of his native hills,
was astonishcd and outraged ut the very onset.
From between Ills ears Issued q long hairy
horn, making him to appear for all the world
like that often sung, but never seen, belllge-
rent who joineth continual issue with the Brit
ish lion for the possession Of the crown. His
name was very thick, rough and long, go was
his ground-sweeping tai1, Ills eyes glowed like
burning Goals, his nostrils, pink with blood,
worked like bellows, his feet paved the yard,
aud his spirit WAS thoroughly alive mud appar-
emily equal to the emergency of the occasion.
While the attendants stood liks Q pair Of
Prodjgal Sons afar oil, Rarey, stick in hand,
attempted to gain hand-hold upon the bride
"a liberty which the horse at once and with
out ceremony resented Standing on one hind
leg hc wheeled swiftly around, paving the air
with his fore leg, kicking with the remaining
hind leg, whiskins his taillikea revolving fan,
swapping with his mouth aud poking with his
long hairy horn. This he did several times,
greatly to our delight, but much to the dis
satisfaction Of the attendants, whose possible
two dollars PR diem do not warrant their wan-
ton exposure Of life and limb, simply for the
nmnscslent Of audiences, csen the most select
On one occasion, after the successful attempt
one Of the attendants found himself
directly In the horses rear, and with
but a few inches between him and tie
fence. Instantly he became agile, alert and
expeditions in his movements toward another
part Of the Stage, and we think 1t would be
difficult to find anywhere j recorded instance
Of retreat more timely, immediate OF pre-
cipitate. It was IN utter i'm possibility for
Rarey to get hold OF the bride with his hand
aud it was only after a long, long time, that he
was able, by means OF d carefully managed
stick, to obtain it. There Is no degree in
p!uny5ing, boxing, fighting or caseening to
