Wild Mustangs in Pennsylvania.

On Blacks Island, FIVE miles from the
City of Philadelphia, on the Delawr So
River, are q drove of eighty or more I'm
tanned mustangs, not one of which has
ever been shod or touched with n strap
of harness. The island is bleak waste
of meadow land, covered by heavy
growth of thick grass. Here the mus
tangs live, as wild and uncared for as
though on the Western plains. The
horses are owned by Messrs. Richard and
Lewis Wistar, two wealthy and eccentric
Philadelphians. In 1873 they took q
couple of Chincoteaguo mares up from
the South and placed them on Blacks
farm, Just below Fort Miffiin. Both the
mares were in foal, and they we're turned
out on the island and allowed to run
wild. From that beginning the herd has
increased us stated. The ponies are at
perfect liberty all the year round, and are
without shelter in winter as we'll as sum-
NOR. In fact, they are to all intents
and purposes, as wild as the widest
mustangs in the West. The colts are
foaIed without shelter of any kind, and
grow up strong, rugged and as wild as
though hundreds of miles from civiliza-
ton. During the winter, when the
ground is covered with snow, the horses
are obliged to paw holes in the snow in
order to get at the dead grass under
meath After the manner of wild horses
they divide themselves into smaller
herds, each having stallion for leader.
There appears to DO q rivalry between
these herds, and royal battles are waged
between the stations. In color the horses
are mostly bays, creams and piebalds,
aud range from thirteen to fifteen hands.
Although the Wistar brothers have not
visited the island for thirteen years, they
steadily refuse to part with any of the
ponies under any consideration.-lPhila'
