PONY ROUND Up
SET THURSDAY

CH1NCOTEAGUE, Va, July %.
The annual pony round up on
Chincoteague Island, one Of the
most thrilling and historic events
in this section Of the country,
will be held next Thursday.
Scores Of island residents will
get together, go out in the
marshes, round up the ponies and
drive them into a stockade erected
in town.
The wild ponies will be sold or
branded and allowed to go back
and roam in the marshes for an
other year. In addition there will
be pony races, a water carnival
and a firemen'S carnival.
The island was first settled by
white men in 1872, and legend
has it that before that time it was
the home of the Indian chief
Powhatan, father of Pocahontas.
Just where the ponies came
from has never been learned, but
the tradition is they came ashore
from a Spanish ship that was
wrecked off the coast.
For many years the last Thurs
day in July has been set aside as
Pony Penning Day" and the day
is a holiday on the island, while
almost every man is engaged in
rounding up the spirited ponies.
