A MEXICAN FOOT RACE.—The Chihuahua,
(Mexican) correspondent of the New York Herald sends ita
account of a recant foot race between four women of hey
e
village of Baconia and four from the village of Sesognich
selected by their villages as their fastest runners. irl'a
course was round an oblong mountain, and was to be oil
14 times, making a distance of above 100 English mile°:
The eight women wore short petticoats. They started "
635 in the morning. By the twelfth round all but three
had dropped from the track. The betting now ran to tilt:
wildest extremes; hoes, ploughs, and other implenien;;r
horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, cats, dogs, and what% is
else there was of value changed hands. Two wiry Bar°- t
women were first in, and were received with the louted
di
s..
of joy by their townspeople. They had finie°,s..
the race at 8 o'clock in the evening, making the whole atuo
tanco, 109 miles, in 13 hours, and 25 minutes. One 3 u
two Baconia women who won had l
given birth to
ten days before, and prepared herself for the coning
bandaging her breasts. The only stops made duriae
,
time by the contestants for the prizes were either totale
little water or eat frugally of pinoli—a simple grin.r° 131
of parched corn, ground and sweetened with sugnthe
the time the race was concluded nearly every Indian °
ground was drunk.
