CarranZa Tireless HOrseman Despite
 His Sixty Years

Mexico City, Oct. 4.-(By The As sociated Press .)-Correspondents ac- companying President Carranza on his trip to the northern part of the re- public are willing to concede him first honors as hardy and tireless horseman despite his sixty years The president has visited several ranches in Coahuila and Nuevo Leon, making these trips on horseback.
 One correspondent tells of a forty five mile ride across the desert, with out water and through vision obscur- ing dust. At the end of this strenu- ous ride the president clattered into the little village where he was to spend the night, yards ahead of sev- eral of his hardest military men He apparently suffered no i'll effects from the unusual exercise.
 Several times the party was caught by darkness on the desert. Camp was pitched and by the light of log fire the chief executive of Mexico ate his supper and then rolled into his blan- kets for a nights rest. Inasmuch as President Carranza has scarcely been away from the national palace for a year, surprise is expressed at his endurance. It is said that the form CT rancher, for he was prosperous rancher before revolution made him a president, still finds his keenest pleasures out of doors, and is looking forward to the time when he can re- turn to his farm interests in Coahu- fla and live again the bucolic life.
