captain of the RhOda Christmas
team, explained today that the
non-participation of Mexico in the
Inter-American last year was due
to the fact that they wished to
train new horses for the interna-
tional team jumping events, so
waited until this year when they
will again compete with their old
rival, Major Eduardo Yanez, cap
tain of the Chilean team, and
Major John T. '"Tupper" Cole,
captain of the United States team.
This team returns with a much
better bred and higher type of
horse. It may be recalled that
in 1886 the United States placed
first, Chile second, Mexico third.
Captain Villareal states that he
now has a competent string of
performers and that, given fair
weather and a certain amount of
good luck, he and his four brother
officers are determined to reverse
the old score and win a leg on
the Herald Times Challenge e
Trophy, which must be won by a
participating team three times for
permanent possession.
This trophy is a most coveted
prize and is destined to become a
historic recorder of horse-show
prestige.
The names of the Mexican
horses are Azteca, Bonaji, Much
acho, Tarasco, Monterey, Jarocho,
Tolteca and Charro. Thomas T.
Morgan, jr., secretary-treaSurer Of
the Inter-American HorseShow AS
sociation, has received word from
Major Cole that his team and
mounts will arrive in Washington
on october Is which means little
time for conditioning and training
the mounts before the show opens.
The Chilean and Mexican
horses are being Schooled daily at
the Fort Myer grounds, both cap
tains reporting their mounts in
fine condition. They will have
some advantage over the United
States entries who have a cross
country trip ahead Of them.
