they breed them" The polo played
at the Jockey Club and Hippodrome
is indeed q thrilling spectacle.
It is possible for tourists to ar
range to visit the huge Martona
estancia not far out of town. This
will give one some conception Of the
vast ranches throughout Argentina,
which are so difficult to visit be-
cause of the lack Of adequate auto
mobile roads. But the Martona Is
easily reached and the picturesque
gauchos who herd the cattle offer a
tantalizing glimpse Of life on the
pampas. The palatial hacienda of
Senior Casares, the estanciero, is
filled with art treasurers, but one
must be introduced by friend In
order to be invited in.
A pleasant trip across the River
Plate takes the traveller from Ar
gentina to Uruguay. The crossing re-
quires full night, for at this point
the distance across the mouth of
the Rio de Ia Plata is greater than
the rivers length. But the boat
is comfortable and the state rooms
clean, and next morning after
cup of hot coffee, the passengers
disembark in Montevideo.
Montevideo is a fine place to play.
This city of gardens, parks and
beaches Is called "The Riviera of
South America" The climate Is
warm and salubrious from December
to June and it is favorite resort
of Argentinos during the hot
weather, for it is cooled by Atlantic
breezes and the beaches abound in
good hotels.
South American travellers will en-
joy the novelty of sea-bathing in
a river, for the ocean sweeps up
stream here and the water Is salty.
Wide boulevards lead out to the
beautiful beaches. bordered with
groves Of tall eucalyptus tres and
Towering gardens.
There is some fine statuary In the
parks and paseos. One particularly
interesting bronze group depicts
covered wagon drawn by eight oxen
and driven by gaucho. 1t Is so
realistic that you can almost hear
the lash of his whip, as the beasts
strain toward.
Some of the public buildings are
architectural gems. The new cap
itol. in classic Greek style, has Won
derful mosaics in many colors and
the use of various marbles in the
central hall is exceptionally good.
The Avenida de 18 de Julio, with its
two and a half miles of fine shops
and houses, is one of the most at
tractive streets in South America.
The hours will slip by uncounted
in Montevideo during days of sight
seeing. lolling on sunny beaches and
shopping. In the shops one finds
antiques, Spanish jewelry and heavy
stirrups of gold and silver which
make interesting oraments. The
very ornate silver knives that
gauchos carry in their belts make
exceedingly beautiful paper knives.
Ones evenings can be spent dining
and dancing in the resort hotels, or
at the Soils Theater where great
artists of the stage and screen per-
form en- tour between Buenos Aires
and Rio. No doubt the tourist will
also succumb to the lure of the
roulette wheel at the Casino. No
matter what his luck, he will return
home rich in memories.

Buenos Aires is often referred to
as "the Paris of South America, F."
but visitors from the United States
will be reminded of Chicago. The
two cities are alike both geograph-
ically and in tempo, although one
never fails to realize he is in a
foreign land. The wide, fiat coun-
tryside is like our own Middle West,
the city is big and bustling and the
Argentinos are rather similar in
temperament to our ambitious and
Industrious Middle Westerners. The
climate, too, is about the same, only
the seasons are reversed. The warm
est months in Buenos Aires are
from December until June.
Travellers who approach Argentina
along the east coast, going from
Brazil by plane, have a view of the
great IguaZu Falls while crossing
the little country of Paraguay. These
majestic falls are larger than Nj
! agara, and viewed from the air in
their surroundings of deep jungle,
present dramatic picture. After
leaving Asuncion, Paraguay, the
jungle begins to give way to the
great plains of the pampas and by
midafternoon one is in the most
cosmopolitan city in South America
-Buenos Aires.
Motoring across town from the
airport gives the newcomer good
Idea of the immensely of this me-
tropolis. Its broad avenues are lined
with fine shops, big buildings loom
up against the skyline and many
beautiful parks and plazas add to
the feeling of spaciousness. The
arts have kept pace with industrial
progress and the outdoor sculpture
rivals that of the cities of Europe
and the United States.

Cheaper meals in the Laurentian
Mountains, north of Montreal, will
be a major attraction for skiers this

have decided to inaugurate a buffet
service which will afford skiers
prompt service and good meals at

will seek a corner in which to

happen to hear his walls Of dis

called when your pet acts in a

true, and there seems to be little
doubt as to Seabiscuit's being the
superior horse on that day.
But horses are just like people
in many respects. Some days a
horse will work out and run a
race so much more efficiently than
on other days that it sometimes
causes a question as to the in
tegrity of the trainer and jockey
Humans only have to be reminded
of their own physical makeup and
explain why, no matter how robust
their health is, duties or physical
eXertion are so much easier on
some days than on others. Foot
ball, baseball, soccer and other
games that produce good athletes
can never send out player that
won't play one game little better
than another. And so it is with a
horse.
But the good horse is like the
good athlete; he is far more con-
sistent in his performances than
those of less vigorous constitu.
tions.
While no glory is taken from
Seabiscuit in his triumph over
War Admiral, there Is a possibil
ity that the verdict may be re-
versed if such a meeting should
again take place.
LOOKED TUCKED UP, DRAWN
It is this scribe's opinion that
at the time of the match race
War Admiral had no excuse what
soever when defeated by The Bis
cult. except that his condition
had not the bloom. Of his con-
queror. He was not so cleverly
handled in training or in the sad
die, for the little son of Man O.
War looked tucked up and drawn,
as being overtrained, while the
son of Hard Tack was as good as
hands could make him. George
Woolfe certainly outsmarted
Charlie Kurtsinger, for he fully
knew that The Admiral's defeat
depended upon the first half-miIe
of the race. This he made sure
of when he sent his horse away
from the barrier running, and set
a pace which the Riddle horse
could not break.
These two horses have been
nominated for the Widener Chal
lenge Cup and, according to Mr.
Howard, it all depends upon the
weight with which Charles Nc
Lehman will burden Seabiscuit as
to whether his champion will re
main in the East or go to the West
Coast for the Santa Anita Handi
cap. Seabiscuit is at Columbia
S. c., being freshened up fol
