Of course, ahorse will fatten up if running loose on the plains; but if taken right o& the range and compelled to make a hard ride or drive, it would soon play out. But to the Indians these six flying animals were marvelous. Our Spaniards real- jlzed that it would not do ^o make the distance too long on account of the condition of the animals, so the race was soon over. But now the fun is to begin, for it has been pre- arranged with Ysopete that after the race he is to go to Chief Tatar rax and... request him to select young men of his people to ride the horses in a race, the same as did the soldiers . Then the big chief harangued the people, vociferously announcing the kindness of the visitors and extolling them for their sldll, but ends Ilia speech by informing them of the offer, and requests all those who, desire to undertake the ordeal to present themselves before him; but just as soon as HOBSB RACE ON THE PRAIRIES. 209 it was understood what was offered, there was hurry- mg and urgent scrambling to get to the front by hun- dreds of young fellows, for let it be recoi^ded', they knew not what fear waS, and such an opportunity was not often afforded them to display their willingness to participate in a hazardous undertaking, for so it looked to them, but so numerous were the volunteers that the chief was in a dilemma, so turned to the other chiefs and announced that he had a solution of the difficulty, and then informed all the people that he had concluded to designate his youngest son as a representative of his own people, but recommended that the chief men of the tribes present be permitted to iappoint a rider, so the Osages, Pawnees, Missouris and Omahas each named one; but one horse ,$till lacked a rider.
