AMONG THE MEXICAN TROGLODYTES. 
Continued from page 431. 
comes now and then to read mass, as these 
Indians are supposed to be Christians, although 
they do not vary much in belief from their 
tribal brethren in the western part of the State. 
The election of the governor, Francisco 
Rodriguez, was celebrated the same day that 
we arrived, and we had the good fortune to be 
present at the feast and ceremonies of his 
inauguration. There were more than 200 Tai».- 
humares sitting around the public square, tak¬ 
ing in a succulent (?) meal of izquiate, roast 
mice, half-raw venison and tesgiiino served in 
gourd dippers. This feast lasted for several 
hours, and toward dusk the dance commenced. 
They called their dance matachinas, which is 
about the same as the rutuburi, changed only 
by Spanish influences. This dance was more 
lively than the rutuburi, but I must admit that 
the latter was more fascinating, possibly be¬ 
cause it was brought down from past centuries 
to the present time. The dance lasted more 
than two hours, and the whole music consisted 
of two violins of native make, and, as the Tara- 
hnmares are nati\e born musicians, there was 
scarcely any discord to be noticed. 
The Indians continued to drink their 
tesgiiino. but I was glad to withdraw to my 
tent. Next morning, Sunday, I visited the 
small church and was surprised to see a few 
good paintings. The Spanish missionaries had 
great patience and wonderful will power to 
spread their faith so far away from civilization. 
They tried their best, but superstition could not 
be overthrown by the church. In the after¬ 
noon the feast continued, and I had the idea to 
ofifer a prize for the best shot with a bow and 
arrow. Young men and old took part in the 
contest, and the precision of their shooting was 
really remarkable. The prize consisted of a 
pair of overalls and a blouse, and was won by 
Fabustino, son of the new governor. After 
the shooting match, a great foot race was pre¬ 
pared. Tarahumar means “runner,” so anyone 
can imagine what these Indians are able to do 
in this line, when even the name, which came 
down through untold centuries, indicates their 
superiority in this form of sport. I met there 
a Tarahumare runner, who, carrying lOO 
pounds, ran no miles in seventy hours. They 
can run 170 miles at a dog trot without stop¬ 
ping. A young buck can run 600 miles in four 
or five days, having for food only pinole 
(toasted corn flour) and water. Their en¬ 
durance is wonderful, and I can safely claim that 
they could win any Marathon race, and outdo 
anyone in cross country distance running. A 
few days before the races start, the partici¬ 
pants go into training. They are not permitted 
to touch any intoxicating drink, and they must 
avoid all greasy foods, potatoes, eggs and 
sweetmeats, as such foods make them too
