Ley Senor Davies who spent sixteen months in the last 24 in the capital City of Mexico has become quite an expert in the use of the native language of that country. He can toss off his Sisi a etc., with an air of nonchalance that demands immediate respect from those of us who Are still trying to master Plain English. And he s even got the expressive shrug of the shoulders Down As perfectly As any Peon. Between shrugs and Sisi s it s become somewhat of a habit or. Davies told us something about mexican racing when we chatter with him shortly after his arrival Here Friday. According to Lou the sport of Kings enjoyed its greatest year at the hippodrome de Las americas since that Beautiful and costly track was opened three seasons ago. Situated about four Miles from the heart of the City which has a popu lation of the races Drew record crowds and betting figures were the highest in history. Davies opines that part of the Success of the meet which runs four Days weekly Over a period of months can be Laid Down to the cessation of racing in the United states. When James Byrnes issued his no racing edict some 250 horses Many of them outstanding were shipped from the . To Campaign in said Lou. This brought the total number stabled at the track to 000, the largest Ever. Long with the additional horses there also arrived Many american tourists whose pockets were Well filled with plenty of the Long Green with which to pour into the Mutual machines. In says Davies Mexico City practically became the racing Capi Tal of North America for Many of the outstanding turf authorities m the states such As Frank Ortell president of the new York turf writers association Fred Keats by. Daily Mirror and Bill Mcauley Boston record arrived on the scene and sent Home hundreds of words while the arrival of Many crack horses proved a great incentive to racing in Mexico City Davies says the highlight was the return of the horse Gay Dalton. Winner of the Handicap de Las americas last Vear and richest race on the North american continent being Worth s2g.ooo. Gay Dalton was owned by the late capt Terrance Patrick o Hay. Sol Dier of Fortune stories of life have appeared in this column from time to time. Gay Dalton is somewhat of a National hero in Mexico. He is to racing there what the great Joey was to the sport in Western Canada. Every time he goes to the Post the fans make him favorite and winning or losing he gets a terrific says Davies Gav Dalton is entered in the thud weve got them on the run now sunday and while he will be up against a lot tougher Competition than he was last year with such crack racers As famous Victory Broad Grin and be fearless among others facing the starting Barrier Lou claims hell be favorite even if he goes to the Post with Only three sound Leas. A popular campaigner on the Western circuit for the past few years Davies reports that Lou Marks the Lexington Kentucky horseman has done Well at Mexico City this season with his string of 23 horses. Marks Hopes that i will be Able to take in the Prairie meetings again this year. While Davies enjoyed his stay in Mexico this year he says the country is really suffer ing from inflation with prices for some articles especially clothing absolutely prohibitive. You can say that interjected mrs Davies. Why the saturday before we left there i paid s10 for a 14 Pound roast of beef and 10 cents for a Pound of onions. You can get two pounds of the latter Here for three Yole Gusta Mexico Pero despues de Ocho Mes Winnipeg is Muy spouted mrs. Davies who also knows her Spanish and onions. Loo.
