ORIGINAL 1920s TRADE - ADVERTISING CARD
YOUNG BOYS HORSE RACING IN PARAGUAY SOUTH AMERICA
The races were very peculiar. The course was
short, only about three furlongs, and perfectly
straight.. Only two horses ran at once, so the
races were virtually a succession of 'heats', but
the excitement and betting were tremendous. The
jockeys were little Indian boys and their  'colours'
consisted of red, blue or green bathing drawers.
Otherwise they were stark naked, and of course bare-
legged. The Jockeys. principal preoccupation seemed
to be either to kick the opposing jockey in the face
or to crack him over the head with the butts of their
raw-hide whips.
The Ladies present were nearly all barefoot and clad in the
invariable white petticoat and sheet. Every single
woman and every child, even infants of the tenderest
age, pad a green Paraguayan cigar in their
mouths.
