It is agreed they were ancestors of North American Indians; but the Athabaskas (ancestors of Apaches and Navajos) had an important role in this peopling of America. \ But all western tribes and Mexicans came via Behring Isthmus. The Mexicans (Nahuatls or Aztecs), according to thejr own history, came from western North America. According to Ixtlilxochitl and Tezozomoc, princely Aztec halfbreeds, and sixteenth century Spaniards on the spot, like Duran. Torquemada and Clavigero, the date was about the year A. D. 300. The hieroglyphical map in the Museum of Mexico shows the arrival in barks of the Nahuatls. According to the Kamirez manuscript it was A. D. 800. For Peruvian origins Markham (Lon don, 1911) reduces considerably Monte rinos's date of A. D. 200. For the Mayas. Spinden, "most notable and recent" (New York, 1917$, dates their earliest history about B. C. 235. Mr. Vignaud thinks that these native indications should be re spected. So, the mystery of America continues! If Asiatics occupied America so recently how did they not know the big domestic animals, man's inseparable companions of the Old World, the principle of the wheel, the use of lamps. &c.? Also, can we be lieve that the geological "bridges" of Behring, &c., had not sunk? All the same, our aborigines are of the yellow Asiatic race! Going south, the Mexicans became the Mayas. Now, from their own sparsely deciphered hieroglyphics, Ac., the Mayas established themselves in Yucatan about B. C. 200! So the origin of the Mayas is "the stumbling block of Americanists." They may have "come from the Old World by the east," in which case "they would not be related to the Mexicans at all!" We must "choose between the two opinions, either that the Mayas came up from South America and civilized the Mexicans or that they were a branch of the Mexicans going southward." Charnay, working on the spot, believes the latter. Mr. Vignaud also. But while citing important American works he leaves open a peephole for the mystery still! Apart from color of .skin there is truly "absolutely no proof of race relationship of the Indians of the two Americas"; but "these suffice if you cannot show any other emigrations!" Daniel Wilson, "learned anthropologist to whom Americana owes much," insisted that America was peopled from the south rather than from the north! And Mr. Vignaud himself admits "the Polynesians, like the Indians, are, at least in part, of Mongol origin!" Mr. Vignaud states this along with Daniel Wilson's friendly concession that "a part of the American aborigines may have come by Behring Isthmus." Mr. Vignaud puts K just the other way about. The mass came by way of Behring; but a few many have come northward from "the Secret of the Pacific"! With Horses and Hounds CHASING AND RACING. By Harding Cox. E. P. Dutton A Co. MAJOR HARDING COX was a lead ing light on the raca track in England from about 1880 well into the present century, and he was equally noted as a fox hunter, having at tained the high point of his career as M.F.H. of the Old Berkeley Hunt. His book is a collection of personal reminis cence and anecdote of sporting as mani fested In horse racing and in following the hounds in that vanished England. It is frank, almost naive, and always enter taining, whether one is greatly interested in the "gees" or not. Major Cox very clearly earned the pet name of "Cockle,' ?which perfectly fitted him. Besides being an owner of race horses he was promi nent as a rider, or gentleman jockey, as he backed most of his winning mounts himself. He claims to have introduced the "crouch" seat long before Tod Sloan used it. His reminiscences deal most largely with detailed stories of his many races, of his best horses, of the betting ring, and of race track arcana in general. But, he tells us, he loved dogs even more than horses. As soon as he had a large place of his own he collected a pack of harriers and took to breeding dogs. Later he became Master of the Hunt in an im portant section of the sporting and society world, and the best things in the book are his accounts of several happy runs with the fox hounds. It is all a sprightly nar rative, an entertaining- and illuminative "human document" as well as a sports record of value historically. Most of his anecdotes are new and he tells them well.
