Note 4 — Chapter II · HISTORIC.
Reading edition
This is still a favorite sport among the Pueblos. They sally out from their villages, mounted on burros, to the prairies, where rabbits are started from their coverts, when the horsemen chase them; using clubs, which they throw with great precision, like the boomerang of the savage Australian. In this way they catch a great many. It is very exciting, and is carried on amid yells and much good-natured laughter.
