This richly colored picture was taken in Asia Minor, where the natives who have marked sporting proclivities amuse themselves in a rather exciting and strenuous manner by racing wild buffaloes. The half savage beasts are harnessed to frail vehicles driven by the natives, and when they are let loose and the race begins it is certainly an exciting bit of sport. They drive through the swamps and mire for a great distance, while the excited spectators cheer them on to victory. Finally exhausted and almost failing in their traces they arrive at their destination, where the prize winners receive their reward.
