To return to yesterday morning's meet. Long before 

 the appointed hour the road to Jodhpore was one string of 

 all sorts of conveyances from the Government House coach 

 down to the useful ticca. Her Excellency the Countess of 

 E)ufferin and suite, as also a party from Belvedere were 

 present. 



The course started on the low ground to the left of 

 the Jodhpore Thannah. The first '' lep " was a hurdle in 

 the open, then it went on to a mud wall winding round by 

 the tank to the two ^//cc^ jumps by the railway. Crossing 

 the Station Road it went down towards the Gurriah Hat 

 Road where another hurdle was placed, then straight out 

 to the " Bund " country over the usual mud walls there. 

 Turning round through a village the course skirted the 

 Tollygunge Gardens and finally sighted the Gurriah Hat 

 Road again, alongside of which was placed a very nice 

 water jump. A little in and out winding and the road was 

 crossed again, and the line continued close up to the station 

 where the last corner was rounded, and the flags placed 

 alongside the Station Road under the bamboos. The 

 ground was in excellent condition from the recent rains, 

 and the going throughout was all that could be desired. 

 There were 22 jumps in all.

The hares, Messrs. Walker and The Tougall, were early 

 at their work, and mounted on Malta and Jack started with 

 the paper shortly after 6-30 laying a careful scent from start 

 to finish. At seven minutes past seven o'clock the race was
