GOODWOOD COURSE MEASURED 283 



the Cup course carefully measured, and it proved to 

 be 2 miles 5^ furlongs. It is now described as about 

 2 miles 5 furlongs. Naturally, such a distance as that 

 is a law unto itself as regards time, and does not bear 

 useful comparison with any other. 



The subject is not a very exhilarating one, but it is of 

 some importance, and as I have given considerable study 

 to it I venture to interpolate some few of my views.
