LENGTHS OF INDIAN RACE-COURSES. 



215 



As a rule, courses in. the morning give about a couple 

 of seconds slower time for a mile, than they do in the 

 evening. 



I believe that the Bangalore course, for 1-| miles, is 

 about six seconds slower than that of Madras. 



The lj miles at Dehra Doon is very little slower 

 than that on an ordinary flat track ; but the mile is 

 quite 2 sec. slower. 



Eaces over J mile at Lucknow, generally give bad 

 timing, owing to the slight hill, for about half a mile, 

 which leads up to that post. 



The Calcutta, Sonepore, and Meerut courses are very 

 fast.
