LENGTHS OF INDIAN RACE-COURSES 213 



I believe that the Bangalore course, for \\ mile, is 

 about 6 seconds slower than that of Madras. 



The \\ mile at Dehra Doon is very little slower than 

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

 2 seconds slower. 



Eaces over three quarters of a mile at Lucknow gene- 

 rally 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.
