The following translation of a letter from a German officer in India to a German 
sporting .paper, the “ Sportswelt” should interest military readers:— 
Calcutta, 
20th December, 1893. 
SlE, 
A few days ago I read an article, entitled “ The Hanover Case, Horse 
Racing,” which appeared in Nos. 264 and 272 of your paper. Everybody who 
has, or has had, anything to do with sport knows how true this article is, and that 
sport has nothing in common with, and is an enemy of, gambling. 
One side of the case is so very clear to me that it has induced me to write to 
you, being as I am now in India, and having thus the opportunity of seeing the 
English army’s idea of sport, and also of being able to enjoy it personally.
