wholly or principally uponlocal support. Of these there were some thirtyduring 1902-3, as detailed in the list below.The class of animals catered for, and the valueof the stakes offered vary from year to yearon every course, and many of the meet-ings themselves cannot be regarded as annualfixtures. (3) The official racing year extends from istApril to 31st March, but the racing seasonproper from September to February only. Theattraction of valuable stakes has overcome thedifficulties of distance, and the racing armytravels from Poona in September to Calcutta inDecember, and westward again to Bombay inFebruary. Detachments halt by the way for theDecember and February meets in Lucknow,while the stewards at Bangalore in July and atMeerut in March endeavour with indifferentsuccess to extend the limits of the season.Stakes, value Rs.1500 (/loo) and over, areoffered on these six courses alone, the steeple-chases at Tollygunge being considered as anitem in the January programme in Calcutta.
