Abstract


To one who accuses the Indian as one who does not enjoy the pleasures of life, the motley crowd that annually gathers in December in Madras is a challenge. Most of them that go to Madras at this time do so generally to seek pleasure once a year encouraged as they are by the railway concessions a very uncommon consideration at the hands of a railway company. The crowds 'do' Madras in the tram car through the day, and the Park Fair is the rendezvous of the Christmas crowds at night. There they go to see the man with two heads talk, the Indian Sandow exhibit his prowess, the magician his legerdemain or the military hotel its appetising meal.
