The regula tion of 'ricksha traffic on Race days is, chiefy owing to the narrowness of Queen's Road, a tank of to little din ealty to the police--and it must be said to their oredit that they perform the task very well,and if their difficulties are to be increased by the dimination of the width of rosd available for trafia, their task will be an almost impossible ore. It may be possible to have the trenches in the roads filled up and the obstructions removed before the first day of the Races, but in that case the work will have to be done with much greater celerity than is usual in operations carried on in connection with the Public Works Department. Even if the franches are filled up before that time and the obstructions to traffic got at of the way, the road will certainly be in ever wores condition than 'REVA.
