Image Not Available for The Horse Races. The Chinese, who have the most ugly carriage horses one can possibly imagine, have recognized the necessity to improve this interesting breed of quadrupeds. So the horse racing association of Beijing has had no better idea than to make the horses race and over a distance of a mile in 4 minutes. To the contentment of the organizing committee, the winner quite frequently reaches finishing line... on a wheel barrow. The improvement is final.
