Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Account of the Stables, Great Course for Chariot Races, Steeple-Chases, Hurdle Races, All Other Arrangements at the Crystal Palace, With Plan The conformation of the Greek hippodrome was not unlike that of the great course formed in the Crystal Palace grounds the sides being parallel, and one end semicircular. The site for the hippodrome of old was also chosen, as a rule, on the side of a hill. The circuit of the Olympic hippodrome was about feet, or a little less than half a mile; that of the course on the first and second terraces of the Crystal Palace is feet, or half as long again. The width of the Greek hippodrome was about 400 feet; that of the Crystal Palace also 400 feet. The Circus Maximus of Rome was three stadia, or about feet, in length; and about 600 feet across.
