『中国を旅すれば』:(12)中国の競馬 よくある話なんだが、むちゃくちゃこき使われて死にぞこねえになった馬車馬を持ってる中国人がいて、こいつもそろそろ例のおもしれえ四つ足レースに出さなきゃなんねえ頃合いだと、はたと思い当たったと思いねえ。だからって北京の馬術協会も、馬どもが1里ちょっとを4分で走り切るレース以外にゃなんにも思いつかねえっていうからしょうがねえ。結構ちょいちょい馬はゴールにたどり着くんだが、そいつを奨励しようっていう協会のほうはちっともゴールしそうもねえ。だって勝馬はあとでうちへ凱旋させられるってんだから、・・・なんと荷車に積まれてよ。馬は持ち主が骨の髄までしゃぶりつくそうってんで、競馬に出されるって寸法よ <JOURNEY TO CHINA>: (12) THE HORSE RACES: The Chinese, who have the most wretched coach horses it is possible to imagine, have recognised the necessity to improve this interesting race of quadrupeds. As a consequence the Equestrain Society of Peking could think of inventing nothing better than to create races in which the horses would cover one league in four minutes. Fairly frequently, the horse attains its goal, but never the society for its encouragement: understood that the winner is then taken in triumph to its home... in a cart. He is improved for perpetuity.
