[Original caption] Madras, A road in the Suburbs. Such a sense as this would be looked upon every day by a pedestrian who chose to extend his walk from the fashionable Mount Road and Chepauk Park into the native quarter of Black Town. Here are date palms shading low-roofed houses, where active life goes on briskly behind the chicks (sunblinds), and articles of native use are conveyed about in gharries, big and little, drawn by soft-eyed Indian oxen.
