	Bombay Quadrangular - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From 1879 to 1883, the Parsis and Hindus of Bombay were locked in a struggle against the governing Europeans over the use of the playing fields known as the Bombay Maidan.
		Gymkhana members would play polo on the field, rendering much of it useless for cricket because of the large divots left by the horses, while sparing their own European-only cricket ground.
		In 1935, the sports editor of the nationalist Bombay Chronicle, J. Maitra, suggested the Quadrangular be replaced with a geographic-zone-based tournament, to remove the racial and religious overtones.

	Gymkhana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gymkhana (derived from the Urdu word for "racket court"[1]) is an Indian term for a place where sporting events take place and refers to any of various meets at which contests are held to test the skill of the competitors, such as in the sports of equestrianship, gymnastics, or sports car racing.
		In the United Kingdom, the term gymkhana now almost always refers to an equestrian event, often with the emphasis on children's participation (such as those organised by the Pony Club), although in the past the word was sometimes used for motorsport events.
		In equestrian competitions, gymkhana classes are timed speed events such as barrel racing, keyhole, keg race (also know as "down and back"), and pole bending.

	rediff.com: cricket channel: Bombay Gym deprived of date with history
		The English team, which was supposed to land in Bombay for the one-day series, starting January 19, instead alighted at Kolkata after the Board of Control for Cricket in India revised the one-day itinerary, adding a sixth one-dayer to the second phase of the English tour.
		Bombay Gymkhana secretary Rajesh Khanna said even ECB chief executive Tim Lamb had confirmed England's participation for the match, which would commemorate the inaugural Test in 1934, between C K Nayudu's and Douglas Jardine's men.
		Though Bombay hosts the sixth one-dayer, it seems that a single vote against the board's premiership is the reason for the deep ridge that now exists between the BCCI and Mumbai cricket.

		It struck me most forcibly one evening as I was sitting on the long verandah of the Bombay Gymkhana — almost identical to the long verandah of the Karachi Gymkhana — and, as evening descended, a cool breeze raced in from the sea, and carried away the heat of the afternoon.
		And so there were moments in Bombay when it almost seemed possible to believe myself in a dream in which the three cities in which I had spent the previous year all came together in one place, and yet that one place was nothing like any of those other places at all.
