I.— DEFINITION AND INTERPRETATION OF THESE RULES. 1. Race, includes plate, sweepstakes, steeplechase or hurdle race. 2. Plate, means a race to be run for money or other prize given without any stake being made by the owner of the horses engaged, to go to the winner. 3. Sweepstakes, means a race in which stakes are to be made by owners of three or more horses, to go to the winner ; and any such race is still a sweepstake, even although the number is reduced by death to two subscribers, or although money or any other prize be added, and although the word "plate" be used in the official or ordinary name or description of such race. 4. A private sweepstake under these rules is one to which no money is added, and which has not been advertised previous to closing. 5. A cup under these rules, means a piece of plate, or any prize not given in money. 6. Recognized meeting, or recognized race, means a meeting or race held in accordance with and under these rules. 29 7- A match at catch weights, means a match in which the riders need not weigh before or after the race. Catch weights are permissible only for matches. 8.

If any alteration be made in a number after it has been exhibited, the Stewards may call upon the owner, trainer, or jockey for an explanation, and if no satisfactory explanation be given, the owner, trainer or jockey may be fined, and the horse shall not be allowed to start nor the jockey to ride again until the fine is paid. a) Every jockey who is to lide in the race shall weigh at the appointed or usual place, unless specially excused by the Stewards. {b) No person shall, without special leave from the Stewards in writing, be admitted to the weighing- room except the ow^ner, trainer and jockey, or other person having the care of a horse engaged in the race. [c) If a jockey intends to carry overw^eight exceed- ing by two pounds the weight at which his horse is to run, he must declare the amount of such overweight. The declaration must be made to the clerk of the scales not later than twenty minutes before the time appointed for the start ; and the clerk shall exhibit the amount of such extra weight with the number of the horse. {d) If a horse carry more than two pounds over- weight, which has not been duly declared, he is dis- 39 qualified, unless the Stewards be satisfied that such excess has been caused by wet weather. {e) Any overweight exceeding two pounds which has been carried, w^hether it has been duh' declared, or the horse has been disqualified, shall be published in "The Spirit of the Times," and the clerk of the scales shall send a return thereof to the Registry Office. {/) Every trainer shall have his horse at the post, ready to start, at the time appointed by the Stewards; and every jockey is to be there, ready to start at the same time. Every trainer or jockey making default herein shall be fined. {g) Every jockey must, immediately on pulling up, ride his horse to the place of weighing, and there im- mediately dismount and be weighed by the clerk of the scales. Provided that, if a jockey be prevented from riding to the place of weighing by reason of accident or illness, by which he or his horse is dis- abled, he may walk or be carried to the scales. {h) If a jockey do not weigh in or be short of weight, or be guilty of any fraudulent practice with respect to weight or weighing, or dismount before reaching the scales, or touch except accidentally any person or thing other than his own equipments before weighing in, his horse is disqualified, unless he can satisfy the Stewards that he was justified by extraordinary cir- cumstances. (z) It is optional for the jockey to weigh out or in with his bridle, and the clerk of the scales shall, if re- quested, allow one pound for a curb or double bridle ; 40 but no weight shall be allowed for a snaffle bridle un- less it is put into the scales before the horse is led away, and no whip or substitute for a whip shall be allowed in the scales. {j ) If a horse run in a hood or clothing it must be put into the scale and included in the jockey's weight. {k) The clerk of the scales shall always put two pounds extra into the scale to prove that the horse has not carried too much weight. (/) In the event of any jockey, after having been weighed out and his number having been exhibited on the telegraph board, not take part in the race, he shall be fined 125, and the case reported to the Committee, and until the Committee shall have decided the case the jockey shall be suspended from riding. 61. The horses must be started by the official Starter or his authorized deputy or substitute. No horse, when once in the Starter's hands, shall go back, except in the case of an accident. {a) The Starter may give all such orders and take all such measures as are necessary for securing a fair start ; and in particular he may, if he think it neces- sary, order the horses to be drawn up in a line as far behind the starting post as he thinks necessar^^ (<^) The horses must be started from a walk. If the Starter allow a start to take place in front of the start- ing post the start is void, and the horses must be started again, and the Starter shall forfeit a sum not exceeding I50. {c) The horses shall so far as is practicable be drawn 41 up before the start in an order (reckoned from the whip hand) to be determined, when the Stewards think fit, by lots to be drawn by the jockeys at the time of weighing out. {d) The person appointed to start the horses shall mark in his list the time when the horses in each race actually started ; and if there have been any false starts, the first of them shall be considered as the time of starting for that race, and he shall make a report thereof to the Stewards in the afternoon of the day the races are run. And if any delay shall have taken place, he shall state by whom, or by what cause, the delay was occasioned. (^ person whose name is in the unpaid forfeit list, and who has been twice so published in "The Spirit of The Times ;" also everyjockey who has been suspended for corrupt practices on the turf, so long as the sentence against such person or jockey remains in force. They shall, in like manner, exclude any person who has been declared by the Stewards of any recognized meeting in any country, to have been guilty of any corrupt or fraudulent practice on the turf. They shall further have power to exclude at 48 their discretion, any person from all or any places under their control. 85. If any case occurs which is not, or which is al- leged not to be, provided for by these rules, it shall be determined by the Stewards in such manner as they think just, and they shall report the case with their decision to the Committee for confirmation. 86. The decision of the Stewards or of the Committee of the Club in case of appeal shall be final, and shall not be questioned in any court, except by leave of the Stewards by whom it was made. 87.

XII.— MISCEIvLANEOUS. ii8.

(c) In estimating the amount a horse has won in any one or more races, account shall be taken of all cups or moneys, whether derived from stakes, bonus, sweepstake, or an}' other source, gained b}' him for his owner or for any other person, onh'his own stake and entrance, and any money pa3^able to other horses by the conditions of the race being deducted.

Scratched A great deal of unnecessary delay at the start in the second heat was caused by Messrs. Keene and Kernochan, whose mission at this particular time appeared to be to worry Mr. A. Belmont Purdy, the starter. After each had been fined I50, a start was made. Both heats in this race were beautifully run, and resulted in a close contest between Rattler and Bar None, the former winning each time by a head. The result was particularly happy in a home pony 6o winning. Both Mr. Dallett and Mr. Jacob displa5^ed excellent jockeyship. Mr. Keene, on Wings, was left in the first heat. Time — First heat, i8 seconds ; second heat, i8)4 seconds. Second Race.— Orange Handicap, value $200, of which $50 to second. Entrance $20, p. p. Open handicap for ponies 14 hands I inch and under.

Josephine H. , 6, 145 Scratched This was considered the best race of the day, con- siderable rivalry existing between Roulette and Buck- shot. A good start was made and Keene immediately took the lead. Roulette and Betsy following. At the half Mr. Haight (Two Bits), mistaking distance, pulled up. Buckshot held the lead until last quarter, when Roulette passed him, and going to the front won easily by about a length. Betsy made a gallant race, defeating Sweetheart, Time — 1.25^. Third Race. — Champion Stakes, value $200, $50 to second. Entrance $20, p. p. Open handicap for horses 14 hands 3 inches and under. One mile on the flat. Value 5150. Tamalamah Stable's gr. g.

Kilbreth ch. g Trouble, a., 145. . .Mr. Dallett, Disqualified This was a beautiful race and well ridden. Punjaub took the lead until overhauled bj^ Chieftain, who held it until the last quarter, when Trouble, abl}' handled by Dallett, went to the front, winning by a neck after a strong drive. Mr. Dallett' s win was very popular 6i and all the Orange spectators were greatly enthused. Unfortunately, Mr. Dallett, on dismounting and be- fore weighing out, went outside the track for his mackintosh, whereupon he was protested by the Tamalamah Stables. The rule is very strict in this particular, making it imperative for the judges to abide by it, and in consequence Trouble was disquali- fied and Chieftain given the race. Of course this verdict was not popular, and I heard many remarks among the uninformed that it was straining a point, etc, all of which was entirely absurd. What is the object in having rules if they are not to be respected, and if one offender were pardoned what would be the result of inflicting the penalt}^ on the next guilty one? Although Mr. Dallett deserved the stakes he had won so handsomely, the protest was entirely correct. As an evidence that it was done in the interest of the sport, Mr. Bell gave the stakes to the Essex Club to help defray the expenses of the meeting. Time — 2.02^.
