744 MANUAL OF MODERN FARRIERY 



imperfect description according to the rules of entry, may be corrected on pay- 

 ment of a fine of 5 sov., provided that it be proved to the satisfaction of the 

 Stewards, or the Stewards of the National Hunt Committee, that the error was 

 accidental, and provided also that the correction be made within seven days of 

 the publication of the Calendar in which the wrong entry appeared. The correc- 

 tion, if it relate to a race, the entries for which have not been published in the 

 Racing Calendar, must be made before the numbers are exhibited for that race. 



On payment of the fine, an entry may, within the like time, be omitted from a 

 race for which the horse was not qualified, but no other horse may be substituted. 



8 1. No other alteration or addition shall be made in any entry after the time 

 fixed for closing, except when the name of the horse has been changed, or an 

 assumed name of the nominator has been abandoned. 



82. A subscriber to a race may transfer the right of entry under his subscrip- 

 tion to any other person. 



83. Subscriptions and all entries or rights of entry under them become void on 

 the death of the subscriber, and entries (except such as are made under another 

 person's subscription) become void on the death of the persons in whose names 

 they are made. 



84. If either party to a match die the match is off. 



85. An acceptance for a free handicap shall be considered as equivalent to an 

 entry, but if the horse be wrongly described the acceptance shall be void. 



86. In making an entry for a produce race, the produce is entered by speci- 

 fying the dam and sire, or sires. 



87. No horse shall be considered as struck out of any of his engagements, 

 until the owner or some authorised person, shall have given notice in writing, or 

 by telegraph, to be confirmed in writing at the earliest possible opportunity, at 

 the Registry Office or to the Clerk of the Course where the horse is engaged. 



The notification of the death of a horse shall be equivalent to a declaration of 

 forfeit. 



Sale with Engagements. 



88. When a horse is sold with his engagements, or any part of them, the 

 seller cannot strike the horse out of any of such engagements, but, on default of 

 the purchaser, remains liable for the amount of the forfeits in each. 



89. In all cases of sale by private treaty, the written acknowledgment of both 

 parties that the horse was sold with the engagement is necessary to prove the fact, 

 but when the horse is sold by public auction or claimed out of a selling race, the 

 advertised conditions of either the race or the sale are sufficient evidence. If 

 certain engagements only be specified, those only are sold with the horse. 



NOTE. The following are known and recognised as "Lord Exeter's Con- 

 ditions" : 



" The horses are sold without their engagements, but the purchaser has the 

 right of^running for any of them by paying half the stake, and in the event of the 

 horse winning, or being entitled to second or third money, one-third shall be paid 

 to the vendor, but the vendor reserves to himself the right of striking the horse 

 out of any race, in time to save a minor forfeit or discount, unless the purchaser 

 shall give notice that he wishes to run for any particular race, when he will be- 

 come liable for half the stake or forfeit. Horses purchased under Lord Exeter's 

 conditions cannot be re-sold under the same conditions without the written consent 

 of the original vendor.'' 



Assumed Names, Partnerships, and other Joint Interests. 



90. Assumed Names. Assumed names can only be used subject to the 

 following provisions 



(i) An assumed name must be annually registered, and a fee of 10 sov. paid. 

 A registration continues effectual only during the current year. 



(ii) A person cannot register more than one assumed name at the same time, 

 nor can he use his real name so long as he has a registered one. 



(iii) A person cannot register as his assumed name one which has been already 

 registered by any other person, or the real name of any owner of race horses.
