 their owners in the division. The terms of any arrangements to divide the 

 winnings, and the amount of any money given to induce the owner of a dog to 

 draw him, must be declared by the secretary. 



23. WINNERS OF STAKES RUNNING TOGETHER. If two Greyhounds 

 shall each win a stake, and have to run together for a final prize or challenge 

 cup, should they not have run an equal number of ties in their respective 

 stakes, the Greyhound which has run the smaller number of courses must 

 run a bye, or byes, to put itself upon an equality in this respect with its oppo- 

 nent. 



24. GREYHOUND GETTING LOOSE. Any person allowing a Greyhound to 

 get loose, and to join in a course which is being run, shall be fined $5. If the 

 loose Greyhound belong to either of the owners of the dogs engaged in the 

 particular course, such owner shall forfeit his chance of the stake with the 

 dog then running, unless he can prove to the satisfaction of the stewards that 

 he had not been able to get the loose Greyhound taken up after running its 

 own course. The course is not to be considered as necessarily ended when a 

 third dog joins in. 



25. RIDING OVER A GREYHOUND. If any subscriber, or his servant, 

 shall ride over his opponent's Greyhound while running in a course, the owners 

 of the dog so ridden over shall (although the course be given against him) be 

 deemed the winner of it, or shall have the option of allowing the other dog to 

 remain and to run out the stake, and in such case shall be entitled to half the 

 winnings, if any. 



26. DESCRIPTION OF ENTRY. Every subscriber to a stake must name 

 his dog at or before the entry, giving the names (the running names, if they had

 detailed in writing to the secretary of a meeting at the time of entry. No 

 Greyhound is to be considered a puppy which was whelped before the 1st of 

 January of the same year preceding the commencement of the season of run- 

 ning. A sapling is a Greyhound whelped on or after the 1st of January of the 

 same year in which the season of running commenced, and any Greyhound 

 whose marks and pedigrees shall be proved not to correspond with the entrj* 

 given, shall be disqualified, and the whole of its stakes or winnings forfeited. 



27. BREEDING PUPPIES. Every member of the club breeding puppies 

 shall notify the secretary, in writing, within ten days after the birlh of any 

 puppies, of the number of dogs and bitches, colors and other distinguishing 

 marks, date of birth, and the name of sire and dam. Any member violating 

 this rule will not be allowed to enter or run any of such puppies in a puppy or 

 sapling stake. 



28. ALTERATION OF NAME. If any subscriber should enter a Grey- 

 hound by a different name from that in which it shall have last run in public, 

 he shall give notice of the alteration to the secretary at the time of entry, and
