170 HISTORY OF THE 



Jockey Club will be adjudged according to their 

 published rules and orders, where any of them are 

 applicable to the case submitted to them ; and 

 where not, according to the established rules of 

 racing. 



At a meeting of the Jockey Club, held the 25th 

 of April, 1833, it was resolved that from and after 

 the end of the year 1833, horses shall be con- 

 sidered at Newmarket as taking their ages from 

 the 1 st of January instead of the 1 st of May. 



October 30th, 1833, it was resolved, that 

 the second Spring meeting, the July meeting, 

 and the first October meeting in each year, begin- 

 ning with the year 1835, should commence on the 

 Tuesday instead of Monday. 



It was resolved, at a meeting of the Jockey Club 

 held on the 5th May, 1835, that the Newmarket, 

 the July stakes, the October Oatlands, and all the 

 public engagements now entered into for more 

 than one year at Newmarket, should for the future 

 be subscriptions for one year only. 



At a meeting of the Jockey Club, held on Wed- 

 nesday in the Houghton meeting, it was resolved, 

 that in future the stewards should have the power, 

 in cases of urgent necessity, of putting off the 

 races from day to day, and that all bets on such 

 races should stand
