 selected for the purpose, and the record of their names as 

 well as the time must be kept. 



Sec. 2. Time otherwise taken, at fairs and on any 

 track, whether short or not, shall be known as a bar^ and 

 shall constitute a bar the same as if regularly made over 

 a track that was full measurement.

 mile, and exceeding a half mile, shall be regarded as 

 irregular^ and time made in any such race shall create a 

 bar.

 tained, it shall be declared not a record but a bar.
