 clusion of the last heat thereof, the several positions which 

 have been assigned to each horse so contending shall be 

 considered as to every heat in the race — that is, horses hav- 

 ing won two heats better than those winning one; a horse 

 that has won a heat better than a horse only making a dead 

 heat; a horse winning one or two heats and making a dead 

 heat better than one winning an equal number of heats, but

 a dead heat, and not distanced in the race, better than a 

 horse that has not won a heat or made a dead heat; a horse 

 that has bi^en placed " second" twice, better than a horse 

 that has been placed " second" only once, etc. 



When two or more horses shall be equal in the race at the 

 commencement of a final heat thereof, they shall rank as to 

 each other as they are placed in the decision of such final 

 heat.
