 N. Vinall

 T. Cozens 

 C. Dewing 



Dewing and Tingey are the two foremost steeple- 

 chase riders in India : they are both extremely good. 



A first class jockey, who trains and rides, would expect 

 a salary of about Us. 150 a month, with winning and 

 losing mounts, though the latter might not be charged 

 for in small events. 



On the flat, jockeys' fees are reckoned at Us. 50 for 

 a losing, and Us. 80, sometimes Rs. 100, for a winning 

 mount. Cross-country riders charge Rs. 100 and Us. 

 200. Good native jockeys generally demand Rs. 25 

 and Rs. 50.
