NATIONAL COURSING CLUB RULES. 305 



17. The Judge shall be subject to the general Rules which may- 

 be established by the National Coursing Club for his guidance. 

 He shall, on the termination of each course, immediately deliver his 

 decision aloud, and shall not recall or reverse his decision, on any 

 pretext whatever, after it has been declared, but no decision shall 

 be delivered until the Judge is perfectly satisfied that the course is 

 absolutely terminated. 



18. He shall decide all courses upon the one uniform principle 

 that the greyhound which does most towards killing the hare dur- 

 ing the continuance of the course is to be declared the winner. 

 The principle is to be carried out by estimating the value of the 

 work done by each greyhound, as seen by the Judge, upon a bal- 

 ance of points according to the scale hereafter laid down, from 

 which also are to be deducted certain specified allowances and 

 penalties. 



19. The points of the course are — 



a. Speed — which shall be estimated as one, two, or three 

 points, according to the degree of superiority shown. [See 

 Definition below, r/.] 



h. The Go-hy. — Two points, or, if gained on the outer circle, 

 three points. 



c. The Turn. — One point. 



d. The Wrench. — Half a point. 



e. The Kill. — Two points, or, in a descending scale, in pro- 

 portion to the degree of merit displayed in that kill, which 

 may be of no value. 



/. The Trip. — One point.
