DEFINITION OF POINTS. 307 



h. The Go-hy is where a greyhound starts a clear length 

 behind his opponent, and yet passes him in a straight run, 

 and gets a clear length before him. , 



c. The Turn is where the hare is brought round at not less 

 than a right angle from her previous line. 



d. The Wrench is where the hare is bent from her line at 

 less than a right angle : but where she only leaves her line 

 to suit herself, and not from the greyhound pressing her, 

 nothing is to be allowed. 



e. The merit of a kill must be estimated according to whether 

 a greyhound, by his own superior dash and skill, bears the 

 hare ; whether he picks her up through any little accident- 

 al circumstances favouring him ; or whether she is turned 

 into his mouth, as it were, by the other greyhound. 



/. The Trip, or unsuccessful effort to kill, is where the hare 

 is thrown off her legs, or where a greyhound flecks her, 

 but cannot hold her. 



20. The following allowances shall be made for accidents to a 

 greyhound during a course ; but in every case they shall only be 

 deducted from the other dog's score : — 



a. For losing ground at the start, either from being unsighted, 

 or from a bad slip, in which case the Judge is to decide 

 what amount of allowance is to be made, on the prin- 

 ciple that the score of the foremost dog is not to begin 

 until the second has had an opportunity of joining in the 



course.
