COURSING. 45 



(6.) The Go-lye 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 Merits 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 accidental 

 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. 



The following allowances shall be made for accidents to 

 a G-reyhound 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 un- 

 sighted or from a bad slip, in which case the judge is to 

 decide what amount of allowance is to be made, on the principle 

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

 second has had an opportunity of joining in the course; and 

 the judge may decide the course, or declare the course to be an 

 undecided or no course as he may think fit. 



(6.) Where a hare bears very decidedly in favour of one of 

 the Greyhounds after the first or subsequent turns, in which 

 case the next point shall not be scored by the dog unduly 

 favoured, or only half his points allowed, according to circum- 

 stances. No Greyhound shall receive any allowance for a fall 

 or an accident, with the exception of being ridden over by the 

 owner of the competing Greyhound or his servant, provided 

 for in Rule 30, or when pressing his hare, in which case his 

 opponent shall not count the next point made. 



[E-ULE 30. Riding over a Greyhound. If any subscriber or 

 his servant shall ride over his opponent's Greyhound while 

 running a course, the owner of the dog so ridden over shall,
