132 THE RACING WORLD 



extended, I do not know, but on the whole I am 

 inclined to think that the conclusion is fairly 

 accurate. 



It is a chief duty of the judge to avoid the least 

 unnecessary loss of time, to see that the winner's 

 number is hoisted at the earliest possible moment, 

 and in order to do this I find the best way, accord- 

 ing to my experience, is to make a tabulated list of 

 the runners so that the lightest colours come first, 

 gradually shading off into the darkest. Before all 

 else the table must be plainly written, and, of 

 course, correct. I go to the weighing-room, 

 ascertain which horses are going to run, and make 

 the entries in my book. Taking an example at 

 random, I will give a race at the July Meeting 

 of 1903.
