THE JOCKEY CLUB 



129 



During the off season, when there is no regular flat 

 racing, and in connexion with steeplechases, hurdle- 

 races, and a few other contests when flat racing is in 

 progress, the National Hunt Committee is the govern- 

 ing body ; but it acts in close relation with the Jockey 

 Club, and may be said to execute a delegated power. 

 The seasons used to be distinguished as the "legiti- 

 mate" and "illegitimate," but the expressions are less 

 common than they were.

 be judged from the following list of the present
