 expiration of fifteen days after the meeting render an account and 

 pay over all stakes and added money to the persons entitled, and at 

 the same time notify at the Registry Office all arrears ; and one 

 month before the publication of the next available Forfeit List he

Clerk of the Scales. — 30. The Clerk of the Scales shall exhibit the 

 number as allotted on the official card of each horse for which a 

 jockey has been weighed out, and shall forthwith furnish the Starter 

 with a list of such numbers, and the numbers shall not be taken 

 down until the horses are started. 31. If extra, or special, weight 

 be declared for any horse, such weight shall be exhibited with the 

 number ; also any declaration to win, or alteration of colours. 

 32. He shall in all cases weigh in the riders of the horses placed 

 by the Judge, and report to the Stewards any jockey not presenting 

 himself to be weighed in. 33. The Clerk of the Scales shall 

 always put 2lb. extra into the scale to prove that the horse has not 

 carried too much weight. 34. He shall at the close of each 

 day's racing send a return to the Registry Office of the weights 

 carried in every race, and the names of the jockeys, specifying over- 

 weight if any. 



The Starter. — 35. The Starter shall give all orders necessary for 

 securing a fair start. The horses must be started from a walk, and 

 also, as far as possible, in a line, but they may be started at such 

 reasonable distance behind the starting-post as the Starter thinks 

 necessary. 36. Any jockey presuming to start, or even to put his 

 horse into a trot or canter, with a view to take any advantage 

 before the flags are dropped, wilfully turning his horse round, not 

 starting when the flags are dropped, hanging behind, or refusing to 

 obey the commands of the Starter in any respect whatever, shall be 

 reported to the Stewards. 37. A start in front of the starting-post, 

 or on a wrong course, or before the appointed time, is void, and the 

 horses must be started again as soon as practicable. 38. The 

 Starter shall report to the Stewards the time at which each race was 

 actually started ; and shall also report by whom, or by what cause, 

 any delay was occasioned. 



The Judge. — 39. The Judge, or his authorised substitute, must 

 occupy the Judge's box at the time the horses pass the winning-post.
