of all must be stated. In all cases such pedigree and description 

 must be given as will clearly distinguish the horse entered from all 

 other horses ; and if the pedigree of the sire or dam be unknown, 

 such further particulars must be given as to where, when, and from 

 whom it was purchased or obtained as will identify it. 81. AVhen- 

 ever the name under which a horse has run at any recognised 

 meeting in any country is changed or abandoned, his old name, as 

 well as his new name or description, must be given in every entry 

 until the change has been published in two Monthly " Calendars " 

 or the Book "Calendar," and a fee of ^5 paid. 82. No alteration 

 or addition shall be made in any entry after the time fixed for 

 closing, except in cases expressly sanctioned by these rules. 83. In 

 the event of a horse being entered for a race with an incorrect or 

 imperfect description according to the rules of entry, such error or 

 omission may, if accidental, be corrected on payment of a fine of 

 ^5, at any time before the horse's number is exhibited for that 

 race, provided that the identity of the horse be satisfactorily proved. 

 If the above correction be not made, or the horse struck out, within 

 seven days after the error has been officially brought to the know- 

 ledge of the owner or his agent, or if any horse runs without the 

 prescribed correction having been made, the Stewards of the Jockey 

 Club may inflict fines upon, or otherwise deal with, any persons 

 responsible for such errors. 84. When, subsequently to the time 

 fixed for closing, a registered name has been published for any horse 

 entered, the entry may be amended by inserting such name in 

 addition to the name or the description given in the original entry. 

 85. A subscriber to a race may transfer the right of entry under his 

 subscription to any other person. 86. Subscriptions and all entries, 

 or rights of entry under them, become void on the death of the 

 subscriber, and entries (except such as are made under another 

 person's subscription) become void on the death of the person in 

 whose name they are made. 87. If either party to a match die the 

 match is off. 88. An acceptance of the weight for a free handicap 

 shall be considered as equivalent to an entry ; but if the horse be 

 wrongly described, the acceptance shall be void. 89. In making an 

 entry for a produce race, the produce is entered by specifying the 

 dam and sire or sires. 90. No horse shall be considered as struck 

 out of any of his engagements until the owner, or some duly autho- 

 rised person, shall have given notice in writing or by telegraph to be 

 confirmed in writing, at the Registry Office or to the Clerk of the
