 Starting Judge, there shall be no calling back, unless the signal flag 

 shall be hoisted for that purpose, and when so hoisted it shall be no start. 

 To remedy the inconvenience of false starts, there shall be a signal flag 

 placed at a point which can be readily seen by the riders at from one to 

 three hundred yards from the Judges' stand. When a start is given 

 and recalled, a flag from the Judges' stand shall be displayed, and the 

 person having iu charge the signal flag shall hoist the same as a notice 

 to pull up. It shall be the duty of the Starting Judge to give this rule 

 in charge to the riders.

 being made for the same race, both the entries shall be void, and the 

 entrance money forfeited to the Club.

 such permission, or wanting more than one pound of his proper weight, 

 shall be declared distanced. 



Rule XXXVII. The horse who has won a heat shall be entitled to 

 the track in the next heat, and the foremost be entitled to any part of 

 the track, he leaving sufiicient space for a horse to pass him on the 

 outside. But he shall not when locked by another horse leave the track 

 he may be running in to press him to the inside or outside, and having 

 selected his position in a straight stretch, he shall not leave it so as to 

 press his adversary to either side ; the doing of either of which shall be 

 deemed foul riding. Should any rider cross, jostle, or strike an adver- 

 sary or horse, or run on his heels intentionally, or do any thing else that 

 may impede the progress of his adversary, he will be deemed distanced,
