Rule XXXII. Of" Forfeits. — A person owing a forfeit in any stake 

 or match run over, or agreed to be run over any Course, shall not be 

 allowed to start a horse for a purse or sweepstake, but no charo-e that

 Club, shall be allowed to run, though said horse be entered in another 

 name or found in another stable. Whenever the Judges are informed 

 that a person has entered, or caused a horse to be entered or named in

 an examination of the evidence, so as to enable them to come to a cor- 

 rect decision upon the case. 



Rule XXXIII. Disqualification as to Age. — Where there is a doubt 

 about the age of a horse, the Judges may call in the assistance of per-

 in deciding the question. When a clear case of disqualification is made 

 out, the entrance money is forfeited, and they shall not allow the horse 

 to start in the race ; but if they have doubts, they may allow the horse 

 to run ; and if he prove a winner, they shall retain the money or purse, 

 and give the party sixty days to procure testimony touching the case. 

 If the disqualification is made out they shall pay the money to the owner 

 of the horse that was placed second in the race ; and if it is not made 

 out, they shall pay the money to the owner of the horse that was placed 

 best in the race.

 penalty of expulsion from the Course.
