Rule V. No person can run more than one horse for any phitc, nor 

 for any race in heats. 



Rule VI. When two horses run a dead heat, and their owners a<^ree 

 to divide, both are liable to carry extra weight as winners. Walking 

 over or receiving forfeit will be deemed winning. The winner of a. 

 sweepstakes, where two only start, is considered to win a sweepstakes 

 In estimating winnings, no deduction can be made except the winner's 

 own stake, and any sum or sums required by the conditions to be paid 

 to any other horse or horses in the race. Entrance money for plates 

 not to be deducted. 



Rule VII. Jockeys- must ride their horses to the usual place of 

 weighing, and he that dismounts beforehand or wants weight, is dis- 

 tanced, unless he is disabled by accident, in which case he may be led 

 or carried to the scale. If a jockey fall from his horse, and the horse 

 be rode in from the place where the rider fell by a person of sufficient 

 weight, he may take his place the same as if the rider had not fallen. 

 [At Newmarket jockeys are required to weigh before as well as after 

 the race.] 



Rule VIII. If one horse cross or jostle another, such horses — unless 

 he be two clear lengths before the horse whose track he crosses — and 

 every horse belonging to the same owner, or in which he may have a 

 share, running in the same race, will be disqualified for winning, whether 

 such jostle or cross was caused by accident or foul riding. Complaints 

 must be made at the time the jockey is weighed. 



Rule IX. Every jockey is allowed two pounds above the weight 

 specified for his horse ; but should any horse carry more than two 

 pounds above his weight without having declared it, he will he consid- 

 ered distanced, although he came in first. [At Newmarket at least one 

 hour before the time fixed for the first race of the day; or if no time 

 is fixed, a clear half hour before the race is run.] 



Rule X. For the best of the plate, when three heats are run, the 

 horse is second which wins one heat. For the best of the heats, the 

 horse is second that beats the other horse twice out of three times, 

 though he do not win a heat. When a plate is won by two heats, the 

 preference of the horses is determined by the second heat. When a 

 plate is given to the winner of the best of three heats, a horse must be 

 the actual winner of two heats, even though no horse appear against 

 him for both or either of the heats. When three horses have each won 

 a heat, they only must start for a fourth. In running heats, a dead 

 heat goes for nothing, and all the horses may start again, unless it be
