 fered with shall have the privilege of saying

 and he shall be entitled to claim one-half of 

 said hound's winnings, if any. 



Rule 19. — A hound that fails by action or 

 note to work fairly on a trail, and runs " cun- 

 ning M to get an advantage, shall be discounted 

 in the discretion of the judges.
