 rules relating to sales with engagements. Entries made by telegram shall be 

 equally binding, but must be confirmed in writing. Declarations of forfeits made

 described by stating the age, the colour (when possible), and whether a horse, 

 mare, or gelding, and the registered or Stud-book names or description of its

 must be stated. In all cases such pedigree and description muse be given as 

 will clearly distinguish the horse entered from all other horses, and if the pedi- 

 gree 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. Whenever the name under which a horse has run at any recognised Meet- 

 ing in any country is changed, 01 abandoned, his old name, as well as his new

 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 im-

 accidental, be corrected on payment of a fine of £^ 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 knowledge 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.

 qualified, is now dealt with under Rule 108.

 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.

 specifying the dam and sire, or sires. 



90. No horse shall be considered as struck out of any of his engagements until
