Marshall bolted in the first heat and threw his 

 rider; but as there was no distance-post he re- 

 mounted, came into the course where he had left 

 it, and brought in his weight. 



The stewards, on an objection being made, de- 

 cided that he had a right to start again. 



Eemark. — The decision was perfectly correct, 

 for in running heats a horse cannot be distanced 

 for being out of his ground, except by a person 

 stationed at the distance-post for that specific 

 object.
