agreed to be drawn, the Judge shall decide whether enough has 

 been done for the other dog to remain in without running an 

 additional bye. An ( UNDECIDED COUKSE ' is when the Judge con- 

 siders the merits of the dogs so equal that he cannot decide ; and 

 the dogs shall be put in again after two courses unless one be 

 drawn ; but the owners must at the time declare to the Flag 

 Steward which dog remains in ; after an undecided or no course, 

 and the dogs before being taken up get on another or the same 

 hare, the Judge must follow and decide in favour of one if he con- 

 siders that sufficient has been done to justify his doing so. After 

 a ' no course ' it shall be at the option of the owners either to run 

 again immediately or at the expiration of two courses, the latter 

 being fixed if they do not agree. If it is the last course of the 

 day, fifteen minutes shall be allowed after both dogs are taken up. 

 32. THE JUDGE SHALL DELIVEK HIS DECISION aloud immediately 

 the course is ended, and shall render an explanation of such 

 decision before the third succeeding course to the Stewards of a 

 meeting, if required, through them, by the owner, or nominator, 

 or representative of any owner or nominator, of a greyhound. 

 The Stewards to express their opinion whether the explanation is 

 satisfactory or not, and their opinion may be asked for in writing 

 and published afterwards, but the decision of the Judge, once given, 

 shall not be reversed.
