giving the names (the running names if they had any) of the sire 

 and dam of the dog entered. The secretary shall publish on the 

 cards the names of those who are subscribers but do not comply 

 with these conditions. These nominations shall not be drawn, but

 made, the names and addresses of the parties who reared his 

 puppies ; and any puppy whose marks and pedigree shall be proved

 sapling is a greyhound whelped on or after January i of the year 

 in which the season of running commenced.

 tion of all greyhounds (other than saplings) after that date to the 

 end of the coursing season immediately following. Any owner 

 may, by payment of i/. annually, compound for the registration 

 of any number of greyhounds bond fide his own property. The 

 keeper of the Stud Book shall give a receipt for the registration 

 fee of every greyhound, which shall be called a certificate of 

 registration.

 authority of the National Coursing Club, on September I, or as 

 soon after as possible.

 on or before July i, and registrations applied for subsequent to 

 that date that do not appear in the Stud Book of that year will

 hound, the keeper of the Stud Book shall give priority to the dog
