17. The Judge shall be subject to the general Eules which may 

 be established by the National Coursing Club for his guidance. 

 He shall, on the termination of each course, immediately deliver 

 his decision aloud, and shall not recall or reverse his decision, on 

 any pretext whatever, after, it has been declared ; but no decision 

 shall be delivered until the Judge is perfectly satisfied that the 

 course is absolutely terminated. 



18. He shall decide all courses upon the one uniform principle 

 that the greyhound which does most towards killing the hare dur- 

 ing the continuance of the course is to be declared the winner. 

 The principle is to be carried out by estimating the value of the 

 work done by each greyhound, as seen by the Judge, upon a bal- 

 ance of points according to the scale hereafter laid down,, from 

 which also are to be deducted certain specified allowances and 

 penalties. 



19. The points of the course are — 



a. Speed — which shall be estimated as one, two, or three 



points, according to the degree of superiority shown. 

 [See Definition below, a.] 



b. The Go-by. — Two points, or, if gained on the outer circle, 



three points. 



c. The Turn. — One point. 



d. The Wrench- — Half a point. 



e. The Kill. — Two points, or, in a descending scale, in pro- 



portion to the degree of merit displayed in that kill, 

 which may be of no value. 

 /. The Trip. — One point.
