REVIEW. 
263 
Turning over a couple of leaves, we come to the body and substance 
of the work, comprising “ Queen’s Plate Articles” — “ The Forty 
Rules of Horse-racing in General” — “The Newmarket Rules” — 
“ Remarks on the Rules concerning Horse-racing” — “ The Duties 
of Racing Officials” — “ Racing Cases” — “Betting” — “Betting 
Cases” — “ Handicapping,” &c. 
Here is a bill of fare furnishing but little matter for comment, 
and yet it is such as a racing man will read over and over again 
with complacency ; and, withal, is wrapped up in a book of pre- 
cisely such form and dimension as he may ride about with in his 
pocket, using it as a “Manual” or “Memorandum Book” when- 
ever his memory may require refreshing upon any of the laws, 
rules, and decrees of the Jockey Club. We do not remember to have 
seen or heard of a work of the kind before. Captain Rous is too 
well known on the turf to, for a moment, admit of a question of its 
accuracy. It has only to be opened to afford the man on the turf in- 
formation, at mew , which without it must be sought in sundry places 
or from sundry persons, at needless cost both of time and trouble. 
No race-horse owner, no trainer, no jockey, few stable-men even, 
will go without it; nor will such of the veterinary craft as love 
the turf, and dabble in the transactions thereon, suffer their libra- 
ries to want this useful little work ; but will at once procure it, and 
place it upon its appropriate shelf, alongside of that excellent racing 
production of one of their own profession — Darville “on Training,” 
between that and the “ General Stud Book.”
