INTERPRETATION OF WORDS AND PHRASES. Rule I. Horse includes mare gelding, colt and filly, T/ie as^e of a horse is reckoned as hcginnmg on the first of fanuary, in the year in which he is foaled. A maiden is a horse which has never won a race (other than a match or private sweepstakes) in any country, A maiden means a maiden at the time of the start. N.B.—In steeplechases and hurdle races a horse is still a maiden though a winner on the flat, and in races on the flat a horse is still a maiden though a winner of a steeplechase or hurdle race. A " Race " means purse, sweepstakes, private sweejjstakes, cup or match. A " Purse " is a race to be run for money or other prize, without any stake being made by the owners of the horses engaged, and which is void if tiiree hor in entirely different interests ses are not entered for it. to A " Sweepstakes " is a race in which stakes are to be made by the owners of the horses engaged, and any such race is still a sweepstakes when money or other prize is added. A public sweepstakes is void if three subscribers do not engage horses in it. A private sweepstakes is one to which no money is added and which has not been advertised previous to closing. A "cup " is any prize not given in money. A " handicap " is a race in- which the weights to be carried by the horses are adjusted by the handicapper for the purpose of equalizing their chances of win- nmg. I A " free handicap " is one in which no liability is incurred for entrance money, stake or forfeit, until acceptai.ce of the weight, either directly or through omission to declare out. A "private handicap " is one in which the weights are agreed upon among the parties to it, and which has not been publicly advertised previous to the en- gagement being made. A '* post race " is one in which the subscribers de- clare at the usual time before a race for declaring to start, the horse or horses they are to run, without other limitation of choice than the rules of racing and the conditions of the race prescribe. A " produce race " is one to be run by the produce of horses named or described at the time of entry. A "selling race " is one, the conditions of which require that every horse running, if a loser, may be claimed, and, if the winner, must be offered for sale by auction or be liable to be claimed. (( 11 Weight for age means standard weight according to the rules of the course where the race is run or its conditions, and remains a weight for age race, even though there be penalties and allowances. A race at "catch weights" means one for which the riders need not weigh before or after the race. The "nominator" is the person in whose name a horse is entered for a race. " Owner " includes part owner. "Arrears " are any sums unpaid in respect of fines, fees, including jockey's fees, entrance money, stakes, subscriptions, forfeits and purchase money in races with selling allowances, or any default incident to these rules. It is a " walk-over " when only one horse or horses belonging to a single interest are at the pest ready to start for a race at the appointed time. PART II. CALCULATION OF TIME. Rule 2. Sec. I. When the last day for doing any- thing under these rules falls on Sunday, it may be done on the following Monday, unless a race to which such act relates is appointed for that day, in which case it must be done on the previous Saturday.
