 A Post Match is io inse^ the age of the horses 
 in the article, and to run any horse of that age, 
 without declaring what horse, until he comes to the 
 post to start. 
 
 A Handicap Match is. A, B, and C, to put an 
 equal sum each into a hat ; C, who is the handi- 
 capper, makes a match for A and B, who, when 
 they have perused k, put their hands into their 
 pockets and draw them put closed, then they open . 
 them together, and if both have money in their 
 hands the match is confirmed, if neither have money 
 it is no match. In both cases, the handicapper 
 draws all the money out of the hat ; but if one has 
 money in his hand and the other none, then it is no 
 match, and he that has money in his hand is eri- 
 *titled to the deposit in the hat. ^ 
 
 J^ree Handicap is an expression which frequently 
 appears in Race Lists, the meaning of which il, 
 that, a number of horses being named, a weight is 
 placed against the name of each by the Stewards, 
 or some disinterested person who is well acquainted 
 with the performances of the horses. These 
 Weights are supposed to be such as will bring all 
 the horses as nearly on a par as possible, and the 
 List containing them being handed to the own-

 eirs of each horse, they accept or decline accord- 
 ing as they imagine the chances ai*e for or against 
 them.
