By reference to Plate No. 22 a good idea may be obtained of the manner of

paring out a hoof suffering from thrush.

_PUMICE FOOT._

(See Plate No. 23) should always be pared out on each side of the frog

until it yields to the pressure of the thumb. This paring should,

however, be done immediately around the frog, leaving more than the usual

ground surface (see plate After Treatment). The toe should be shortened

as much as possible, and the heels cut out back. If the horse is lame a

bor shoe is the best to protect the foot, with a leather sole, and some

spirits of tar as a moisture. This shoe should be renewed at least once a

month, with a leather sole, until a cure is effected.

_HOOF-BOUND._

(Plate No. 24.) A horse that is hoof-bound is deprived of his free

action, and resembles a horse that is foundered.

_Treatment._—The foot should be pared out thoroughly, and on each side of

the frog, until it yields to the pressure of the thumb. Open the heels

and remove the bors that press the frog on each side, and cause the

animal much pain.

The toe should be shortened, and if the foot is inclined to contraction,

the shoe should be fitted wider than the foot, which, if done properly,

will expand the foot (see article Contraction). The shoe should be a

good, heavy, open one, well eased off at the heels. Having the foot

prepared, the operation should next be performed around the coronet, as

follows: If the cartilages are hard, as they are generally from being

pressed upwards, a groove should be made with a rasp immediately under

the coronet, and extending all the way across from heel to heel, deep

enough to draw blood. Next, with a fine knife cut notches across the

groove at equal distances the whole length of the groove, and extending

from the coronet downward.

By this operation, illustrated on Plate No. 24, the pressure is removed

from the cartilages. After this a poultice of linseed meal should be

applied around the coronet, which loosens all pressure and starts a new

growth.

If the horse is lame from this disease the close cutting operation should

be performed and the poultice applied one week; otherwise the operation

need not be so severe.

PLATES NOS. 25, 26, 27—_Illustrations of Overgrowth of Hoof and Neglect

before and after Treatment._—The illustration, “Before Treatment,” Plate

No, 25, represents the ground surface of a foot operated upon, and “After

Treatment” represents the same foot after one pound of overgrowth had

been removed from one foot. Plates Nos. 26 and 27 show the difference

between the foot before and after treatment, and show the importance of

being careful in observing a horse’s foot so as to prevent lameness, and

the various diseases caused by neglect.

PLATES NOS. 28 AND 29—_Enlargement of the Metacarpal Bone._—In a great

many cases because the enlargement interferes with the free use of the

flexor tendon, pressing it out of its proper place. A horse with a

contracted foot suffers from this pressure when the shoe is fitted tight

and brings the heels inward. The metacarpal bones extend from the back

of the knee downward to the pastern joint, forming, as it were, a brace

on each side. They become quite small as they extend downward, and the

enlargement is generally found on the inside of the leg. (See Plate No.

28.)

[Illustration: No. 29. ENLARGEMENT OF THE METACARPAL BONE.

_a_ Showing how to find the enlargement.

_b_ Showing the manner in which the incision is made, and the enlargement

removed.]

The enlargement may be discovered by running the hand downward from the

knee, the thumb on the side and the forefinger on the other, until

it is felt (see Plate 29, “A”). If pressed and the horse yields to

the pressure, it is a sure sign that he is affected, and he should be

properly shod at once as if for contraction, or the enlargement should

be removed. To do this, the horse should be in the following position:

First, with plenty of straw under him to prevent bruising; then he should

be thrown on his side and fastened down, so as to allow the operator to

make an incision with a fine pocket knife partly to the front and near

where the enlargement is. This operation will not interfere with the

tendons, or veins that extend upward from the foot. The incision having

been made, the finger may be inserted, as shown in Plate No. 29, “B,”

so as to raise the enlargement and make it visible. Then, with a pair

of nippers, snap the end off with one motion. The incision should be

closed, fastened together with a needle and silk thread; then apply a

linen bandage and over this a woolen cloth, containing a little moisture,

to prevent fever. A little sweet oil should be applied, to keep it clean

while healing. The operation is not severe and is thoroughly effective.

[Illustration: No. 30. A FOOT THAT IS DEPRIVED OF THE FREE USE OF THE

BACK TENDONS.]

PLATES NOS. 30 AND 31 represent a foot which has been deprived of the

free use of the back tendons, caused by a sudden jar or misstep, causing

a horse so affected to travel on his toe, and can be remedied only by

a system of expanding the foot under the directions already given for

contraction.

[Illustration: No. 31.

Ossified growth of Upper and Lower Pastern Joint, also Navicular Joint

and Coffin-bone, in a foot which has been deprived of the free use of the

back Tendons. See Plate No. 30.]

After this a shoe should be fitted with a toe and no heels, for by

raising the toe the bearing is thrown on the heels. If the action is

heavy on the toe, the shoe should be provided with a steel toe-calk.

This will prevent a horse from traveling on his toe, and such a case,

if taken in time, can be remedied, if not permanently cured, by simply

fitting a shoe so as to throw the bearing on the heels.

[Illustration: No. 32. THE SENSITIVE FROG.

Interior surface. Exterior surface.]

PLATES NOS. 30 AND 31 represent an aggravated case, which from neglect

became incurable.

PLATE NO. 32 represents the exterior surface of the sensitive frog. The

great principle of this system of paring the horse’s feet, is to remove

all pressure from the frog. It should be protected from all pressure,

and such diseases as thrush and scratches may be avoided.

PLATE NO. 33 gives a sectional view of all the bones and tendons of the

horse’s foot. Every blacksmith and farrier should thoroughly understand

this and the anatomy of the horse’s foot, in order to be able to know

exactly how to treat any disease which may be brought to their notice.

RECIPES.

The following recipes have been gathered from souses entitled to the

fullest confidence, as remedies of value to all owners of horses, and are

presented with the hope of doing good:

_INFLUENZA._

For several years past a disease has been more or less prevalent in

various sections of this country, known to the Veterinary as epidemic

catarrh or influenza. The symptoms of this disease are so various in

different animals—no two being precisely alike—that a variety of opinions

are current concerning it and its nature; and, as a consequence, various

other diseases are often confounded with it. The usual or leading

symptoms are a slight watery or mucous discharge from the nose; eyelids

presenting a reddish appearance; matter collects in the corner of the

eyes; pulse feeble; great debility, as shown by the quick, feeble action

of the heart—a symptom rarely absent; membrane of nose much reddened;

sore throat and cough; occasionally the feet become fevered as in

founder, causing much stiffness, and might be easily taken for that

disease.

_Treatment._—This being a typhoid disease, it requires a sustaining

treatment, or success will be very doubtful. In the early stage of this

disease, give the first two days ten drops of tincture of aconite, or

bryonia, in a little water, every six hours; after which give a pail

of water to drink, and, once a day, 1 oz. spirits of nitre, or 2 drams

extract of belladonna; and give in the feed, three times a day, one of

the following powders: gentian root, saltpetre, and anise seed, of each 1

oz.; sulphate of quinine, 1 dram; mix, and divide into eight powders. The

throat should be bathed with mustard and vinegar; or with linseed oil,

3 oz., spirits of hartshorn, 1 oz. Mix together. No hay or corn should

be given, but scalded oats or wheat bran, with linseed tea, or oatmeal

gruel, should constitute the diet. I would recommend a few carrots. But

above all, good nursing is to be desired, and by strictly following the

foregoing instructions a successful result is probable.

_CONDITION POWDER._

Fenugreek, cream of tartar, gentian, sulphur, saltpetre, resin,

black antimony, and ginger, of each 1 oz.; cayenne ½ oz.; all finely

pulverized. Mix thoroughly. It is used for yellow water, hide bound,

colds, coughs, distemper, and all other diseases where a condition powder

is needed. They carry off gross humors, and purify the blood.

_Dose._—In ordinary cases one tablespoonful once a day. In extreme

cases give twice daily. This powder has never failed to give entire

satisfaction.

_GLANDERS._

This is one of the most fatal diseases to which the horse is subject.

It is propagated in most cases by contagion, the infection being

disseminated by seed from the nasal discharge, not, as many suppose,

by the breath. According to eminent foreign authors, the disease has

its origin also in a vitiated state of the blood, and this may result

from improper treatment or neglect of almost any disease to which he is

liable. In its early stage it appears to be only a slight inflammation

of the inner membrane of the nose, not, however, attended with the

usual florid red characterizing inflammation, but of a paler hue, and

afterwards becoming darker. The first marked symptom is a discharge

from the nose, scarcely to be distinguished at first from the natural

moisture, either by its color or consistence, and generally coming from

one nostril only, and that the left one. In appearance it is thin and

transparent, closely resembling the natural discharge, a little increased

in quantity, and sometimes continues in this doubtful stage for several

weeks or months. Instances are indeed known where it has existed for

several years before it became fully developed. In such cases it is

attended with no loss of appetite, no cough, or apparent illness of any

kind, with little enlargement of the glands under the jaw, and at the

same time the horse is capable of communicating disease.

Too many of these horses, with a decided glanderous discharge from the

nose and adherent glands under the jaw, are found on our roads, or are

employed in agriculture, which (although they are otherwise in good

health, and perform their work well) should not be permitted; for by such

means the contagion is widely spread. No cough accompanies real glanders

in any of its stages, except the last, which is usually soon cut short by

death.

In addition to the preceding tokens for discovering at an early period

the true glanders from other disorders, let the nostrils be closely

examined. In the real glanders, the left or running nostril will be

found of a deeper color than ordinary, while the other, or dry nostril,

is of a paler color, or almost white.

The reader must bear in mind the varied color of the nostril in deciding

all cases of this character. Also that in colds, etc., both nostrils run.

Before the disease finishes its course, both sides of the nose and head

become affected—the ulcers extend down the windpipe, and fasten upon

the lungs. The virus, secreted by and discharged from the ulcers, is

absorbed and carried through the whole system, and soon puts an end to

the creature’s miserable existence. The best preventives of glanders are

dry, clean, well-ventilated stables, moderate exercise, green food, when

it can be procured, and roots in the winter.

The disease may be cured in its early stages, or before ulcers are

formed in the nose, or the lumps under the jaw adhere to the bone, by

turning the animal on a dry pasture, by proper attention to the bowels,

and by use of alterative medicines, to work the poisons out of the

system. Should the bowels require loosening, give the common purge. For

purifying the blood, the condition powder is the most effectual remedy.

The owner must beware of putting the horse to hard labor too soon, after

having been turned out as before directed, as the disease is liable to

return on subsequent confinement, even after the running at the nose

has entirely disappeared. It is conceded by all, that when this disease

is once seated, it cannot be cured; and humanity dictates, and economy

should prompt us to terminate the animal’s existence at once. This course

has now become an imperative duty, as the fact is established that man

is susceptible to the contagion; and there are numerous cases on record

where those who have had the care of glandered horses have fallen victims

to this disease.

_LOCK JAW._

This disease generally arises from nail wounds in the feet, or from sharp

metallic substances taken into and wounding the stomach or intestines.

The first symptoms of the disease are observed about the ninth or tenth

day after the injury is done, which are a straggling or stiffness of the

hind-legs, to which succeed in a few days the following: on elevating

the head, a spasmodic motion of the membrane in the inner corner of the

eye will be observed, showing little more than the white of the eye; the

muscles of the jaws become rigid; the tongue is swollen, and the mouth

is filled with saliva; the ears are erect, and the nose poked out; the

nostrils expand; respiration becomes much disturbed; and finally, the

jaws become firmly set, and the bowels constipated.

_Treatment._—Tinct. of aconite, 2 drs.; tinct. of belladonna, 2 drs.;

water, ½ oz. Mix, and give 40 drops every 4 hours on the tongue; keep a

ball of aloes in the mouth for several days. There is no fear of giving

too much. I have known half a pound to be given in a few days with good

success. Hydrocyandic acid, 20 drops in a little water, and put upon the

tongue every four hours, is an excellent remedy. Foment the jaws with

bags of hops steeped in hot water, and bathe the line of the back from

the pole to the croup with mustard and vinegar. Be careful not to allow

the animal to be unnecessarily excited by noises and confusion about him.

Go about him quietly; keep a pail of bran slop before him all the time.

If the foot has been injured, poultice with flaxseed meal, and keep the

wound open until a healthy action has been established.

_TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN DISTEMPER AND GLANDERS._

The discharge from the nose in Glanders will sink in water. In Distemper

it will not.

_CHRONIC COUGH._

This is generally the consequence of neglected catarrhal affections,

worms, etc. For treatment, give twice each day Barbadoes aloes, 2 oz.;

pulv. foxglove (or digitalis), 1 oz.; linseed meal, 13 oz. Mix with

molasses. Dose, 1 oz.

Another remedy is, sal ammoniac, 1 oz.; squills, pulv., ½ oz.; aloes,

pulv., 1 oz.; linseed meal, 16 oz.; mix with molasses, and divide into

four balls; to be given one each night for four days.

_TREATMENT FOR RHEUMATISM._

Poultice the feet with mustard and flaxseed meal. Give internally of nux

vomica, 1 oz.; pulv. gentian root, 1½ oz.; pulverized ginger, 1 oz. Mix

and divide into 12 powders; give one every night in the feed, keep the

body warm, and give no corn.

_FOUNDER REMEDY._

Give from 1 to 4 ounces of saltpetre, according to the severity of the

case. For a severe case, draw about one gallon of blood from the neck;

then drench with linseed oil, 1 quart; rub the fore-legs with water as

hot as can be borne without scalding, continuing the washing till the

horse is perfectly limber.

_HORSE OINTMENT._

Resin, 4 oz.; beeswax, 4 oz.; honey, 2 oz.; lard, 8 oz.; melt these

articles slowly, bringing gradually to a boil; remove from the fire,

and slowly add a little less than a pint of spirits of turpentine,

stirring all the time this is being added, and stir till cool. This is

an extraordinary ointment for bruises of the flesh, or hoof, or broken

knees, galls or bites, or when a horse is gelded to heal and keep off

flies.

_MAGIC LINIMENT._

Take 2 oz. oil of spike; 2 oz. origanum; 2 oz. hemlock; 2 oz. wormwood;

4 ounces sweet oil; 2 oz. spirits ammonia; 2 ounces gum camphor; 2 oz.

spirits turpentine; 1 quart proof spirits. Mix well and bottle for use.

Cork tight. For sprains, bruises, or lameness of any kind, this liniment

is unsurpassed. This is the same liniment, leaving out the turpentine,

which has achieved so many wonderful cures for human ailment.

A more simple liniment can be made by putting into spirits of turpentine

all the gum camphor it will cut. For ordinary purposes it is fit for

use; but if you wish to reduce pain, add as much laudanum as there is

turpentine.

_FRENCH PASTE FOR BONE SPAVIN._

Corrosive sublimate, quicksilver, and iodine, of each 1 oz., with

sufficient lard to form a paste. Rub the quicksilver and iodine together,

and add the sublimate, and finally add the lard, rubbing thoroughly.

Shave off the hair the size of the bone enlargement, then grease all

around it, but not where the bone is shaved off. This prevents the action

of the medicine only upon the spavin; rub in as much of the paste as will

lie on a five cent piece, each morning for four mornings only, and in

from six to eight days the spavin will come out; then wash out the wound

with suds, soaking well for an hour or two, which removes the poisonous

effects of the medicine, and facilitates the healing, which can be done

by any healing salve. I prefer the horse ointment to any other.

_HOW TO CLEAN AND OIL HARNESS._

First take the harness apart, having each strap and piece by itself; then

wash it with warm water and Castile soap. When cleansed, black each part

with the following dye: 1 oz. extract of logwood; 12 grains bichromate of

potash—both pounded fine; put into two quarts of boiling rain-water, and

stir till all is dissolved. When cool, it may be used. It may be bottled

and kept for future use, if desired. It may be applied with a shoe brush.

When the dye has struck in, you may oil each part with neatsfoot oil,

applied with a paint brush. For second oiling, use one-third castor oil

and two-thirds neat’s-foot oil, mixed. A few hours after, wipe clean

with a woolen cloth, which gives the harness a glossy appearance. This

preparation does not injure the leather or stitching, but makes it

soft and pliable, and obviates the necessity of oiling as often as is

necessary by the ordinary method. When the harness is removed from the

horse, take a woolen cloth or chamois skin, kept for the purpose, and

wipe off the dust and all moisture from rain or perspiration, and when

the harness is nearly dry, rub the damper parts very thoroughly with a

second cloth or skin, until they are quite soft and pliable.

The bits, and plated mountings, should be cleaned and rubbed with a

slightly-oiled rag, before the harness is finally hung in its place; the

harness should be protected from dust either by a covering of cloth, or

by hanging in a closet. Whenever the leather becomes dry and hard, it

should be cleaned and oiled according to the foregoing directions.

_PHYSIC BALL._

Barbadoes aloes, 1 lb.; syrup buckthorn, 3 oz.; cod-liver oil, 3 oz.

Melt the whole, and stir till cool. In winter, add a little water, make

into 18 pills, and give 1 every four hours, or as much as will move the

bowels.

_TO SCATTER POLL-EVIL._

Take a quantity of mandrake root, bruise and boil it, strain and boil

down until rather thick; then form an ointment, simmering with sufficient

lard for the purpose. Anoint the swelling once a day until cured. It has

cured them after they were broken out, by putting it in the pipes a few

times; also, anointing around the sore.

_HEALING SALVE FOR ABRASIONS AND CUTS._

Oxide of zinc, 4 drams; fresh lard, 1 oz.; carbolic acid, 6 grains.

Melt the lard, and stir in the oxide of zinc, which must be very finely

powdered; add the carbolic acid and mix thoroughly. Apply twice a day to

the wound. This salve is very valuable for its healing properties, and

will be found of special service, if there is any foul discharge.

_WASH FOR FOUL ULCERS._

Permanganate of potassa, 1 dram; pure water, 6 fluid ounces. Clean

the sore once or twice a day, with a quart of water, to which a large

tablespoonful of the wash has been added, using a soft sponge.

The discoloration of the solution indicates its complete loss of power as

a disinfectant.

The bottle must be kept tightly corked, as impurities in the air will, in

time, impair its value.

_ANTISPASMODIC TINCTURE._

(_For Man or Beast._)

Oils of cajeput, cloves, peppermint, anise, of each 1 oz.; of alcohol,

1 quart. Mix together, and bottle for use. Dose, for horse, 1 oz. every

15 minutes, in a little whisky and warm water, sweetened with molasses.

Continue till relieved.

Dose for man, one teaspoonful.

RECORD OF FAST HORSES FOR 1875.

The author of this work would not have the reader imagine that he is

known to the popular world as a sporting man, but believing his book will

come into the hands of not only lovers of the noble animal as a beast of

burden, and highly prized by the honest yeomanry of this continent, but

into the hands also of those who admire more for qualities of speed, as

exhibited on the turf, deems it advisable to gratify the appetite of all

who appreciate fast trotting, by devoting a corner to record the driving

of all horses having a public record of 2.30, or better. Considerable

trouble and expense has attended the research, and it embraces a complete

list of horses that have shown on the turf since 1870, compiled in the

most accurate manner, and alphabetically arranged.

RULES AND REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE AMERICAN

TROTTING TURF.

RULE 1.—_Mandate._—All trotting and pacing engagements and performances

over the several courses which are, or shall be represented by membership

in the “NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE

AMERICAN TROTTING TURF,” and each and every person who shall in any

way be concerned or employed therein, as well as all associations and

proprietors themselves who are or shall become members of said National

Association, shall be governed by the following rules from and after

February 4th, 1874. [See also Articles 12 and 13 of By-Laws.]

RULE 2.—_Entries._—All entries for premiums must be made under cover,

enclosing the entrance money for purses and forfeits in sweepstakes, and

sealed and addressed to or deposited with the Secretary, or other person

authorized to receive the same, at such time and place as shall have been

prescribed.

Notices by telegraph of intention to enter shall be received up to the

hour advertised for closing, and all such entries shall be eligible,

provided the entrance fee specified shall be paid in due course, by mail

or otherwise. [See also Art. 17 of By-Laws.]

It shall be the duty of the Secretary, or other person authorized, to

prepare the list of entries for publication, comprising all information

necessary for the enlightenment of the general public and parties to the

race; and all entries as aforesaid shall be opened and announced at a

public meeting, of which reasonable notice by advertisement or otherwise

shall be given to the parties in interest.

RULE 3.—_Entrance Fee._—The entrance fee shall be 10 per cent. of the

purse, unless otherwise specified; and any person failing to pay his

entrance dues may, together with his horse or horses, be suspended until

they are paid in full, which shall be with an addition of 10 per cent.

penalty and interest at 7 per cent. per annum until paid—the penalty

to go to the National Association. _Provided_, that no such suspension

imposed after April 1, 1874, shall be lawful unless imposed within

sixty days from the close of the meeting; _and further provided_, that

any entry which shall be accepted upon conditions differing from those

applied by the terms of the race to other entries in the same class shall

be regarded a “conditional entry,” and as such shall be void. And any

associate member who shall accept any such conditional entry, shall,

upon satisfactory evidence produced to the Board of Appeals, be held to

forfeit to the National Association 20 per cent. of the amount of the

purse in which such conditional entry has been accepted.

RULE 4.—_How Many to Enter._—In all purses three or more entries are

required, and two to start, unless otherwise specified.

RULE 5.—_Horses to be Eligible when Entries Close._—A horse shall not be

eligible to start in any race that has beaten the time advertised prior

to the closing of the entries for the race in which he is entered, unless

otherwise specified in the published conditions.

Horses shall not be eligible if the time specified has been beaten by

them at a greater distance; that is, a horse having made two miles in

five minutes is eligible for a 2:30 race, but not eligible for a race

limited to horses of a slower class than that.

RULE 6.—_Description and Name of each Horse Required._—An accurate and

satisfactory description of each entry will be required, and shall be in

the following form, to wit:

_Color._—The color and marks shall be accurately given.

_Sex._—It shall be distinctly stated whether the entry be a stallion,

mare, or gelding, and the names of the sire and dam shall be given in

all cases (and when unknown shall be so stated in the entry), under

penalty of $25 fine for each omission. And the pedigree so given shall be

published by the associate member with the advertisement of entries.

_Name of Horse._—Every horse shall be named, and the name correctly and

plainly written in the entry; and after trotting in a public race such

name shall not be changed, except by permission of the Board of Appeals,

and upon payment of a recording fee of $10, the fee to go to the National

Association; for each violation of this requirement a fine of $100 shall

be imposed, together with suspension or expulsion; and if the horse

has ever trotted in a public race the last name under which he or she

trotted shall be given with the entry; and if the name has been changed

within two years, each name he or she has borne during that time must be

given; and if any horse without a name has ever trotted in a public race,

mention must be made in the entry of a sufficient number of his or her

most recent performances, to enable interested parties to identify the

animal; _provided_, that it shall not be necessary to furnish any one

association or proprietor with the same record the second time.

In entries and nominations hereafter made, the words “no name” shall

not be received as a name; neither shall such descriptive words as “bay

horse,” “gray mare,” &c., be allowed as names, under penalty of a fine

not to exceed the entrance fee, to be imposed on the member who violates

this restriction.

A horse having once been named, shall not again start in a race on

any course in the United States or Canada without a name, nor under a

different name, unless the foregoing requirements have been complied with.

_Double Teams._—In all double-team races the entry must contain the name

and description of each horse, in the manner provided for entry of single

horses.

RULE 7.—_Name and Address._—The residence and post-office address, in

full, of the person or persons in whose name an entry is made, and if

he or they be not the owner, then that of the owner or owners also must

accompany each nomination.

RULE 8.—_Entries that Cannot Start._—As many horses may be entered by one

party, or as many horses trained in the same stable as may be desired,

but only one that has been owned or controlled in whole or in part by the

same person or persons, or trained in the same stable within ten days

preceding the race, can start in any race of heats.

RULE 9.—_No purse for a “Walk Over.”_—No purse will be awarded for a

“walk over,” but in cases where only one of the horses entered for any

premium shall appear on the course, he shall be entitled to his own

entrance money and to one-half of the entrance money received from all

other horses entered for said premium.

RULE 10.—_In Case of Death, Engagements Void._—All engagements, including

obligations for entrance fees, shall be void upon the decease of either

party or horse, so far as they shall affect the deceased party or horse;

but forfeits, also matches made play or pay, shall not be affected by the

death of a horse.

RULE 11.—_Match Races._—In all match races these rules shall govern,

unless the contrary be expressly stipulated and assented to by the club,

association, or proprietor of the course over which the race is to come

off.

RULE 12.—_When Matches Become Play or Pay._—In all matches made to come

off over any of the associate courses, the parties shall place the amount

of the match in the hands of the stakeholder one day before the event

(omitting Sunday) is to come off, at such time and place as the club,

association, or proprietor, upon application may determine, and the race

shall then become play or pay.

RULE 13.—_Purse or Stakes Wrongfully Obtained._—A person obtaining a

purse or stake through fraud or error shall return it to the Treasurer

if demanded within one year, or be punished as follows: He, together

with the parties implicated in the wrong, and the horse or horses, shall

be expelled until such demand is complied with, and such stake or purse

shall be awarded to the party justly entitled to the same.

RULE 14.—_Fraudulent Entries, or Meddling with Horses._—Any person found

guilty of dosing or tampering with any horse, or of making a fraudulent

entry of any horse, or of disguising a horse with intent to conceal his

identity, or being in any way concerned in such a transaction, shall be

expelled.

Any horse that shall have been painted or disguised, to represent another

or a different horse, or shall have been entered in a purse in which he

does not belong, shall forfeit the entrance money and be expelled.

RULE 15.—_Reward._—A reward of $50 will be paid to the person who shall

first give information leading to the detection and conviction of any

fraudulent entry and the parties thereto, to be paid out of the funds

of the National Association for the Promotion of the Interests of the

American Trotting Turf, by the Treasurer, upon the decision and order of

the Board of Appeals; _provided_, that this shall not be construed to

extend to courses outside of this Association.

RULE 16.—_Protests._—Protests maybe made verbally before or during a

race, and shall be reduced to writing, and shall contain at least one

specific charge, and, when required, a statement of the nature of the

evidence upon which they are based, and they shall be filed with the

Judges, Association, or proprietor before the close of the meeting.

The Judges shall in every case of protest demand that the rider or

driver, and the owner or owners, if present, shall immediately testify

under oath, in the manner hereinafter provided; and in case of their

refusal to do so, the horse shall not be allowed thereupon to start or

continue in that race, but shall be considered and declared ruled out,

with forfeit of entrance money.

But if the parties do comply, and take the oath as herein required,

unless the Judges find conclusive evidence to warrant excluding the

horse, they shall allow him to start or continue in the race under

protest, and the premium, if any is won by that horse, shall be retained

a sufficient length of time (say three weeks) to allow the parties

interested a chance to sustain the allegations of the protest, or to

furnish information which shall warrant an investigation of the matter

by the associate member, or the Board of Appeals, and all outside bets

on such horse shall be held in abeyance pending the decision of such

protest; _provided_, that where no action as aforesaid has been taken to

sustain a protest, during three weeks, the associate member shall proceed

as if such protest had not been made.

In any heat which such protested horse shall win, the Judges shall waive

the application of a distance as to all other horses, except for “fouls”

defined in Rule 48.

When a protest is presented before or during a race, and the parties

refuse to make the prescribed oath, if the Judges believe the refusal is

designed to favor a fraud, they may require the horse under protest to

start or continue in the race.

Any person found guilty of protesting a horse falsely and without cause,

or merely with intent to embarrass a race, shall be punished by a fine

not exceeding $100, or by suspension not to exceed one year, or by

expulsion.

When a protest has been duly made, or any information lodged with the

Judges in support of a protest, alleging an improper entry or any act

prohibited or punishable under these rules, the same shall not be

withdrawn or surrendered before the expiration of three weeks, without

the approbation of the association or proprietor of the course upon which

such protest or information was produced; and if any association or

proprietor shall permit such a withdrawal of protest or information, with

a corrupt motive to favor any party who shall be affected by the same,

the association or proprietor so permitting, if convicted thereof by the

Board of Appeals, shall be expelled from all connection with the National

Association.

Associations or proprietors shall be warranted in retaining the premium

of any horse, during the time herein mentioned, without any formal

protest, if before it is paid they shall receive information in their

judgment tending to establish fraud.

The oath required in answer to protest shall be in the following form, to

wit:

I ________ of ________ in the County of ________ State of ________

on oath depose and say that I am the ________ of the ________ called

________ the same entered in a purse for horses that have never trotted

better than ________ minutes and ________ seconds, to be trotted this

day on this course, and the same that has been protested, and to which

protest this affidavit is in answer, hereby declare and affirm that

to the best of my knowledge and belief said before-mentioned horse is

eligible to start or compete in the race aforesaid; and that I fully

believe all the provisions and conditions required in the rules and

regulations for the government or trials of speed over this course were

fully and honestly complied with in making the entry aforesaid.

Given under my hand, at ________ this ________ day of ________ A. D.

187__.

________________

Subscribed and sworn to before me, this ________ day of ________ A. D.

187__.

________________

_Justice of the Peace._

[NOTE.—In the absence of a Justice of the Peace, if this oath be

administered by an officer of the association, or one of the Judges

of the race, it will be considered sufficient for the purposes of the

National Association.]

RULE 17.—_When Horses Shall not be Drawn._—No horse shall be drawn except

by permission of the Judges of the race, under penalty of being expelled,

unless at or before seven o’clock P. M. of the day preceding the race

(omitting Sunday), the proper party shall have lodged with the President,

Secretary, or proprietor of the course, a written notice of his intention

not to start, after which notice the horse so drawn shall be ineligible

to start in the race.

Parties having two or more entries in one race shall elect which they

will not start, and notify their decision at the same time, in the same

manner, and under the same penalty as provided above.

RULE 18.—_Power of Postponement._—In case of unfavorable weather, or

other unavoidable cause, each association or proprietor shall have power

to postpone to the next fair day and good track (omitting Sunday), all

purses or sweepstakes, or any race to which they have contributed money,

upon giving notice thereof; and they may exercise this power before or

after the race has commenced. [See also Rule 19.]

RULE 19.—_No Trotting After Dark._—No heat shall be trotted when it is so

dark that the horses cannot be plainly seen by the Judges from the stand,

but all such races shall be continued by the Judges to the next fair day

(omitting Sunday), at such hour as they shall designate.

In all matches and stakes, the above rule shall govern, unless otherwise

especially agreed between the parties and the association or proprietors.

RULE 20.—_Weights and Weighing._—Every horse starting for purse,

sweepstake, or match, in any trotting or pacing race, shall carry, if to

wagon or sulky, 150 lbs., exclusive of harness: and if under the saddle,

145 lbs., the saddle and whip only to be weighed with the rider.

Riders and drivers shall weigh in the presence of one or more of the

Judges previous to starting for any race, and after each heat shall come

to the starting stand, and not dismount or leave their vehicles without

permission of the Judges, and those who are deficient in bodily weight

shall be re-weighed after each heat. Any rider or driver not bringing

in his required weight shall be distanced, unless such decision shall

be deemed to favor a fraud. But a rider or driver thrown or taken by

force from his horse or vehicle, after having passed the winning-post,

shall not be considered as having dismounted without permission of

the Judges, and if disabled may be carried to the Judges’ stand to be

weighed, and the Judges may take the circumstances into consideration

and decide accordingly. And the riders or drivers who shall carry during

the heat and bring home with them the weights which have been approved

or announced correct and proper by the Judges, shall be subject to no

penalty for light weight in that heat; provided the Judges are satisfied

the mistake or fault was their own, and that there has been no deception

on the part of the rider or driver who shall be deficient in weight; but

all parties shall thereafter carry the required weight.

RULE 21.—_Handicaps and Miscellaneous Weights._—In matches or handicaps,

where extra or lesser weights are to be carried, the Judges shall

carefully examine and ascertain before starting, whether the riders,

drivers or vehicles are of such weights as have been agreed upon or

required by the match or handicap, and thereafter the riders and drivers

shall be subject to the same penalties and conditions as if they were to

carry the weights prescribed by the rules.

RULE 22.—_When Riders and Drivers are Overweight._—If the bodily weight

of any rider or driver shall be found to exceed that which is prescribed

in the rules, or that which is required by the conditions of the race,

and the overweight shall exceed twenty pounds, it shall be announced

from the stand before the heat; and the judges shall have power, if in

their belief such extra weight was imposed on the horse for an improper

or fraudulent purpose, to substitute another rider or driver of suitable

weight; and if they believe the horse has been prejudiced in the race by

such overweight, he shall not be allowed to start again or continue in

the race, and all outside bets on such horse shall be declared off. [See

also Rule 28.]

A horse prevented by this rule from continuing in the race shall not be

distanced, but _ruled out_.

RULE 23.—_Length of Whips._—Riders and drivers will be allowed whips

not to exceed the following lengths: For saddle horses, 2 ft. 10 in,;

sulkies, 4 ft. 8 in.; wagons, 5 ft. 10 in.; double teams, 8 ft. 6 in.;

tandem teams and four-in-hand, unlimited: snappers, not longer than three

inches, will be allowed in addition to the foregoing measurement.

RULE 24.—_Judges’ Stand._—None but the Judges of the race in progress,

and their assistants, shall be allowed in the Judges’ stand during the

pendency of a heat, except members of the Board of Appeals.

RULE 25.—_Selection of Judges._—[See also Art. 13 of By-Laws.] In

every exhibition or race, over any course represented in the National

Association, each course for itself, through the proprietor or

association controlling the same, shall choose or authorize the selection

of three (3) competent Judges, for the day or race, who shall understand

the rules of the said National Association, and shall rigidly enforce the

same; and all their decisions shall be subject to and in conformity with

said rules.

Any person having any interest in, or any bet dependent upon the result

of a race, or having any interest in either of the horses engaged

therein, shall thereby be disqualified and restricted from acting as a

Judge in that race. And if any person who is thus disqualified shall

intentionally and deceptively violate this restriction, he shall, upon

conviction thereof by the Board of Appeals, be adjudged guilty of a

dishonorable act, for which he shall be expelled from every course

represented in said National Association.

RULE 26.—_Authority of Judges._—The Judges of the day or race shall have

authority, while presiding, to appoint distance and patrol judges and

timers; to inflict fines and penalties, as prescribed by these rules;

to determine all questions of fact relating to the race over which they

preside; to decide respecting any matters of difference between parties

to the race, or any contingent matter which shall arise, such as are not

otherwise provided for in these rules; but all their decisions shall be

in strict conformity with the rules, or with the principles thereof.

They shall have control over the horses about to start, and the riders

or drivers and assistants of the horses, and, in the absence of other

provision in these rules, they shall have authority to punish by a fine

not exceeding $100, or by suspension or expulsion, any such person who

shall fail to obey their orders or the rules.

RULE 27.—_Distance and Patrol Judges._—In all races of heats there shall

be a Distance Judge appointed by the Judges of the race or by those in

authority, who shall remain in the distance stand during the heats, and

immediately after each heat shall repair to the Judges’ stand and report

to the Judges the horse or horses that are distanced, and all foul or

improper conduct, if any has occurred under his observation.

Patrol Judges may be similarly appointed, and it shall be their duty

to repair in like manner to the Judges’ stand, and report all foul or

improper conduct, if any has occurred under their observation.

RULE 28.—_Powers and Duties of Judges._—The Judges shall be in the stand

fifteen minutes before the time for starting the race; they shall weigh

the riders or drivers, and determine the positions of the horses, and

inform each rider or driver of his place, before starting; they may

require the riders and drivers to be properly dressed; they shall be

prepared to take the time of each heat in the race, and they may appoint

some suitable person or persons to assist them in that respect, and the

time so taken shall be recorded and announced in conformity with these

rules. [See also Rules 39 and 40, and Art. 13 of By-Laws.]

The Judges shall ring the bell, or give other notice, ten minutes

previous to the time announced for the race to come off, which shall be

notice to all parties to prepare for the race at the appointed time,

when all the horses must appear at the stand, ready for the race, and

any rider or driver failing to obey this summons may be punished by a

fine not exceeding $100, or his horse may be ruled out by the Judges

and considered drawn; but in all stakes and matches a failure to appear

promptly at the appointed time shall render the delinquent party liable

to forfeit.

The result of a heat shall not be announced until the Judges are

satisfied as to the weights of the riders or drivers, and sufficient time

has elapsed to receive the reports of the Distance and Patrol Judges.

The Judges shall not notice or consider complaints of foul from any

person or persons except the Distance and Patrol Judges appointed by

themselves or by those in authority, and from owners, riders, or drivers

in the race.

If the Judges believe that a horse is being or has been “pulled,” or

has been ridden or driven in other respects improperly, with a design

to prevent his winning a heat which he was evidently able to win, and

that such act was done on the part of the rider or driver for the

purpose of throwing the race, or to perpetrate or aid a fraud, they

may declare that heat void, and they shall have power to substitute a

competent and reliable rider or driver for the remainder of the race,

who shall be paid a reasonable compensation for his services, but not

to exceed $50; and any professional rider or driver who, without good

and sufficient reason, refuses to be so substituted, may be fined,

suspended, or expelled, by order of the Judges and upon approval of the

Board of Appeals; and if the result and circumstances of the race shall

confirm their belief, the rider or driver so removed shall be expelled

by the Judges. And at the close of the race, if they are warranted under

the foregoing circumstances in deciding that such improper conduct has

changed the result of the race to the prejudice of innocent parties,

they shall declare all outside bets “off,” and if the owner or person or

persons controlling the offending horse shall be a party or parties to

such fraud, he or they, together with the horse, shall be punished by

expulsion. [See also Rules 22 and 48.]

RULE 29.—_Starting and Keeping Positions._—No rider or driver shall cause

unnecessary delay after the horses are called up, either by neglecting

to prepare for the race in time, or by failing to come for the word, or

otherwise; and in scoring, if the word is not given, all the horses in

the race shall immediately turn, at the tap of the bell or other signal

given, and jog back for a fresh start. But there shall be no recall after

the starting word or signal has been given. _Provided, however_, that if

the Judges shall through any error give signal of recall, _after having

given the word_, DISTANCE shall be waived in that heat, except for foul

riding or driving.

When the Judges are prevented from giving a fair start by a horse or

horses persistently scoring ahead of others, or being refractory, or from

any other fault of either horse, rider, or driver, it shall be their

duty, after three scorings, to select one of the contending horses, of

average speed compared with the others, and no driver shall come up in

advance of said horse before crossing the score.

No driver shall be allowed to sponge out his horse or horses oftener than

once in five times scoring.

If these requirements are not complied with on the part of any rider or

driver, the Judges may not only start the race, or give the word without

regard to the absence or position of the offending party or parties,

but the offender may be punished by a fine not exceeding $100, or by

suspension not to exceed one year.

In all cases, the starting word or signal shall be given from the Judges’

stand, and in no instance shall a standing start be given.

When, through any fault of either horse, rider, or driver, the Judges are

prevented from giving a fair and prompt start, they shall warn the faulty

party of the penalties to which he is subject, and if such warning is not

heeded, they shall rigidly enforce said penalties.

The horse winning a heat shall take the pole (or inside position) the

succeeding heat, and all others shall take their positions in the order

assigned them in judging the last heat. When two or more horses shall

make a dead heat, the horses shall start for the succeeding heat in the

same positions they occupied at the finish of the dead heat.

In coming out on the homestretch the foremost horse or horses shall keep

the positions first selected, or be liable to be distanced; and the

hindmost horse or horses, when there is sufficient room to pass on the

inside or anywhere on the homestretch, without interfering with others,

shall be allowed to do so, and any party interfering to prevent him or

them shall be distanced.

If a horse, in attempting to pass another on the homestretch, should at

any time cross or swerve, so as to impede the progress of a horse behind

him, he shall not be entitled to win that heat.

Although a leading horse is entitled to any part of the track, except

after selecting his position on the homestretch, he shall not change from

the right to the left, or from the inner to the outer side of the track,

during any part of the race, when another horse is so near him that in

altering his position he compels the horse behind him to shorten his

stride, or causes the rider or driver of such other horse to pull him out

of his stride; neither shall any horse, rider, or driver, cross, jostle,

or strike another horse, rider, or driver, nor swerve or do any other

thing that impedes the progress of another horse; nor shall any horse, in

passing a leading horse, take the track of the other horse so soon after

getting the lead as to cause the horse passed to shorten his stride.

In any heat wherein there shall be a violation of any of these

restrictions, the offending horse shall not be entitled to win the

heat, and he shall be placed behind all other horses in that heat. And

if the impropriety was intentional on the part of the rider or driver,

the offending horse may be distanced, and the rider or driver shall be

suspended or expelled. [See also Rule 48.]

RULE 30.—_Horses Breaking._—When any horse or horses break from their

gait in trotting or pacing, their riders or drivers shall at once pull

them to the gait in which they were to go the race, and any party failing

to comply with this requirement, if he come out ahead, shall lose the

heat, and the next best horse shall win the heat; and whether such

breaking horse come out ahead or not, all other horses shall be placed

ahead of him in that heat, and the Judges shall have discretionary power

to distance the offending horse or horses, and the rider or driver may be

punished by a fine not to exceed $100, or by suspension not exceeding one

year.

Should the rider or driver comply with this requirement, and the horse

should gain by a break, twice the distance so gained shall be taken from

him at the coming out; but this provision must not be so construed as to

shield any trotting or pacing horse from punishment for running.

In case of any horse (in a trotting race) repeatedly breaking, or

running, or pacing, while another horse is trotting, the Judges shall

punish the horse so breaking, running, or pacing, by placing him last in

the heat, or by distancing him.

A horse breaking at or near the score shall be subject to the same

penalty as if he broke on any other part of the track.

RULE 31.—_Relative to Heats and Horses Eligible to Start._—In heats,

one, two, three, or four miles, a horse not winning one heat in three,

shall not start for a fourth, unless such horse shall have made a dead

heat. In heats best three in five, a horse not winning a heat in the

first five shall not start for a sixth, unless said horse shall have

made a dead heat. But where ten or more horses start in a race, every

horse not distanced shall have the right to compete until the race is

completed—subject, however, to all other penalties in these rules.

RULE 32.—_Dead Heats._—A dead heat shall be counted in the race, and

shall be considered a heat which is undecided only as between the horses

making it, and it shall be considered a heat that is lost by all the

other horses contending therein; and the time made in a dead heat shall

constitute a record for each horse making such dead heat.

Whenever each of the horses making a dead heat would have been entitled

to terminate the race had he won said dead heat, they only shall start

again; and, in that case, each of the horses thus prevented from starting

shall retain his position in the award of premiums as if said dead heat

had been decided in favor of one of the horses which made the same a

“dead heat.”

A horse prevented from starting by this rule shall not be distanced, but

ruled out.

RULE 33.—_Time Between Heats._—The time between heats shall be twenty

minutes for mile heats; and for mile heats best three in five,

twenty-five minutes; and for two-mile heats, thirty minutes; for

three-mile heats, thirty-five minutes; and should there be a race of

four-mile heats, the time shall be forty minutes.

After the first heat the horses shall be called five minutes prior to the

time of starting.

RULE 34.—_Time Allowed in Case of Accidents._—In case of accidents, ten

minutes shall be allowed; but the Judges may allow more time when deemed

necessary and proper.

RULE 35.—_Collision and Break-Down._—In case of collision and break-down,

the party causing the same, whether willfully or otherwise, may be

distanced; and if the Judges find the collision was intentional or to

aid fraud, the driver in fault shall be forthwith suspended or expelled,

and his horse shall be distanced; but, if necessary to defeat fraud, the

Judges may direct the offending horse to start again.

No horse but the offending one shall be distanced in such a heat, except

for foul driving.

The Judges in a concluding heat, finding that a collision involved a

fraudulent object, may declare that heat void. [See also Rule 48.]

RULE 36.—_Placing Horses._—A horse must win a majority of the heats which

are required by the conditions of the race to be entitled to the purse or

stake; but if a horse shall have distanced all competitors in one heat,

the race will then be concluded, and such horse shall receive the entire

purse and stakes contended for.

When more than one horse remains in the race entitled to be placed at the

finish of the last heat, the second best horse shall receive the second

premium, if there be any; and if there be any third or fourth premium,

etc., for which no horse has won and maintained a specific place, the

same shall go to the winner; _provided_, that the number of premiums

awarded shall not exceed the number of horses which started in the race.

The foregoing provisions shall always apply, in such cases, unless

otherwise stated in the published conditions of the race.

In deciding the rank of horses other than the winner, as to second,

third, and fourth places, etc., to be assigned among such as remain

in the race entitled to be placed at the conclusion of the last heat

thereof, the several positions which have been assigned to each horse

so contending shall be considered as to every heat in the race—that is,

horses having won two heats, better than those winning one; a horse that

has won a heat, better than a horse only making a dead heat; a horse

winning one or two heats and making a dead heat, better than one winning

an equal number of heats but not making a dead heat; a horse winning a

heat or making a dead heat and not distanced in the race, better than a

horse that has not won a heat or made a dead heat; a horse that has been

placed “second” twice, better than a horse that has been placed “second”

only once, etc.

When two or more horses shall be equal in the race at the commencement of

a final heat thereof, they shall rank as to each other as they are placed

in the decision of such final heat.

In case these provisions shall not give a specific decision as to second

and third money, etc., the Judges of the race are to make the awards

according to their best judgment, but in conformity with the principles

of this rule.

RULE 37.—_Distances._—In races of mile heats, 80 yards shall be a

distance. In races of two-mile heats, 150 yards shall be a distance. In

races of three-mile heats, 220 yards shall be a distance. In races of

mile heats, best three in five, 100 yards shall be a distance. But if

any association or proprietor shall choose, they can provide, in heats

of not over one mile, wherein eight or more horses contend, to increase

the distance one-half, in which case such change shall be stated in the

published conditions of the race before entry.

All horses whose heads have not reached the distance-stand as soon as the

leading horse arrives at the winning-post shall be declared distanced,

except in cases otherwise provided for, or the punishment of the leading

horse by setting him back for running, when it shall be left to the

discretion of the Judges.

A distanced horse is out of the race, and if in any heat one horse shall

distance all competitors the race will then be completed, and the winner

shall be entitled to the entire purse and stakes contended for, unless

otherwise stipulated in the published conditions of the race.

RULE 38.—_Rank Between Distanced Horses._—Horses distanced in the

first heat of a race shall be equal, but horses that are distanced in

any subsequent heat shall rank as to each other in the order of the

positions to which they were entitled at the start of the heat in which

they were distanced.

RULE 39.—_Time and its Record._—In every public race the time of each

heat shall be accurately taken and placed in the record, and upon the

decision of each heat the time thereof shall be publicly announced by the

Judges, except as provided in these rules concerning those heats which

are “not awarded to either of the leading horses.”

It shall be the duty of the Judges of the race to take the time as

aforesaid, or to appoint some suitable person or persons to assist

them in that respect, and no _unofficial_ timing shall be announced or

admitted to the record. [See also Rule 40.]

RULE 40.—_Two Leading Horses to be Separately Timed._—The two leading

horses shall be separately timed, and if the heat is awarded to either,

his time only shall be announced and be a record.

In case of a dead heat, the time shall constitute a record for the horses

making the dead heat; and if for any other cause the heat is not awarded

to either of the leading horses, it shall be awarded to the next best

horse, and no time shall be given out by the Judges or recorded against

either horse; and the Judges may waive the application of the rule in

regard to distance in that heat, except for foul riding or driving.

RULE 41.—_Suppression of Time._—In any public race, if there shall be

any intentional suppression or misrepresentation in either the record or

the announcement of the time of any heat in the race, procured through

any connivance, or collusive arrangement, or understanding between the

proprietor or Judges or Timers and the owner of the winning horse or his

driver or other authorized agent, it shall be deemed fraudulent. And

any horse winning a heat or making a dead heat wherein there was such a

fraudulent suppression of time, together with the parties implicated in

the fraud, shall by operation of the rules be thenceforth expelled.

RULE 42.—_A Public Race._—Any contest for purse, premium, stake, or

wager, on any course, and in the presence of a Judge or Judges, shall

constitute a public race.

RULE 43.—_When Time Becomes a Bar._—Time made at fairs and on any track,

whether short or not, shall constitute a bar, the same as if made over a

track that was full measurement.

RULE 44.—_When Time shall not be a Bar._—Time made under the saddle, as

well as time made when two or more horses are harnessed together, shall

constitute a record for races of the same character, but shall not be a

bar for races of a different character.

RULE 45.—_Complaints by Riders or Drivers._—All complaints by riders or

drivers, of any foul riding or driving, or other misconduct, must be made

at the termination of the heat, and before the rider or driver dismounts

or leaves his vehicle.

RULE 46.—_Decorum._—If any owner, trainer, rider, driver, or attendant

of a horse, or any other person, use improper language to the officers

of the course or the Judges in a race, or be guilty of any improper

conduct, the person or persons so offending shall be punished by a fine

not exceeding $100, or by suspension or expulsion. [See also Rule 48.]

RULE 47.—_Loud Shouting._—Any rider or driver guilty of loud shouting, or

making other improper noise, or of making improper use of the whip during

the pendency of a heat, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $25, or

by suspension during the meeting. [See also Rule 48.]

RULE 48.—_Fouls._—If any act or thing shall be done by any owner, rider,

driver, or their horse or horses, during any race or in connection

therewith, which these rules define or warrant the Judges in deciding to

be fraudulent or foul, and if no special provision is made in these rules

to meet the case, the Judges shall have power to punish the offender by

fine not to exceed $100, or by suspension or expulsion. And in any case

of foul riding or driving they shall distance the offending horse, unless

they believe such a decision will favor a fraud.

The term “foul” shall be construed to apply to riding or driving contrary

to rule, to any act of a fraudulent nature, and to any unprincipled

conduct such as tends to debase the character of the trotting turf in the

estimation of the public. [See also Rules 28, 29, 35, 46 and 47.]

RULE 49.—_Fines._—All persons who shall have been fined under these

rules, unless they pay the fines imposed in full on the day of

assessment, shall be suspended until they are so paid or deposited with

the Treasurer of the National Association.

All fines which shall be paid to the association or proprietor on whose

grounds they were imposed, shall by them be reported and paid to the

Treasurer of said National Association.

RULE 50.—_No Compromise of Penalties._—In no case shall there be any

compromise in the manner of punishment prescribed in the rules, but the

same shall be strictly enforced.

RULE 51.—_Suspensions and Expulsions._—Whenever the penalty of suspension

is prescribed in these rules, if applied to a horse, it shall be

construed to mean a disqualification during the time of suspension

to enter or compete in any race to be performed on the course of the

association or proprietor; and if applied to a person, it shall be

construed to mean a conditional withholding of all right or privilege

to make an entry, or to ride, drive, train, or assist on the course and

grounds of the association or proprietor.

If no limit is fixed in an order of suspension and none is defined in

the rule applicable to the case, the punishment shall be considered as

limited to the season in which the order was issued.

Whenever the penalty of expulsion is prescribed in these rules, it shall

be construed to mean unconditional exclusion and disqualification from

any participation in the privileges and uses of the course and grounds of

the association or proprietor.

No penalty of expulsion shall be removed or modified, except by the order

or upon the approval of the Board of Appeals.

Whenever either of these penalties has been imposed on any horse

or person, on the grounds of any association or proprietor holding

membership in said National Association, written or printed notice

thereof shall immediately be forwarded to the Secretary of said National

Association, stating the offense and the character of punishment, who

shall at once transmit the information to each associated course or

member; and thereupon the offender thus punished shall suffer the

same penalty and disqualification with each and every association and

proprietor holding membership in said National Association.

RULE 52.—_Right of Appeal._—Any person who has been subjected to the

penalty of suspension, or a fine, by the decision of the Judges of a

race, can appeal from such decision to the association or proprietor upon

whose grounds the penalty was imposed, and from their decision can appeal

to the Board of Appeals; _provided_, that where the penalty was a fine,

it shall have been previously paid.

All decisions and rulings of the Judges of any race, and of the several

associations and proprietors belonging to said National Association, may

be appealed to the Board of Appeals, and shall be subject to review by

said Board, upon facts and questions involving the proper interpretation

and application of these rules, and their decisions shall be final;

_provided_, that parties to be affected thereby, shall be notified as the

Board shall direct, of a time and place when such appeal will be acted on

by the Board.

_Provided further_, if the appeal relate to the decision of a race,

immediate notice shall have been given to the Judges of the race, of the

intention so to appeal. Notices of all other appeals must be given within

one week from the announcement of the decisions appealed.

Any person who shall appeal from any order suspending him or his horse

for non-payment of entrance money or a fine, may deposit the amount

claimed with the Treasurer of said National Association, who may

thereupon issue a certificate or notice temporarily reinstating or

relieving the party and his horse from such penalty, subject to the final

action of the Board of Appeals.

RULE 53.—_Age of a Horse—How Reckoned._—The age of a horse shall be

reckoned from the first day of January of the year of foaling.

RULE 54.—_Colts and Fillies Equally Eligible to Enter._—All colts and

fillies shall be eligible alike to all premiums and stakes for animals of

their age, unless specially excluded by the conditions imposed.

RULE 55.—_A Green Horse._—A green horse is one that has never trotted or

paced for premiums or money either double or single.

RULE 56.—_Races made and “No Hour Named.”_—All races shall be started at

3 o’clock P. M., from the 1st day of April to the 15th day of September,

and after that date at 2 o’clock P. M., until the season closes, unless

otherwise provided.

RULE 57.—_Race made and no Distance Specified._—When a race is made and

no distance specified, it shall be restricted to the following distances,

viz.: One mile and repeat; mile heats, best 3 in 5; two miles and repeat,

or three miles and repeat, and may be performed in harness to wagon, or

under the saddle.

RULE 58.—_Race made to “Go as they Please.”_—When a race is made to go

as they please, it shall be construed that the performance shall be in

harness, to wagon, or under the saddle; but after the race is commenced

no change shall be made in the mode of going, and the race shall be

deemed to have commenced when the horses appear on the track.

RULE 59.—_Race made to go “in Harness.”_—When a race is made to go in

harness, it shall be construed to mean that the performance shall be to a

sulky.

RULE 60.—_Matches made against Time._—When a horse is matched against

time, it shall be proper to allow any other horse to accompany him in the

performance, but not to be harnessed with or in any way attached to him.

In matches made against time, the parties making the match shall be

entitled to three trials, unless expressly stipulated to the contrary,

which trials shall be had on the same day—the time between trials to be

the same as the time between heats in similar distances.

RULE 61.—_Horses sold with Engagements._—The seller of a horse sold with

his engagements has not the power of striking him out.

In case of private sale, the written acknowledgment of the parties that

the horse was sold with engagements, is necessary to entitle the buyer to

the benefit of this rule.
