DAILY ENQUIRER- SUN; COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORMNG, NOVEMBER 19, 1886. RULES OF THE TURF. Som* of the Seed Wark Done h, the Cragrma Just Closed at Cincinnati. 'Conrler-Journal, Nov. 14. Col. Clark has returned from tho turf con gress which recently met at Cincinnati. A reporter for the Courier-Journal saw him yesterday and asked him what benefits had Leen derived from the recent meeting of the congress. Col. Clark said: “The benedts are sim ply these: the good that will result from any body of intelligent men, fully posted on the subjects they were to confer about, holding a meeting to listen to the sugges tions ot all parties interested in the result of their deliberations. Each of the Amer ican racing rules was read, discussed, al tered! and adopted for what the congress thought the best interests of tin; American turf. Tho most important change I con sider raising the stake weights to tho eusteru scale for two and three-year-olds, making the weights 115 pounds from May 1 to January 1 for two-year-olds in staked, aud 118 pounds for three-ycar-olda during the same period. The benefit of this change is obvious; for should any colt carrying these weights win at Louisville and Latonia, for instance, any of the great •events, then he will have demonstrated thoroughly his superiority by his perform ance, and will be coveted by all, especially if he is well engaged. The racing at Coney Island does not commence until after the great meetings in Kentucky have closed. WHAT CONSTITUTES A STAKTER. “Another rule which, on account of some of the decisions last year, attracted so much attention, was as to what consti tuted a starter in a race, and has been made so plain that there can he but one interpretation. The amendment is as fol lows : If a horse is excused after the jockey has weighed in, all the bets on the race are void, and additional time before the race shall be granted by the judges. “Of course, this additional time is grant ed for betting purposes and the prevention of dissatisfaction. It has been customary heretofore in America, and has always been so in England, that the -death of a nominator or owner makes void all the engagements of the horses owned by him at the time of his death. The American racing rules ■only permitted transfer before death to be valid. The new'rule permits all nomina tions to stand and not become void by death of a nominator, as the various states where the American racing rules are in operation have decided that such subscrip tions were legal and binding. Therefore f ood horses, whose value is Increased by eing heavily engaged, will not deteriorate in value by reason of tne death of the nom inator. A case in point was that of O’Fal- Jon last year, which horse would have sold for double or triple the amount derived for him had he not been barred from his engagements by reason of his owner’s death. AS TO SALE OP HORSE WITH ENGAGEMENTS. “Quite an important change was made with regard to the sale of a horse with en gagements and the liability of those en gagements on the part of the purchaser, who, under the new rule, shall only be liable for the forfeits Incurred or owing by himself. “Another amendment was that concern ing jockey’s fees: That if a jockey should refuse to ride for or accept the fees ns pro vided in the rules, he shall on complaint be suspended tor such a period of time as may be provided by the judges. The rules provide very liberal fees for both loosiug and winning mounts, and the necessity for this amendment was fully proven by abundant testimony from the turfmen present, who had suffered from the effects of not having it. “Another rule that was changed and that was of very great interest to betting men generally, and especially to those who have secured the pooling privileges of the tracks, was that of selling the favorite over the field. The old rule compelled the pool- seller, if one horse was favorite over the field, to sell three choices in tho field. The bookmakers, however, had no such re strictions and could sell the favorite against the field, thereby placing the auction pool men at quite a disadvantage. The amend ment reads as follows: “ ‘In no ease shall one horse be sold in the auction pool as the favorite against the field, when there are four or more horses to start. In case one horse is such a favorite that his opponents will not sell, the favorite may be left- out, and the same rule shall apply to the others in the race.’ JOCKEYS AND JUDGES. “A new rule was passed which, I think, will give universal satisfaction, and allow •every one in the stand a chance of judging the winner. The idea originated with Major B. <3. Thomas, of Lexington, and is a very practical one. This is the rule: “Every jockey shall wear a number on his ariii corresponding with the number ■of his horse on the programme for the day. “The public will thus have both the •colors of the rider and the number of the horse to aid t-hera in judging of the result. “Another important amendment to the duties and powers of judges was passed, which makes it imperative ‘that the pre siding judge shall demand of the judges se lected whether they are interested in the race or not, as no one interested in the re sult of a race, either because of ownership of any horse, bets, or otherwise, shall act judge, starter, or official therein. For any violation of this rule the parties may be suspended or ruled off.’ “The above I consider one of the most important rules in the book, for honest aud straightforward racing depends entirely upon the intelligent and fearless and strict administration of the rules of these offi cials, who should command the confidence of the public, as well as that of the breed ers, owners and others connected with the turf.’’ Black Wolf Or Black Leprosy, is a disease which is considered incurable, but it has yielded to the curative properties of Swift’s Specific— now known all over the world as S. S. S. Mrs. Bailey, of West Somerville, Mass., near Boston, was attacked several years ago with this hideous black eruption, and was treated by the best medical talent,, who could only say that the disease was a species of leprosy and consequently in curable. It is impossible to describe her sufferings. Her body from the crown or her head to the soles of her feet was a mass of decay, the flesh rotting oil anil leaving great cavities. Her fingers festered and several nails dropped off at one time, Her limbs contracted by the fearful ulceration, and for years she did not leave her bed. Her weight was reduced from 12o to MJ pounds, some faint idea of her condition can bo gleaned from the fact that three pounds of Cosmoline or ointment were used per week in dressing her -sores. Finally the physicians acknowledged thei. - defeat by this Black Wolf, and com mended the sufferer to her all-wise Creator. Her husband hearing wonderful reports of Swift’s Specific, (S. S. S.) prevailed on her to try It as a last resort. She began its use under protest, but soon found that her system was being relieved of the poison, as the sores assumed a red and healthy color, as though the blood was becoming pure and active. Mrs. Bailey continued the H. 8. S. until last February; every sore was healed; she discarded chair and crutches, and was for the first time in twelve years a well woman. Her husband, Mr. A. Bailey, Is in business at 174 Blackstone street, Boston, an will take pleasure in f iving the details of this wonderful cure. end to us for Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases, mailed free.
