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.
