The growth of turf interests in’ the United States

e ’ A ip :
has been somewhiat marvelous, and’ if properly: watéhed

over its progress will be none the less so. But to attam
the desired success; its abuses must be checked, and the

‘greatest’ of care will be required of those who are identi-
fied ‘with the industry, both as breeders, and in conduct-
‘iné public exhibitions of speed, upon: the popularity: of
‘which much of the value derived froin the swiftness of

the noble animal depends.! sola te Te ere
This Bureau has been organized to assist in the labors
that are:required: in this behalf, anf its rules and, regu-

lations-‘are constructed with a view of imparting purity

to speed contests, prevénting frauds. thereat,,.and. secuy-
ing uniformity therein; elevating their moral. tone and
increasing their popularity as a sport and place of recre-
ation and resort. for amusement, free from all possible
examples of vice, trickery, and immoral tendencies.
These qualities lie at the bottom of their public favor
or disfavor, and upon them depends their patronage and
ultimate success. ‘ fy
The Bureau is not gotten up in n, antagonism t to any as-
sociation having the same or similar objects in view.
It. only seeks, with rules modified: to better suit their
condition, to extend the benefits of protective organiza-

tion to the Fairs, a class of societies that have heretofore
mostly been without the benefits of co-operation in this
particular, as out of about 1,200 fairs in the United
States annually, the National Trotting Association has
not had to exceed 208 members in any year, the larger
part of which were associations devoted exclusively to

racing.
Its general features may be summarized briefly as
follows : °

The identification, so far as possible, of the interests
of horsemen and the members, securing harmony and
promoting the mutual desire of each to assist the other
in advancing the welfare of both.

The legislative and elective branches of the business
are conducted on a plan believed to be original with it ;
that of designating preferences by a sealed vote forward-
ed by mail, to be canvassed and the result de-
clared by the National Court, elected by the members,
thus extending to each member the right of franchise,
pure, and without the expense of sending a delegate on
a lengthy trip to vote at headquarters or be unrepresent-
ed or liable to be misrepresented by a proxy vote.

To this is added an official paper, conveying regular-
ly to each member full information of the workings of
the Bureau and the movements of its members.

One of the most just, and most common complaints of
~ “honest turfmen and race-loviug and going people, has
been against “‘ringers,’’? and the entry by dishonest
horsemen of animals in classes much slower than where
they belong, making the contests so very unequal as to
detract much from the interest that would otherwise be
manifested in them. ‘I'o enable members to know abso-
lutely the class in which the time credited to a horse
places him, the provision enacted for the issue of an
Identification Certificate to horsemen, acting as a cre-
dential for this purpose, is here inaugurated and it is

PREFACE. Vv
believed that its general enforcement will be very potent
in putting an end to this objectional practice.

To encourage horsemen to attend the smaller race
meetings, the rigor of the rule forbidding conditional
entries may be relaxed, and a member may take “reserv-
ed entries’’ so that a horse once entered may be entered
for a subsequent race at the same meeting, and by the
nominator specifying that the entry is reserved, he is
only held for the payment of one-half of the entry fee.
This provision is only the carrying of the principle
adopted last year at Chicago, and becoming popular with
our prominent race courses, making a portion of the fee,
one-half payable in advance, and the remaining one-half
relieved from in case the nominator does not wish to
start the entry.

The Rutes and Regulations have been compiled from
such rules as have been suggested by years of experience
in racing to be the most properly adapted to the ends
sought, and do not differ generally from those of the
National Trotting Association, except in the order of ar-
rangement, the plan here employed being to take up each
topic, complete it, and follow the methodical form of ar-
ranging them in the same order as the events naturally
occur at a meeting. Order is thus brought out of chaos,
and reference facilitated. For the latter purpose the
catch words giving the substantive part of each rule, in
black type at its beginning, are employed, and to enable
the reader to refer at once to the rules of the National
Association, and point out any difference that may exist
in the two, each rule contains a reference to the corre-
sponding rule of that Association.

Ample Courts are provided for the adjudication of all
disputes arising, so constituted that one may be readily
convened, and a hearing had at any point, ensuring the
accused an impartial trial, of all cases brought before
them, without the delay or expense that amounts toa de-
nial of justice.

MI ‘PREFACE.

As the races at most meetings are of a mixed charac-
ter, the rules governing runffing races, so little known
and difficult to obtain heretofore, are here given, as well
as those applying to trotting and pacing contests.

The executive branch of the work is done through the
Bureau, with every kind of arrogance and extravgance
avoided, and every branch of the business conducted
with the utmost simplicity. All unnecessary formality
and detail have been dispensed with, and the exactions
in the way of reports heretofore made, have been much
relaxed by the adoption of a system of labor saving
blanks, to meet the requirements of the Bureau and for
publication. . \

_ Lastly and not least, it may be said that the member-
ship fee is put at assum only necessary to meet the ex-

pense of conducting the business properly, and within
the reach of every fair or racing association. The solic-
itation for membership and support believed to be mer-
ited, is extended to every individual and society under
whose management races are to be conducted.

sisting of one judge, residing in the district, known as
the District Court, and having jurisdiction of all questions
arising within the district relative to the action of the
judges of any race, or the action of members in relation
thereto; and the other a National Court, consisting of
three judges, having appellate and final jurisdiction of
all questions passed upon by the district courts, and
original jurisdiction of all complaints against members
wherein their conduct is brought in question.

idence of the proposed candidates and the offices for
which they are named. Thereupon a printed list of all

the nominations will be prepared, published and sent to
each of the members. Within ten days after the first
day of January following such notice, each member may
select one person from the list of nominations for Judge
in their district, and one from the nominations for Na-
tional Judge, reduce such choice to writing and seal the
same in an envelope, and endorse the same vote of ;
giving the name and address of the member, enclose such
envelope in another, and address the same to the Bureau.
On the last Monday of January following, the votes re-
ceived will be opened and canvassed in the presence of
the judges of the National Court, and the result declared.
All. vacancies of district judges are to be filled by ap-
pointment by the National Court, and in case of a vacan-
cy occurring in the latter court, the remaining members
fill the same until the next election, when a judge will
be elected for the unexpired term.

Amendments.—At the time of making the nomina-
tions for judges, any member may propose amendments
to the rules and regulations governing speed contests,
first securing the endorsement of the proposed amend-
ment by two other members of the Bureau, and they will
be submitted for adoption or rejection by vote, at the
same time as the nominations for judges, and the result
canvassed and declared in the same manner.

Identification Certificates—Any person desiring
to engage in the speed contests for purses offered by
members of this Bureau, may file a statement with the
Bureau, made under oath, and endorsed by one or more
acquaintances (members preferred) of the applicant, giv-
ing the same description of his horse or horses to be en-
tered in such contests, as required when the same is to
be entered in a race, and the slowest class to which such
horse or horses may be eligible. Upon the filing of such
statement, and the payment of a recording fee of fifty
cents, an Identification Certificate will be issned to the
applicant, showing the facts given relative to such horse

or horses. Such certificate shall be taken by the mem-
bers of the Bureau as evidence of the existence of such
facts at the date of the certificate, and whenever any
animal shall engage in a race over the course of a mem-
ber, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the associa-
tion or society, upon application by the owner or driver
of the animal, at any time after the close of the race, to

and if no heats be won, that fact, and date and sign the
same. Such certificates are good for the year in which
they are issued unless sooner revoked, and when a cer-
tificate has once been revoked, it is optional with the
Bureau whether another be issued.

Any member, after having published the fact along
with the conditions of the races. may refuse to allow a
horse to start in the races, not having the certificate
aforesaid; but shall not be allowed toretain the entrance
fee. '

In the absence of an officer authorized by law to ad-
minister the oath, it may be done by an officer of the as-
sociation, or one of the-judges of the race, and the oath
so administered shall be sufficient for purposes of the
case. (16-9)

evidence sufficient to warrant them in excluding the horse
from the race, they shall allow him to start or continue

- won by the horse, if any, may be retained for a period of,

three weeks to allow the parties intérested a chance to
sustain the allegations of the protest, or to furnish infor-

BETTING RULES.

A code of Betting Rules, 52 in number, was adopted
by the Congress of the National Trotting Association in
1870 as a factor in correcting the abuses, and promoting
the objects sought by that Association. These were re-
vised by a committee appointed by that body, and their
report, being the present code of 51 Betting Rules, was
adopted at the session of 1871, and since that time, they
have been the standard of authority among sporting and
turfmen.

They form no part or these rules but are published
here for the convenience of those who may have occasion
to consult them, a work of this kind not being deemed
complete without them.

No. 1: All pools and bets must follow the main
stakes, purse, or other prize, as awarded by the decision
of the judges, except in cases where the horse that comes
in first is found to be disqualified, or the pela are declar-
ed off for fraud or collusion.

No. 2. If the race is postponed, it shall not affect the
pools or bets that may have made onit. They shall
stand until the race comes off, unless the contrary shall
be agreed on between the parties betting; provided the
race takes place within five days of the time first named;
aiter which time all bets and pools are drawn, unless
made play or pay.

No. 3. When any change is made in the conditions
of arace, all pools and bets maid previous to the an-
nouncement of the change shall be null and void.

No. 4. When a bet is made on one horse against the
field, he must start or the bet is off, and the field is what
star ts against him; but there is no ‘field unless one starts
against ‘him.

48 BETTING RULES.

Ne. 5. In pools and betting, the pool stands good for
all the horses that start in the race; but for those horses
that do not start the money must be returned to the
purchaser.

No. 6. In races made play or pay, outside bets are
not made play or pay unless so made by the parties.

No. 7. All bets are void on the decease of either
party, but in case a horse should die, play or pay bets
made on him stand.

No. 8. If a bet is made on any number of straight
heats, and there is a dead heat made, the heats are not
straight, and the party betting on straights loses.

No. 9. If in any case the Judges declare a heat null
and void, it does not affect the bets as in case of a dead
heat as to winning in straight heats.

No. 10. When a race is coming off, and a party bets
that a heat will be made in two minutes and thirty sec-
onds (2.30), and they make two thirty (2.30) or less, he
_ would win. If he bets they will beat two minutes and
thirty seconds (2.30), and they make exactly two thirty
