CASE VII. An enquiry whether a horse having won a Sweepstakes of 23gs each (3 subscribers) is qualified to run for for a 501. Plate expressed to be for horses that never won Plate, Match, or Sweepstakes, of that value. Answer, by the Stewards of the J. C. That it has been the practice in estimating winnings, to consider the clear sum gained only, and consequently to exempt the Stake of the Proprietor: the horse, therefore, which had won a Sweepstakes of 46gs only, viz. two Stakes of 23gs each, was not thereby disqualified for the 501. Plate above-mentioned. CASE VIII.

The matter being referred to the Stewards of the Jockey Club, by his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, they determined that Mr. Baird was entitled to the Plate. CASE IX. A. betted B. that a Mare should trot a mile in five minutes, in four minutes and a half, and four minutes; all which it was stated she won with ease; but B. measuring the distance after the races were over, found it was short of a mile by four yards.-The Stewards of the J. C. to whom this point was referred, determined that as no objection was made to the measure of the Course before starting, and the mare having performed the distance set out, and not objected to, A. won all the Bets.
