SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING QUESTION DECIDED.
1 The opinion of the Stewards of the Jockey Club was re-
quested by the Stewards of Rochester and Chatham Races on
the fbllowing case :
For the Chatham Plate, the winner of a Stake or Plate in
1823 was to carry 71b. extra; and the question was, whether a
filly who had won a Plate subsequently to the entering for the
Chatham Plate, but previously to the running for it, was to
carry 71b. extra ?
The Stewards of the Jockey .Club gave it as their opinion,
that she was not obliged to carry 71b. extra; and they stated,
they were aware that conflicting opinions had been given on
this question, but on mature consideration they thought the
better rule was, that a horse, being duly qualified at the expi-
ration of the time of naming or entering for a Stake or Plate,
should not be affected, as to that Stake or Plate, by any sub-
sequent event,
