outpaced, being tailed off early. Half a mile from home
Cutler came to the front, and won easily by a length ; six

WILTSHIRE COUNTY STEEPLECHASES.

An objection was made to The Thane, the horse which
came in first for the Longleat Stakes, on the ground that
he was incorrectly nominated, and the case having gone
before the Stewards, the following is their decision :
We, the undersigned, being Stewards of this meeting,
have examined the evidence relating to the objection to
"The Thane" (made by Mr. W. 11. P. Jenkins, owner of
"Jack o'Newbury," the second in the Longleat Stakes),
and consider him to be wrongly nominated, and there-
fore disqualified, as he ran at the Donnington Hunt
Meeting as "Br. gelding, by Rocket," and was entered
in the Longleat Stakes simply as " The Thane," which
was published in the Racing Calendar and sporting papers.
As no alteration or addition of any kind can be made to
a nomination after the stakes are closed and published, we
hereby authorise the Longleat Stakes to be paid to the
owner of "Jack o'Newbury," as the winner.

for the Duke of Beaufort).
To Mr. E. Reilly, Secretary of the
Wiltshire County Steeplechases, Westbury,

The Duke of Beaufort was not bresent at the races, but
sul•sevenoy signed the decision, and stated in the follow-
iug his reasons fo► so doing :-
1 have been called upon, both by tho owner of the honie
who came in first, and by the Stewards before whom the
evidence in the case was laid, to record my opinion in this
cat:e. _ _

Having carefully read the evidence, I have no doubt
that " The Thane" is disqualified. He should have been
entored as " late the, &c., &c.," and the entry was not
amended until the stake had been closed (I believe more
than a week). This would amount to a fresh nomination
and is fatal to the owner. _ _

At the same time I bound to say, that so far from
there being any evidence of a fraudulent intention on the
part of the owner of " The Thane," he took immediate steps
on discovering the omission to rectify the entry, by
a full description of his horse, though, unfortunately for
himself, it was too late to entitle him to receive the stakes.

I was a Steward of the meeting, but not being present I
appointed a gentlemen to act in my stead, and if it had not
