Note. The erroneous impressions which have been entertained in reference to the liability of subscribers to the forfeits in the Granby handicap and gold cup, have induced the Stewards to make it thus publicly known, that any proprietor of a horse receiving a nomination, and not striking his horse out by the expiration of the time allowed for declaring the small forfeit, becomes liable for the whole of the large forfeit, or the stake, as the case may be. For the Billesdon Coplow and other stakes in which nominations may be given, the owner of the horse must pay the whole stake if his horse starts.
