TO CORRESPONDENTS.
A. 8. , Alford Forest—A “maiden" horse or mare » one that has never won an advertised race (matches, hurdle races, and steeplechases ezceepted) in any country at the time ot entrance. If the race your horse won was advertised, he is no longer a “maiden" in the strict interpretation of rtcing law as laid down by the principal olaos. But if your horse won a sweepstake or added money oy tunning second in a race he may still be a “ maiden." The amount won has nothing to do with the matter. When country Oommittees essay to define a “maiden" horse by some des onption of their own, they usually make a most egregious muddle of the task, and give rise to endless disputes. We are enable to give a more precise opinion on 3 tne case you submit without seeing the programme referred to.
