WEIGHT for AGE.

—In racing advertisements, propositions of different kinds appear, in respect to the weights which are to be carried by the horses who are a year younger or a year older than each other. Such announcements vary, in some degree, between the weights of one place of sport and another; but as the GOLD CUP weights at Oxford are considered a fair criterion of equity, they are here introduced in explanation.
