turning to weigh on Tuesday, after the race for the Queen's
Plate at Egham, F. Adams, the rider of Twilight, went di-
rect to Johnny Reeves (who was seated at the time) and
struck him a severe blow in the face, causing blood to now
freely. Adams being a heavier and bigger lad the affair
created much indignation, and on the case being submitted
to the stewards, Admiral Rous and Lord Wm. Powlett, they
gave the following decision :—" Whereas as F. Adams,
jockey, assaulted John Reeves, jockey, and struck him in
the face without any apparent provocation in the weighing
room on the first day at the Egham race meeting, the
stewards order F. Adams to pay a fine of £lO to the Ben-
tinck Benevolent Fund. The stewards of all race meetings
are requested to prevent him riding in publiq -until the said
fine be paid to Messrs. Weatherby.
