United by Jockey Coley Thompson ON
Myosotis in the third race at Newport
to-day caused considerable excitement
on the track. Myosotis bore out on
Bon Jour coming down the stretch, and
carried him to the rail. J. Matthews
on Bon Jour, after getting his mount
straightened out again, drew his whip
and struck Thompson across the face
The blow brought a stream of blood
from Thompson's nose, and cut a cash
in his lip. The judges disqualified
Myosotis, and placed the other horses
up. After the race Thompson and
Matthews got into a fight in the pad
dock, but were separated by the police
before any damage was done. Both
boys will be up before the judges on
Thursday to explain their disorderly
factions ON the track. Weather pleas
ant and track fast. Results:
