KINGFULL WAS LOANED OUT.
His Owner, e. A. Massart, Did Mo-
COuntenance Pulling of Horse.

The pulling of Kingfull at the Fair
Grounds race track Wednesday after
noon was generally discussed in sport
ing circles yesterday. The Jockeys act
was palpable and all bets were prompt
ly declared off.
Kingfull is owned by E. A Massart
and is a fast horse. He could have
won easily. Massart was angry when
the horse was pulled and would have
in no manner been benefited had the
horse either won or lost. The racer
was borrowed from Massart for the oc-
casion and he had nothing to do with
the act, and did not countenance it, To
encourage the sport the owner loaned
Kingfull and expressed regrets that
the rider should have held the horse
back

inspecting the Brunswick Rifemen. He
has already inspected the Screven
Guards at Sylvania. and it is said that
there is little doubt that his recon-

that it really rebounds to any advan-
tage to the service. The disarmament

Pools of blood formed all over the floor Of the precinct when the men were standing around. The shirt of Miles was a mass of blood and the doctors found that he received a stab over the head, and two deep ones on the left arm. Dr. W. M. Kenna and Dr. L. M. Gompertz were called for by tel- ephone, and worked for an hour on the heads and necks of the men. pr. Gom- pertz's brother, Jewell M. Gompertz, a Washington dentist, who is.visiting his brother in New Haven, also went to the station house, and assisted in sewing up the cuts. ~
 Paulis lost so much blood in the sta- ton house that he fainted twice while the doctors were sewing up cuts on his head and wrists. and his fellow coun- tryman, Louis Garofano, was groggy from a wound on the top of the head.
 Lofredo had a cut two inches long and half an inch deep on the side of his head.
 Bail was furnished for Miles and Bauman last night by James T. Ken seller. The men will appear in the city court to-day.
