HJ RSE. 1:ow McWhirtor B oke Down--Running on Bare Sti mps--A Harrowing Spoc taclo Ter.aciLy of Lifo. During a throe mile raco last week at. St. Louis between General I3uford's chestnut colt McWhirter, D. Sw gert's bay colt Mthlstick, Lyle & Scully's bay gelding Joe Khodes and A. and G. M. Simpson's chestnut colt Red Bluft,,McWhirter mot with an accident of the most unusual character. It is loscribed as follows in the St. L,nis Times: RIUDDI:N TO THE DIArHt. When Mc\Vhirter and Mathlstick came down the quarter stretch to complete the second mile it was neck and neck at a steady, even run. Sixty yards away from the string Maiilstick without increasing speed sud:lenly appoared in the lead. "Mc\Whirter is giving down !" cried out somec excited spoe:tator. It was a timely warning. One leg had failed him, but lie kept on gallantly, for the game-blood was hot. Had Knox, the little colored jockey, reine.l him in the life of a noble horse iiit have been siared and might have ierved in the stud for ye trs. But sutpposing he could hive ontrolled the animal, there stood in the way Uncle Abe's in strl(ctiolls, to make the race from st:irt to finishi, or in old John Har pe"'s expressive language, from "end to cud." [c\hirter kept on. It wa1s vir tually on three logs. He rounded the lower turn and was well into the second quarter of the last mile, there being just a perceptible slacking of tho gait, when 'Joe Rlhiodes overhleld him and wont by. As the horse passed him Me Whirter swerved, and then it was that Knox, the rider, says the other fore leg gave down. From that point the poor fellow plunged ahead and into the last half mile, every jump tearing tendons, muscles, flesh and skin, and Knox tugging at the reins. gVhen at last the headway slackened and the horse came to a sudden halt, it was with the bones of both forelegs TORN FROM THE SOCKETS of the ankle joints, and protruding six inches through hide and flesh antd restir r in the dirt, the hoofs lying limp and useless before. The sudden halt sent the jockey flying over the horse's head. The scene and those that followed were, fortunately, located on the backstretch, and the little crowd of forty or fifty who wont there par tially concealed the sad spectacle from the field glasses in the grandI stand. Had the accid 'nt been finished where it began-on the last quarter-it wvould hiave sp)oild I( the sport with rmny a turf lover' for days to come. Many of those who wvent over to the backstretch turn&P back sick at heart after a single "Shoot him, for God's sako !" was the p)ronmpt instrucetion of the owner when he learned the full extent of the misfortune. ,As soon as the jockey got out of the (dilt, lhe had stripped the horseo r>f pigskin and1 trappings and stood arying at the wvoe.ful picture when the first of the spectators reached the plaeo. McWhirtor stood thus! pitched forward and two-thirds of his weight resting on the protruding bones for fifteen minutes, panting with thme exertion of the race. The lire gleamed in his sides. As the Little group of horrified spectators stood about him ho looked around as if surprised t'nat no trainer hur r'iod upl with sponge and blanket. AJas ! for McWhirter ; not only was ais lat race run, but there was no more use for a trainer. THlE COMMAND TO "SHOOT HIM' name perhaps fifteen minutes after the accident, for the news of the sondiition of McWhirter travelled slowly back across the wide field, nOoody at first caring to tell what bad happened to old General Buford, the owner. When the ommand did come the half a dozen policemen looked at each other with no pleasant anticipation of such a ask. Officer Keeble, dl the Ififth aIntfrat.a an -aznerienned In hra close range. The ball stu'3k sql:lro about midway between the eyo and the base of the e it, an I from the hole the streaming blood gushed forth. At the report tho horse threw himself back on his haunches and struck out with his mangled forelegs, but dropped down again into the same steady position and stood there. Threo times the officer levelled his woapod and fired. Each time the bullet entered the brain and the blood gushed out. At the third shot McWhirter hob. bled across the track and stood by the fence. It seemed as if he would never fall As he panted, the blood would spurt out upon the fence and run from his mouth and nose in great clots. Finally the officer stepped directly in front of the now falling horse, and putting the muzzle of the pistol almost to the foreho.td, fired, the ball entering right be tween the eyes. Tho horse dropped then, but it was not till long after he had been dragged into the southeast corner of the grouncls, underneath the shade of a great oak, that, life finally went out. Jockeys and trainers gathered about him with the most marked manifestations of sorrow. The mane, which had been braided and tied with the Buford colors, red and white, was sheared off carried away as keepsakes. At the coil (lusion of the races, and while the rave was being dug, General Mitchell and other well known liorsemen tAP. AN EXAMINATION. Inl one sense, perhaps, both of \.c.leWhirtcr's legs were broken ; but it was not a bone fracture. Ten clous and muscles were torn apart and the .,oncs disjointod. The accidlent wAIs what is knowin among horsemen as 'breaking down." It ha1pnoceasionaaIly on1 race tracks, but probably there was never seen so aggravated a case as this. The "breakin;; down" of one log occur red just before completing the second mile, and the other gave way whei Joe Rhodes slipped past. After that MeWIhirter ran on stumps for a furlong, crippling himself to death. WHAT TILE TROUBLE WAS. Mr. Walsh, editor of the Fielcl, an English paper, in his book do scribes "breaking down" as follows: "Tlie accident generally occurs in a bred horse when the flesh or muscles do not confinue to support the ligaments, from which circumstance it so often happens in the last few strides of a race. The symptoms are a partial or entire giving way of the fetlock joint downward, so that the back of it either touches the ground or nearly so when the weight is thrown upon it." Talking to a TIimes reporter shor fly after the occurrence General Buford said :- "he boy ought to have held hi up. McVhirter hasn't complained of his training, and I only entered him to come here. I engagel him hero and nowhere else. He was ridden badly at Louisville, where I gave him a t.rial to see how lhe wvent more than anything else, and another horse struck him on his good leg. (McWVhirter has had trouble with one of his loge for some time past.) We have nursed him and lie seemed to 1)e all right. We used cold. water on lisa leg and it must have made it tonoer. I refused $10,000 for him. Ho ran the grandest race over won, and his winnings have been between $8,000 and $10,000." The jockey wvho was to ride Mc Whirtor lies at home with a frac tured thigh, caused by an accident in exercising Enquirer. T he St. Louis Jockey Club will put a monument in McWVhirter's memocry, andc any tiu'fmon desiring to subscribe will be permitted to do so.
