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.

Fill your phonograph-No. 6, in

wires or cords that not a door about

raised, without starting the machine
