Jluricg a (hree mile raco last week at St. iOuia between General Baford's ohcstcut colt JcWhirtcr, D. Swigert's bay colt Mahlstick, jyle & Scully's bay gelding Joo Rhodes and L Sc G. M. Simpson's chestnut oolt Rod Bluff, IcWhirtcr met with an accident of tho most nusual character. It is described as follows a the St. Louis Times of tho Gth iost : . When McVVhiricr and Mahlstick camo down he quarter stretch to complete tho scoond milo ; was neck and Dock at a steady, even run. lixly yards away Irom the string Mahlstiek ithout increasing speed suddenly appeared in lie lead. "iMcWhirtcr is giving down I" oiied ut some excited spectator. It was a truo rarning. One leg had failed him, but he kept n gallantly, for the game blood was hot. Had Cnox, the little colored jockey, reined him in lie lite of a noble horse might have been spared p.J might have served ia the 6lud for years. Jut supposing ho could have controlled the scitcd animal, there stood in the way llnole ilia's instructions, to make the race from start d iit)ish,or iD old Jno. Harper's expressive lanUftge, from "end to end." McWhirtcr kept on. It was virtually on brec legs. He rounded the lower turn and 'as well into the second quarter of tho last ltlc, there being ju^t a pcroeptiblo slacking of lie gait,wheu Joe Rhodes overhauled him and 'ont by. As tho horse passed him MoWhirter rccrved, and then it was that Knox, thoridor ays the other fore leg gavo down. From that eiot the poor fellow plunged ahead and into the ist half mile, every jump tearing teudon9, auscles, li >h aud skiu, and Knox tugging at he reins. Wheu at last the headway slackened nd the horse came to a sudden halt, it was with he bones of both forelegs torn from the sockts of the aDkle joints,and protruding six inches hrough hide aud flesh and resting in tho dirt, he hoofs lying limp and useless before. The udden halt sent the jockey flying over tho lorso's head. The scene and those that followed were, for nately, located on the backstretoh, and the ltlc crowd of forty or fifty who went there par iaily concealed the sad spectacle from tho held lasses in the grand stand. Had the accident icen finished where it began.on the last quarcr.it would have spoiled the sport with many turf lover for days to come. Maoy of thosG jho went over to the backstretch turned back L h "f fAn n c?tnnrl»i frlfin/IA 1CK iil Jl'.'Uit U11W1 U !)IUf,lu giuuvw. ''Shoot him, lor God's sake I" was tho irornpt instruction of thciowncr when he learned i\e lull extent of the misfortune. As soon as the jockey got out of the cirt he ad stripped the borso of pigskin and trappings nci Sk-ood crying at the woelul picture when he of the spectators reached tho plaoe. doVVhirtcr stood thus pitched forward and wo-tbirds of his weight resting on tho proruding bones for fifteen minutes, panting with be exertion of the race. The lire gleamed iD lis eyes and the perspiration rolled down his ides'. As the little-group of horrified spcctaors stood about him lie looked around as if Lirprised ' hat uo trainer hurried up wilh tho pODgc and .Mankct. Alas! lor McWhirter ; lotom'y was hiJ1 last race ruo, but there was 10 more use for a gainer. The command to vboot him" came perhaps ifteco minutes after tho acoident, for tho news 11 (he condition of Mc\Vhi.rtcr travelled slowly >ack across the wide field, nobody at first carog to tell what had happened to old General lulbrd, the owner. When the did ionic the halt a dozen policemen looked at each ither wilh no pleasant anticipation of sUoh a ask. Officer Kecble, ol the Fifth district, a xpcrienccd in horse matters, undertook it. lie ock his stand on the left side of McWhirter md, using a Co't's navy, fired at close range. The ball struck hjuarc about midway between be eye aud the base of the car, and from the ao!c the slreamiog blood gushed .forth. At the report the horse threw himself' back on hit haunches and struck out with his .mangled fore legs, but dropped down again into the samt steady position and stood there. Three lime; the officer levelled bis weapon and fired. J'hof time the bullet entered the brain and the Woo< gushed out. At the third shot McWhicte it r hobbled across the track aod stood py tneronec It seemed as if he would never fall. As h panted the blood would spurt out upon th fence aod run from his mouth and nose in grea olots. Finally the cflioer stepped directly i I rent el'die now laiiiog horse, and putting th muzzle of the pistol alpjost to the forehead fired, the ball entering right between the oyci The horse dropped theo, but it was not till Ion after he had been dragged into the Eouthca; corner of the grounds, underneath the shade ( a great oak, that life finally went out. Jockeys and trainers gathered about bit with the most marked manifestations of sorron The mane, which had been braided and tic with the Huford colors, red and white, wr sheared eff and carried away as keepsakes. It was declared at first that the bones of th forelegs had been brokeD. To any oneacquaio ed with the aaalomy ol r:»co horses th seemed impossible, and it proved Dot to hat been the ease. At the conclusion of tho race and while the grave was being dug, Gener Mitchell and other we'll known horsemen mac an examination. In one sense, perhaps, both McW hirtcr's legs were broken; but it was ni a bone fracture. Tendons and muscles we torn apart aod the bones disjointed. The act dent was what is knnwo amoDg horsemen "breaking down." Lt happoos occasionally < race tracks, hut probably there was never so so aggravated a case as this. The "broakii down" ol one leg occurred just before oomph iog the second mile, and the other gave w when floe Rhodes slipped past. After th MeWhirtcr ran on the stumps for a furloc crippling himself to the death. McClure, one ol the standard authorities, i scribes the accident as follows:. "Breaking down.This accident means 1 k. ' 3STO. 131. consists in rupture of the teodonsand ligaments, and occurs at once when the horse is at full speed. Tha horse stops suddenly, or, perhaps, stumblos and falls; gets up, but stands on his fotlooks, tho toe of the foot turned up and tin solo of tho foot a9 it were looking at you." Mr. Walsh, the editor of tho Field, ao Foglish paper, io his book describes "breaking down" as follows: "The aocidoet generally occurs io a bred horse when the flesh or muso^ do not continue to support the iigamcnts, from whioli circumstance it so often happcos in tho last few strides of a raoc. Tho symptoms are a paitial or entiro giving way of the fetlock joint cn flm hack of it either touol > « uuvrurraiu, cv »ut.. - the ground or nearly so when the weight u thrown upon it." Both authorities go on to desoribo a treatment, but from tho account already given it will bo seen that, after breaking down, McWhirtor, with tho most wonderful enduranoo probably ever seen on a track, had gono on and comploted bis run. Talking to a Times roportcr shortly after the occurrence General Buford said: "The bov ought to have held him up. McWhirter hasn'< I complained of this training, and I only entered I him to oomo hero. 1 engaged him hore and I nowhere else, lie was ridden badly at Louis I ville, where I gave him a trial to seo how he I woDt more than anything clso, and another I horse strnok him oa his good leg. (McWhirter I has had trouble with ono of his foro legs for I somo time past.) Wo havo nursed him and I ho seemed to bo all right. Wo used cold I water ou his leg and it must havo made it tenI dcr. I refused $10,000 for him. 11c rao the I grandost raoo ever won, and his winnings have I been betwocn $S,000 and $10,000."
