PILLD'S iiOILSES —On Saturday evening, a yearling by the
Flying Detehons, purchased by Lord Chesterfield for 400
guineas, was taken to the railway station in Company with
a string of horses which had been running at Goodwood
belonging to the same noble owner, it being the intention to
convey them by the 9 o'clock train to London. Seeing an
engine pus with the steam all flying about, the colt became
exceedingly terrified, broke away from the lad that was
holding him, and galloped towards the Caveraham road at
a fearful pace. The night being dark, the startled animal
Could not see the brick wall straight before it, facing the
Great Western gates. The hone rushed on terrifically
until its chest came in contact with thu wall, and so violent
was the collision that a portion of the wall was knocked
down, and the animal came down au its back in the ditch
below, several yards from the wall. After staggering a few
yards, it dropped down and died in a few hours afterwards.
