NECK BROKEN.

Accident which May End in a Death.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Moran, jockey of
Miss DAILY, was thrown at the Brighton
Beach race track to-day and killed.
THIRTY-ONE HORSES IN THE RACE
The second race was started with 81
horses, although - owners had sent in an
application to have their horses with
drawn, as the number was too great and
the track too narrow TO give their ami
mails a chance to win, and, as was stated,
they were afraid of an accident. Cald-
we'll got the horses off IN punches, and Of
course they raised an immense cloud OF
dust, IN which those out of the front rank
could not see where they were riding to.
ONE OVER THE OTHER.
AT the ha'f-mile post Moran, who was
riding w. G. Days Miss DAILY and as
well as could be seen with the dust was
in third place on the outside, having Joe
Howell a little in front and closely fol-
lowed by Garrison on Blizzard and Lane
on Bonnie Lee, was seen TO suddenly pitch
high into the air and was quickly followed
by the other two falling also. Moran's
NNh was Uluhtls anu Q6dlls VI CONl st,
was almost instantaneous.
ARRIVAL Of M'LAUGHLIN.
He was prOtege of W. c.. Days and
was looked upon as the most promising Of
jockeys, having ridden some very fine
races and on a late occasion came near
beating his own mentor, James Nc
Laughltn, making a dead heat on King
Fan, Mclaughlin only beating him in the
Il of on Miss Brewster by a neck. The
ladies on the grand stand were affected
to tears and sobbing was heard all over
when his death became known, some Of
his admirers becoming quite hysterical.
ALooK AT THE CORPSE.
His remains, by leave of the Coroner,
were removed TO the temporary home of
his widowed mother, at Sheepshead Bay,
still habited in his jockey uniform, and
his features wearing the placid express
sion of deep sleep. The other riders
Garrison, who rode Blizzard, and Lane,
who rode Bonnie Lee, are getting along
all right.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
In the third race another accident oc-
cured, which. in one case, may prove
fatal. Rivers, who was riding Wonder
ment, and Williams, on Cardinal Nc
ClOskey, were thrown as they entered the
home-stretch, and Rivers was tonight
carried home tl~lluncOnscious and unable
to move. Williams escaped with a few
bruises. After this every one seemed to
lose heart and take no more interest in
the days proceedings.
