Lives with q Broken Neck.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Young George
Goldberg, 10 years old, who lives with his
parents at 60 President street, Brooklyn, is
an anatomical curiosity, the poor fellow has
q broken neck. On June 10 George went to
picnic at Schuetzen Park. The luscious
fruit in a cherry tree tempted him. He
climbed the tree, but unfortunately he fell
headlong to the ground. He was unoonci-
GUS when he was picked up. An ambu-
lance took him to the Long Island College hos
pital. DR.. Rand, the surgeon, examined
him and said that his neck was broken.
After five weeks he was discharged from
the hospital cured. His neck was stiff, but
otherwise 1T seemed to be all right. A few
days ago George had another fall and his
neck got out of order again. His head wob-
bled about and he suffered great pain.
Yesterday his mother brought him to the
Office of the Brooklyn Charities Commission
ers. In the most matter. OF. fact way the
mother told the Commissioners that her son
had broken neck. George was taken to
Flatbush. County Physicians Burns and
Stone examined the boy and stated that
they had never known of similar case.
The parents of the boy are poor.

POOR WEATHER FOR THE YACHTS

| Wonderful work Done by the Titania
| Tho Clara the First Boat to Gross.
NEWPORT, Aug. 15.-The weather condi-
tions this morning were most unfavorable
for the cruise of the New York Yacht club
feet from New Bedford, and heavy fog lay
over the water but gradually lifted. For
some time after daylight the yaohtsmen were
in doubt whether start could be made or
not, but at o'clock 1t was decided to make
the run, and this fact was announced from
the Electra. The preparatory signal for the
start was given at 9:3S, the start for smaller
classes at 9:43 and the handicap gun was
fred 1t 9:4S. The start for the larger classes
was signalled at 1908, handicap at 1918,
with the Marguerite Oenone, Mayaower, Mer-
lin, Sea Fox, Iroquois and Fredonia crossing
the line in the order named, the latter
being 3 minutes seconds behind. A mile
out the wind was backing on the boats. The
Oracle had gained on the schooners starting
near her and the Constellation led her class
down to the Buzzards Bay. The Gorilla led
the feet with the Clara second, Liris third
and BERTHE fourth. The Quickstep was CON-
ing down the bay like a race horse and had
overtaken the Harpinger. The Gorilla round
SA4SAO1n
the time of the other leading yachts being as
follows: Clara 12:e2:15, BERTHE 12:06:e0, Mar
iquita 12:15:35, Harbinger 12:16:5O, Liris
12:05:15, Letowana 12:14:16, Quickstep

Hildegarde 12:22:30, Oracle 12:25:30, Con-
stellation 12:ae:o0, arayling 1S:3s:30.
The Quiokstep got a good slant of wind
after passing the lightship, and closed up on
the leaders. Between the Chickens light
ship and the West Island light the Clara
passed the Gorilla and led the feet. About
2:30 the Electra anchored off the ightship.
The Clara was the the first boat to Cross with
whole mainsail, jib, foresail and club topsail
set. The Gorilla was the second under the
same sail as the Clara, with the addition of
jib topsail and would have beaten the Clara
if in the same class on corrected time. Both
boats made fine run and the Gorilla, which
is getting into fine shape, is sailing better
with each run. The Liris crossed next with
the same sail as the Gorilla. The
Quickstep was the first schooner and the
next boat in, and was followed by the BERTHE,
Constellation, Titania, Grayling and Sea Fox,
which came down on q line close together,
making one of the prettiest sights ever seen
in yacht race. The Oracle came next, then
the Katrina, and then the Iroquois, the latter
having won in her class. Though badly
handicapped the Hildegarde, followed by the
Mariquita, came next, then the Mayhower
and HarbingeE, and the 81 mile run had
been completed. Under the circumstances,
the work of the Quickstep is commendable.
The most wonderful work of the run was
done by the Titania in beating the Katrina,

TRAINED STEERS.
MIR. Lyons New Pair weigh l,4OO an
and Perform MANY Feats

MR. Lyons new Fa1r weigh l.4OO m a
and Perform Many Feats,
Mr. E. w. Lyon, who sold his trained
steers to P. T. Barnum last fall, at once
bought another pair of Devon steers of George
Percy of Bethlehem, and put them in train
ing. Mr.. Lyons previous experience in
teaching has resulted in producing wonder
full proficiency in his new pupils. They are
one year old last spring and though less than
year under his instruction they excel any
pair he has yet owned and are now able to
give better exhibition than the pair sold to
the greatest Snowman on earth, and they per-
form many entirely new tricks, besides do
ing everything performed by the pair pre-
viously trained. Some of the new feats of
interest are the swinging table act, walking
on their knees in concert-both for
ward and backward, rolling barrel
with both forward feet-a single act, besides
many other things entirely new, not given in
his former exhibitions. The weight of the
pair is 1, 400 pounds. Mr.. Lyon is now liv-
ing in Thomaston and will exhibit his bovine
wonders at the New England fair the first
week in September. Mr.. Lyons remarkable
tact in teaching dumb animals betrays a
special aptitude for that kind of work, and
shows that he possesses q peculiar insight
into animal instinct and disposition giving
him perfect control of their movements.
