CINCINNATI. OHIO. July @.-After
watching his gallant filly, Taluca, win the
Ohio stakes in the hardest kind of drive,
Dr. E. F. Mclean, one Of the best known
horsemen on the American turf, was at
tackled with heart disease and died short
time afterwards at the Oakley race track
this afternoon.
Mr.. Mclean was sitting alone in the
timers stand when he dropped over, gasp
ing for breath. Medical aid was summon
ed, but despite the efforts of several ply
scians. the turfman died just as the bu-
gle sounded. calling the horses to the post
for the last race. Mr.. McLean's death was
undoubtedly caused by the exciting finish
in the stake race and the sensational in
cidents which followed.
After Taluca crossed the wire winner by
a nose and the jockeys were dismounting,
John Huffman, the st. Louis horseman'
took advantage of the selling clause in the
conditions of the race and began TO bid up
Taluca. Mr. McLeans horse. Tom Black
burn. McLean's trainer, stood by and pro-
tected his filly, and after being bid up TO
$1,000. she was bought in by Blackburn at
that figure. Blackburn at once put IN a
claim for Remember Ne, Huffman's
horse which finished second to Taluca,
and after paying $500, the amount she was
entered for, both animals were led to che
Mclean stable. All during the run up,
DR.. Mclean sat silent watching the trans
action After it was over, McLean's
friends first noticed tnat he was Ill and
only short time afterwards he received
the fatal shock Mr.. McLean's death
caused the last race to be declared Off.
For fifteen years or more Mr.. Mclean
has raced horses and the public always
had the greatest confidence in his stable.
Mr.. Mclean was So years of age and
leaves a wife and family.
