FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR W. FLOOD.

Thrown from His Horse and Killed.

iin W. Flood, the well-known Secretary

of tho Auckland Club, was thrown from his lorse while returning from tho hunt on

Saturday evening, and the injurios he sus tained terminated fatally this morning. Ii fact, his case was hopeless from the outset,

and medical skill was thoreforo unavailing. Tho particulars of tho accidont are fen and simplo, but on one material pom' thowitnosses are by no means unanimous in thoir statements. From what wo can learn, ' Mr flood proceeded to the hunt at tho Three Rings oil Saturday, and lato in tho after noon went in company with othors to the re.idonce of Mr R. J. O'Sullivan (Chief Inspector of Schools) at Onehunga, where tho party partook of refreshment. At this placo, Mr Flood fell in with Messrs W, and F. E. Shorn, if. N. Smith (Whangarei Coal Company), ami Webstor, and along with thorn ho sot off for homo towards dusk. Ono of our reporters interviewed Messrs H. N. Smith and W. Shera this morning with respect to tho accident, and ho is indebted to tho courtesy of tho lattor gentleman for a narrative of what tran spired on tho way homo, Mr Smith boing unwilling to supplement tho bald state ment that had already boon pub lished. It seems that Mr Flood was mounted upon p. Maori pony, which again and again displayed <_, weakness for abruptly coming to a 'standstill and oc casionally swerving. The party woro pro ceeding along at a leisurely walk when just opposite Mr Browning's residence the pony suddenly stoppod, and Mr Flood foil on to tho road upon his sido. He was quite unhurt, and at onne remounted. The caval cade passed on still at a walk, and on reach ing Mr Uuckland's rosidonco, Mr Flood's

*teod repented his unexpected mnna-uvro, and again tijo gojiolman foil. Once more he cs-riped injury, but this timo MrF. E Shorn .iho was mounted liiwn a quiet nnd doc.'l.; .inimnl, formorly ueod by Colcnol I);: i -ns little boy, insisted upon changing li i- ■• -s with his companion. Mr Flood con so., od, and mounted afresh, ho pushed on wi.h his party. Tho walk was still main tained, and nothing further occurred until tho railway bridge on tho Manukau Road was reached. At that timo tho mombors if tho party wero somewhat scattered. Messrs Flood and Smith were in advance, i_Jos3rs Webster and F. E, Shera some 100 yaidn behjnd, ond Mr W. Shorn was fully 300 yards to tho rear.. Tho moon was shining.and Mr W. Shera -saya that the nholo party wero walking their lior.es, that in this way tho bridge was reached, and that immediately afterwards Mr Flood's lioi\-o quickened its p.ico into a canter and disappeared from his sight. Messrs Shera and Smith ogreo in saying that tho horse did not bolt. It is as to the paco of tho horsos that tho elomont of direct conflict of testimony obtrudoa itself. Mr W. J. Suiter was ptanding at tho gate of his breivory about 7.30, when the sound of mnny hoofs clattering along at a very fast paco fell upon his ear. The sounds grow louder, and ho heard tho horses pass over tho bridge at unslackoncd spoed. As the brewery is only 300 yards distant from the bridgo, tho foremost horseman camo into full viow immediaij.ly afterward?. It was Mr Flood, and he was, a!>out 30 yards in advance of Mr Smith. The former gentleman's horso was going at full gallop, and in turning the angle of tho road just oppostito Mr Sutton's r-.-sideiico tho unfortunate ridpr was thrown heavily to the ground, his head apparently receiving the full force of tho impact. Mr Suiter ran over to tho prostrate man and found him lying on his face. Ho turned him over on his back, and finding him to be unconscious loft the othor horsemen, who had now come up, to loosen his shirt-front, while lie himself went for some water. Tho application of this simplo restorative boing o£ na avail, Mr Flood was

carried to Dr, Cooir.'a residence at the corner of Park and Manukau Roads, where he was at once put to bod. Ho was still in- and waa bleeding from somo cuts about tho head. Dr. Coom was not in, but was telephoned for, as ;vas also Dr. Mac- Mullen. Theso gontlemon arrived within a short time of each other, about 8 p.m. Dr. MacMullon, who was preceded by Dr. Coom, says that he found tho patient un conscious, and that tho only apparent ex ternal injuries ware ono or two bruises on the forehead and a blackening of the right eyo. It was evident that ho was suffering from concussion of tlie brain, as well as from injury to the spine, and the gravest fears wero entertained regarding his ttato. The medical gentlemen agreed that no harm was likely to accrue from the re moval of tho wounded gentleman to his residonco in St. George's Bay Road, and accordingly ho was carried thither upon a litter at n late horn last night. Tho pationt Bank steadily, and ospiied qt-iotly this morning, nevor onco having regained con sciousness from tho time of the accident.

Mr Flood camo to Auckland over 20 years ago as Assistant Paymastor of H.M.S. Curacoa At this port ho obtained twelve months' leavo of absence, and at once accepted a position as accountant in tho Bank of Auckland, Ho bocamo intimate with the family of tho lato Mr James O'Neill (ono of tho Bank directors), and after a brief courtship married Mica O'Noill, taking up his residence in Grafton Road. As the time drew nigh for rejoining his vessel, ho pro ceeded to Sydney for that purpoeo, and while thore ho sent in his resigna tion. Returning to Auckland ho soon after wards entered into business ns a share broker and successfully carried on busi ness for a number of years. Eventually ho obtained appointment aa Secretary of tho Auckland Club, and hold it up till his death. Tho deceased gentleman leaves a widow and family of young children. An inquost iiito tho circumstances connected with tho death was commenced at tho Alexandra Hotol, Parnell, at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

ARRIVAL OF A CIRCUS.

Mr Gaylobd, whose name is a guarantee for the excellence of the combination arriving undor ids management, brought down by tho mail stoamor yestorday, a circus company which opens in Auckland Some dilllculty was raised by tho Inspector over tho landing of the horses, but this was overcomo by thoir being placed on tho coal hulk pending instructions from Wellington.

Upon boing searched at tho Police Station a peculiar assortment of articles was found upon him, amongst which was a moutl-organ, bridle and bit, pair of scissors, and a pipe.
