GOSSIP OF THE TURF. A special from New Orleans to the Enquirer of yesterday says: "Pat Cleburne, the gray gelding in the stable of Moss Jacobson, died at the track this morning. Tb.e horse, after winning one day a couple ef werkssgo, was tubbed in ice by a stable hand, and Mose had to have a couple of veterinaries with him all night to save him. He apparently had fully recovered from his sickness at that time, but suffered a relapse early this morring, which resulted in his death. J. J. McCafferty today bought from O. G. Parke for J. W. Colt the horses Trebor and Bill Jackman. Mr. McCafferty will run them here for a few weeks and then ehip them with Chancery to their owner at Genet ee Valley. Mr. Colt has bought the trio with the intention of racing them over the jumps." . MarcuB Daly has been very ill all the fall and has been confined to his hotel in New York for many viefks under the care of medical specialists. Absolute rest from tho tremendous business iespontibilities that this brusque miner millionaire has been carrying has been insisted upon by these doctors, and Mr. Daly has finally decided to take their advice, a course rendered more easy by the fact that he has recently disposed of a portion of his vaBt mining interests to an English syndicate. He proposes, therefore, to find his recreation this season in racing his horses about the tracks around New York. At one time he bnd proposed to go to England and try conclusions with the horses there, bat this project has now been abandoned.
