At once the bridge's lights brightened and the pulsing crimson beat ceased.

The beat ceased briefly at 72nd Street and resumed with growing intensity as we got rolling toward Times Square.

The engine's beat had ceased minutes before.

The beat of hooves had ceased.

But that beat will cease when it closes its doors in 2004 for an $80 million expansion and renovation expected to take two years.

They quickly disappeared down the trail, and the beat of hooves ceased soon after that.

The monontonous beat of the kettledrums ceased.

When the invader had drawn up in striking distance of us, the beat of the drums abruptly ceased and the long triple line halted.

The beat of die oars ceased.

It was a conscious effort of will and I had only just succeeded when the beat of the engines ceased altogether and I felt the ship dead under me.
