PARIS 11ACES---Orr. 17.
The first of the Autumn meetings took place today In
the Champ de Mars. The 'weather was beautifully fine,
sod the stands were crowded to excess. There was a con-
siderable gathering of carriages and horsemen within the
ropes, and the vast arena outside was lined with spectators
of the middle and lacier eltsses—though, perhaps, on the I
whole, the crowd was not quite so large as might have been
expected frau the multitude of strangers at present in
town. The members of the Jockey Club, and other
noblemen and gentlemen interested in the turf, attended
in great numbers. The tribune of the Prince President
was unoccupied ; but the Minister of State, the Prefect of
the Seine, and several other eminent official dignitaries,
were present.
The day's business, which was unusually brief, was as
follows:
