THE RACE POE THE PARIS PRISE.

(From Gangoanis Yews* er.)

The great event decided yesterday will long re-
main the most glorious page in the annals of the F reach
turf. Frame has nobly avenged her defeat of lut year,
and Blair Athol, the pride of English horses, the conqueror
of ecoquerers, he. to return home despoiled of hts Laurels.
Future years may produce • larger field of horses to um.
pate for the Great Paris Prise, but never will a more select
few meet to contend together ; so interuational race the
present one really wag, and wan intended to be,
and the frenzy of delight with which the victory was
greeted showed that a feeling of gratified patriotism
was mingled with the satisfaction of beating an
adversary is • sport in which the latter wee acknowledged
to used preeminent. Five hones only started, but of
these two had already gained the highest honours that it
given to the equine race to attain, while • third had accom-
plished the unique performance of carrying off the same
prize (the Oaks) in France and England in following weeks.
Theme, however, grates they may be, had all to succumb
to • tenter, sad M. Delamam's Vermont has proved
►is superiority in one of the fairest noes ever ran.
In giving the names of the probable darters we
mentioned that Vermont, who bad made but one
brief appearance in public, was repotted to be better than
his stable companion, Bois Roussel. That statement wag
hard to be believed, but rumour for otee has proved to be
right. No pretext can be alleged for the noes-winning of
either of the favourites. At a quarter of • mile from
home they were running almost abreast with Vermont,
and nothing prevented their passing him but their fusibility
to do so. At the stands whips wets called into requi-
sition for Blair Athol and Fills de l'Air, but without
avail, and Vermont strode on, gradually increasing,
without aid of lash or steel, the distance which *ope-
rated him from his two attendants, and winning with
out an effort by two clear lengths. The scene which
followed will sever be forgotten by thoes who +Aegean( it.
Shouts of Soy were raised by ►t least one hundred thousand
voices, and repeated over and over again. The whole mass
of spectators rushed forward to welcome the victor, sod it
was only with the utmost difficulty that an opening could
be made ter the horse* to return. Hata were taken off on
Vermont's purge, and even the Emperor, who was pre-
, sent, uncovered as the winner passed by the imperial Fe-
vilioo, on his way back to the paddock. lu the ring
babied the stand the excitement war eves greater
—bouquets were thrown from the gallery sad stair-
case of the stand on M. Delamarre ; acquaintances
shook hands with each other as a means of giving vest to
their delight, and • full quarter of an hour elapsed before
the last cheers were heard, and the emotion had some-
what subsided. M. Del•m•ers was sent for to the pavilion,
and received the ougratulations of the Emperor oa ►is
success. !edged we believe that no one was more gratified
at the result than his Majesty himself. The silver vase
given by the Emperor was then brought out and exhibited
to the public. The Empress wee also present, and the
whole of the stands were filial with • brilliant array el
ladies. hidlle. Isabelle appeared for the first time is her
aew costume of M. Delamarre's oolours, which is remarkably
handsome and tasteful. Vermont is by the Nabob and
Vermeille ; his only previous public performance was in
the Prix du Printemps at the Paris Sprig( Meeting, when he
cut down Soumise, Nalco, Bayard, and Civility is • most
pitiless manner, having run in front from first to last, with-
out being once overtaken.
