THE FRENCH DERBY.

CHANTILLY RAM.
(Fran Galignani.)

Perhaps sines horse-racing hse existed in France
there never was a more beilliurt Derby-day than that of
tei ). The gathering of members of the
JTeeisckeydnuTtrother
sporting characters WWI extraor.dn-
arily large ; the stands and reserved before them were
crowded, chiefly with ladies in • toilettes : the greater
part of the name was thickly lined with the pedestrian
spectators ; and within the ropes there were numerous
%sadder el different kinds, from the dashing equipage with
four homes sod poetillion; down to the mean omni-
bus. The immense majority of the spectators were Pa-
risians, but as the Northern Railway ran numerous express
trains to and fro, all were conveyed with little delay. The
weather, though the ally was overcast, was favourable.
Prince Napoleon and Count de Horny were present.
The field for the Derby was a very good one indeed, not
fever than seventies horses out of twisty entered having
been taken to the post. Baron N. Rothschild's Guidave, who
tea ressivkably well in the Paris Meeting, was the first
favourite ; but. as not unfre_quently happeus in Prance, he
disappointed expectation. Re was never an a good position
throughout the race, and at the end was not seen placed.
He was ridden by Wells, the well-known jockey. who was
brought over ampressly from England. The winner was
Mme. Wachs &Fay's Beauvais, who figured in the betting
as second favourite. The second was M. Verry's Gouver-
neur, but so little was he esteemed that no beta were
laid about him ; and the third, Count F. de Lagrange 's
Pierrefonds, was the fourth in the betting. The
se ceees of Beauvais was greeted with enthusiastic applause.
It was only gained by • short head. The pace was not
Sand a sad accident occurred in the race—M. Fasquel's
uuefer in going up the hill broke his leg. The amount
• the owner of the winner will have to receive for
stakes, entries, sad forfeits will be, after deducting the
entry paid and the sum to go to the second berth, not leas
than 52,8001 r. The betting about the event was very con-
, aiderakde, and it is maid that the people eennected with the
stables at Chantilly will chiefly gas by the SUCCOS4 of
Beauvais.
