LATEST SPdRTING INTELLIGENCE

THE GRAND PRIZE OF PARIS.
TO THS ROMS or THE SIMS&

Elia,—France may tot be able to bout a aledie-
tear, or even a Vermont, mom her throe-year-
olds of 1866 ; still she is fairly represented in
the grand international contest coming off to-
morrow, with Suzerain, Behnke, and Bogue Homa
pitted against our Earl, Vale Royal, and Blutikin. At
the last moment another or two may discover themselves
on the French side—perhaps a ecooml string from Jen-
nings's atable—and it is not improbable 11. Delatre will
start Sedan to assist Bogue Boma, though with Watkins on
the latter it can scarcely be doubted which is the bast. Sat-
&maple, once backed for the English Derby, can have no
chance, or ho would not hare gone for 4001. at the recent
sale of horses belonging to the "father of the French
turf." Musk°, who will be ridden by Count F. de
Lagrange's jockey J. 0 rimiliaw, is a sort of Aoglo•Freneb•
EMU, hard on tiro other side the Channel and brought up at
Newmarket, so that each country will claim him if he prove
victorious. This, however. is rather a remoter ennui,
gency, allowing for his having been " backward •' when
