were alone in the race, the pace made by Le Bearnais hav-
ing made the running too hot fcr the rest, who came in
widely scattered over the course, at a respectable distance
is the rear. Edwards, who rode the winner, on returning
to scale, got a severe reprimand for causing the false starts,
and was menaced with suspension should he repeat the
offence. Le Bearnais had just arrived from England, hav-
ing run second at Newmarket on Thursday in the Trien-
nial Produce Stakes. The Prix Imperial followed, and
proved a match between Nobility and Filibustier; the
former was favourite, two to one, and ran first
throughout, winning in a canter. The Omnium
was the next event on the card, thirteen of the
sixty-eight originally engaged presenting themselves at the
post. Eva, Heurlys, and Banniere engrossed almost the
whole of the betting—two, four, and five being laid against
them respectively. The race was looked upon almost as a
certainty for Eva, who was considered to be too lightly
handicapped at 921 b, as she had beaten Gentilhomme as a
two-year-old. The favourite was, however, nowhere
throughout the race, and came in last but one, the winner
being the Duke de Morny's Perle, against whom almost
any odds under 40 to 1 might have been obtained. Perle
had this year won the Express at Fontainebleau and the
Prix de la Societe at Blois, but without boating any-
thing of value—she had, however, recently met with
an accident, and was supposed to be a doubtful starter,
The business terminated with a three year-old
race—,the Prix Principal—which was won by the
Duke de Morny's Bayard. who was backed at evens
against a field of three, one of the starters being M.
Lunel's Affidavit, who ran second in the French Derby,
and, it was thought, might have beaten Bois-Roussel had
he been more judiciously,ridden. This was the third event
carried off by the Drake de Morny during the day.
It was mentioned on the course that Enoch, the steeple-
chase jockey, who had a bad fall at the Brussels races a
few days back, had died in the hospital of that city.
