CHANTILLY AUTUMN 11IEETING.

The last day's running came off yesterday, and, consider-
ing that the card presented no feature of much interest, the
attendance was large. The business commenced with a
selling race, won by M. Voisin's Mlle. Duchesnois, who was
bought in by her owner rt. 4,003 Cr., being 3,000 fr. over the
price at which she could be claimed, As the stakes only
amounted to 2,300 fr., M. Voisin loses 700 fr. through his mare
winning. This was the more remarkable that he effected an
alm at similar transaction on Sunday last, when the same
horse won the Prix de la Cascade. The Prix des Reservoirs
and Prix des Tribunes each produced good fields, and both
fell to the lot of outsiders. In the former an unfortunate ac •
cident occurred to Arthur Watkins, who was riding the Duke
de Morny's Dinorah. On coming down the hill she fell,
and, rolling over, gave her jockey a severe blow on the neck
with her hoof. The Prix de la Foret, for two and three-
year-old horses, followed ; only one of the latter age started,
and having to give 32 pounds for a year, merely succeeded
in obtaining a third place. The day's running terminated
with the Prix de Consolation, which was looked upon as
a certainty for M. Schickler's Poudriere, against which the
shortest odds of 5 to 4 were Lid ; she, however, obtained
only second place, the winner being M. Lunel's Fantasia.
The following are details of the day's proceedings :

BOAT RACE AT PUTNEY.

A scullers' race, which excited no small amount of inte-
rest, was rowed yesterday from Putney to Hammersmith,
for £2O, and although the stake was comparatively small,
the very name of one of the competitors was sufficient
to draw together a vast concourse of spectators. The men
were William Lane, a waterman, of Westminster, who has
never figured in anything grand before, and Frederick Lett,
also a waterman, of Lambeth, but who has for a series of
years past been held as a fine sculler for his age, and has
won Doggett's Coat and Badge, Morris' Coat and Badge,
and money prizes to a great extent. Both the men are old
stagers at the business. Lane is fifty-two years of age,
and Lett is forty-six ; both are about lOst 121 b, and
stand sft 7in. The Volunteer, Captain Ayres, ac-
companied the race from Putney Aqueduct to Hammer-
smith-bridge with a good company, and she conveyed
Fred. Kelley, the referee; F. Stevenson, umpire for Lane ;
and G. Drewett for Lett. The ex-champion, H. Kelley,
and T. Pocock showed up Lane and Lett respectively, Lane
having trained at Kelley's and Lett at home. Lett won the
station, and after one false start and a lot of fiddling they
got off, Lott, upon whom the betting was 2 to 1 and 7 to 4,
making the rowing at so terrific a pace that he was clear in
a hundred yards, and at Simmonds'a two lengths ahead.
From here to the point Lane crept up, and rowing very
well and steadily was level at Craven. Lett did his utmost,
but he had now no more in him, and at the Crab Tree
things were reversed, and Lane led by more than a clear
length. Lett gave him no rest over the water, and was
over hini at the soap-works; but as each seemed to strain
every nerve and muscle, it was evident that they were too
near home for Lett to get up, and ho was beaten at Ham-
mersmith by only half a length.

The marriage of Baron Georges de Soubeyran,
member of the Legislative Body and Deputy-Governor of
the Credit Foncier of France, with Mlle. Marguerite de St.
Aulaire, was celebrated on Saturday in the Chapel of the
Legislative Body. The Archbishop of Paris officiated.
The Stanya declares that the Italian Ministry
intends to make the choice of Florence for the capital a
Cabinet question. The Ministers will not consont to the
proposal concerning Naples being taken into consideration.
