THE EMPEROR will quit Vichy on the morning
of the sth, and arrive the same day at St. Cloud,
whence he will proceed on the Bth or 9th to the races of
Du Pin in Normandy. The day after the races the Empe-
ror will attentively examine the horses in the Imperial
stud at that place. The amusements are to conclude with a
steeplechase, which will give the Emperor an opportunity
of appreciating the improvement which has taken place in
half-bred horses under the direction of Gen. Fleury. Ano-
ther object of the Emperor's visit is to give the Norman
breeders a proof of the interest he takes in the improve-
ment of French horses. The breeding establishment at Du
Pin was founded by Louis XIV.
