PARIS RACES.

3 3

The Spring Meeting has been satisfactory, with few excep-
tions. Yesterday (Sunday) the company at the Champs de
Mars was numerous, though the morning was lowering and
dull. The Royal Princes honoured the course with their pre-
sence, and the different pavilions were graced by numbers of
most beautiful women. The handicap for 2,500 fr., 300 fr. en-
trance (half forfeit), for French thorough-breds, once round
(beats), was won by the Comte de Cambis's ch. c. Ahasuerus,
three yrs, carrying 881bs. and 6lbs. above weight, ridden by
Pavis ; both heats were run in 2 minutes 28 seconds, beating
Lord H. Seymour's b. h. Icare, and M. Lupin's b. f. Norma,
who bolted twice. Ahasuerus and Icare ran head to head to
the distance ; the horse looked well and was much admired.
He made all the running the greater part of the way. The
ch. c. passed him about half a distance from home, and won by
two lengths. The judgment displayed by
,the handicapper,
whoever he may be, was good. We do not remember an in-
stance in Paris where any person ever proved such ability in
fixing the weights, so as to bring them so close together.
The second race was a match for 2,000 fr., once round, be-
tween M. Auguste Lupin's b. c. Laocoon, and Lord Henry
Seymour's b. c. Royal George, 'who bolted by the bridge of
Jena, threw his rider, and fell on him. However, we have
much pleasure in stating that no bones are broken, as was at
first reported, but a severe contusion in the left shoulder. M.
Lugin's colt cantered in, and claimed.
The third race was for the Orleans prize of 3,000 fr., 300 fr.
entrance ; twice round ; which was won by Lord H. Se) moues
b. m. Elisondo, 5 years old, beating (Flatman) the Prince of
Moscow's b. m. Zitella, 6 years old, and his b. in. Lady Al-
bert, 5 years old. Clarion was entered, but did not start.
This race almost excited as much interest as the first. Lady
Albert went off at score, and did all the work for the first mile
and a half, when Flatman let loose, and completely beat her;
Zitella was behind in the distance. The two former appeared
to the eye very fit.
Chantilly races commence on the 12th of the present month.
The nominations will appear in the course cf the week. We
understand there will be no pigeon-shooting during the races
at Chantilly, as was first announced; tic private betting-stand
not being allowed to go there the amusern:nt is renounced.
We regret to announce the death of M'r. Paul Sannegon,
member of the Jockey Club. Never was there A better dis-
posed man, always ready to do a good office, and, whit is rare
in these days, he was never heard to speak an ill-natured word
of any one. He will long be remembered and regretted by a
numerous class of friends and acquaintances.
