Caractacus had a lead of two lengths, but was caught at

place on the inside. After rounding the bend for the
straight run in, the Wizard drew gradually forward on the

CHANTILLY RAC,-3s.

The first day's running came off yesterday, and, notwith-
standing the threatening aspect of the weather, in the morn-
ing, attracted a large number of spectators. The racing was
good, and presented considerable interest, three Derby
horses being brought together, two q. which, Stradella,

the surprise of every one. Straddle, however, redeemed
her reputation in the deciding heat by winning easily.
The dead heat occurred in the Prix d 4 Diane (the French
Oaks), which was the principal event I the day. For that
race, out of 31 entries, only six horsescame to the post, it
being looked upon as a certainty for thefavourite. Souvenir
was the winner of the handicap. The kollowing is a sum.

At the last turning the three were well together, and a good
race along the straight occurred, Benjamin winning by a
neck, with the same distance between the second and third.
An approaching event which has just been announced,
and which will exercise considerable influence on racing in
France, formed the principal topic of conversation on the
course. We refer to the breaking up of the (Lulled stable of
Baron Niviere and Count de Lagrange, and of the probable
retirement of the two noble proprietors from the turf. That
immense establishment, comprising nearly 200 horses, is
now in the market, the price demanded being 800,000 f.
Should no purchaser be found, the whole, it is said, will be
brought to the hammer before the end of the year. Such a
dispersion is, however, greatly to be regretted ; for, what-
ever objections sporting men may make to the league
between two such powerful competitors, and the estab-
lishment of a sort of monopoly, not only have these
gentlemen rendered great services to the popularisation
not easily filled up. Another event has also just
transpired, and excites great interest in racing circles
—viz., the establishment of a grand prize, to be run for
every year at the Paris Spring Meeting, and which may,
not improbably, rival the English Derby in importance,
being, it is believed, the largest racing stake in the world.
The prize will consist of 100,000 f, given, half by the city of
Paris and half by the united railway companies, and a work
of art presented by the Emperor, added to a pool made up
of I,ooof entries, and GOO forfeit, for 3-yr-olds of all nations.
The course will be a flat one of 2,400 metres. The entries
for 1863 are to be made up on Ist July next, and on the Ist
of August for the following year.
