PARIS SPRING RACES.—SUNDAY.
The second day of the Paris Spring Races was held this
day in the Bois de Boulogne, and was more numerously
attended than on the opening day last week ; in fact, all
Paris seemed to have turned out, and evidently all with one
object in view, that of heartily enjoying their day of plea-
sure after their own manner. The weather was intensely
hot, not a cloud in the sky to soften the glare, which made
the eyes of the spectators ache as they looked at the horses
canter past the stand, and the little shade afforded by the
few trees in the enclosure was eagerly taken possession of.
The racing on the whole was extremely good, but the main
feature of the afternoon was the extraordinary defeat of
Templier, which took every one quite by surprise. This
horse has never run in public before, and a great many
things were expected of him, but throughout the race he
never once appeared dangerous, and after three quarters
of a mile was hopelessly beaten, and finished absolutely
last. This nefeat must be exceedingly vexatious to his
new owner, M. Desvignes, who purchased the horse at the
late Duke de Morny's sale for the large sum of £1,520,
which has now turned out to be very considerably more
that his value, and M. Desvignes may well lament the
blind confidence he placed in the merits of the dark and
unknown Teinplier. Count de Lagrange appeared to be
in the highest of-spirits, a fact hardly to be wondered at
when he saw his favourite mare, Fille de l'Air, fresh and
well after her two races at Newmarket last week and
her journey over the water, making so little difficulty in
adding the Prix de l'lmperatrice (value £600) to her
owner's list of winning races ; the mare literally won in a
walk, and, as many remarked, could have carried the
animal that followed her and have won. Fortune seems
never tired of smiling upon the count, who certainly
possesses in Fille de l'Air one of the most extraordinary
mares that has appeared for some time upon the turf.
Next Sunday she is engaged in the Cup at Paris, a piece of
plate value £4OO, with £250 added, which, barring an acci-
dent, she cannot well lose. In the Prix de Longchamps
the favourite Le Bearnais, with 5 to 2 on him, was easily
defeated by Matamore, who ran very gamely; the favourite,
who had much the best of the race at the distance, when
called upon, tired to nothing. Ambassadeur placed a nice
stake to his owner's credit; this horse improves very much,
and his performance with Fontenoy, receiving 251 b weight,
is very creditable. After this race 15 to 1 was taken about
him for the Derby. The particulars of the day's racing
will be found below :

Prix d'Auteuil of £BO, for three-year-olds and upwards ;
three-year-olds, 7st 121 b ; four, 9st 101 b ; five and up-

passing the stand, Pot aux Roses took the lead, followed
by Poisson, d'Avril, Callipyge, and Oriflamme, and this order
was continued down the far side of the course. On coming
to the last turn, Pot aux Roses held a lead of a couple of
lengths, which he maintained to the end, and won in a
canter by three lengths ; Poisson d'Avril, who came at the
last, beating Callipyge for second place by half a length ;

won by a length, Lo Bearnais tiring to nothing at the
finish.

bassadeur and Templier, and in this order they passed the
stand. On going round the windmill turn, and opposite
the stand, Beatrix took the third place, the leading horse
being Fontenoy, followed by Ambassadeur, who, on coming
round the last turn, got up to Fontenoy, and, after an ex-
citing race home, won by a head ; two lengths between the
second and third, and a length between the third and
fourth. Templier was beaten half a mile from home, and
finished last of all.

the remaining Confederate armies may be safely estimated

40,000 men ; under General Forrest, irregular cavalry,
15,000 ; under General. Gordon Grainger and others, de-
fending the line from Meridian, Mississippi, to Augusta,
Georgia, 20,000 ; under General Gardner, at Mobile, 8,000;
under General Kirby Smith, in Texas, 30,000, which force
can be increased in case of invasion to 60,000; partisan
rangers, &c., 10,000 ; total, 153,000 men.

the sum required to be voted for this service for the
