S VICDAY.

The Great Paris Prize, although looked upon as a fore-
gone conclusion, nevertheless engrossed the entire atten-
tion. Little business was done on the races which preceded
that event, and they passed almost unobserved. The at-
tendance was certainly the largest that ever assembled on
any race course on the continent, and long before the hour
for commencing not a place was to be had in any of the
stands, and the whole ground within the rails was one
thick mass of carriages and spectators. The Emperor and
Empress arrived before the third race, and received an en-
thusiastic welcome, the shouts of "Hurrah!" quite drown-
ing the perhaps more numerous but less hearty cries o
" Viva l'Empereur!" and showing how large was the Eng-
lish element in the throng. His Majesty looked remark-
ably well, although greatly browned by travel. The Em-f
press wore a handsome gold brocaded Algerian burnous,
apparently a souvenir of the Emperor's excursion.
So much has been recently written of Gladiateur that we
have little to say of the present race. For the last quarter
of a mile the result was never for a moment in doubt.
Vertugadin followed up his success of the previous day by
coming in second, to the surprise of everyone, and beating
both Gontran and Tourmalet.

Gladiateur is a powerfully built but far from handsome
horse. lie is what is called "goose rumped," the backbone
rising to a point behind the saddle and then drooping to
the tail, which greatly detracts from his beauty. He stands
high on his legs, has large shoulders, is deep in the girth,
and is especially remarkable for the immense thickness and
muscular appearance of his legs and forearms.
The work of art given by the Emperor is a silver shield,
the principal group of which represents a hunting party of
the time of Louis XV., the border being filled by animals
and attributes of the chase. The figures are in alto-relievo.

After two false starts the lot got well away together,
Mathilde and Lalla Roukh running to the front. The latter
was soon beaten, and went back to the rear, while Cler-
mont with Tancrede went forward and joined Mathilde.
Along the straight Clermont and Tancrede came away and
finished the race between them, the former winning by a
half length, and Le Bearnais coming in a bad third.

Tourmalet rushed to the front at starting, and in passing
the stands Todleben, Gontran, and Vertugadin were run-
ning abreastbehind, Count de Lagrange's two horses com-
ing last of all. At the windmill Vertugadin took the second
place, with Todleben third, and Gontran fourth, Tourmalet
still running with a lead of about three lengths. At the
plantation Todleben went to the rear, and on toppling the
hill Vertugadin moved forward and drew nearer to Tour-
mulct, and opposite Baron do Rothschild's chateau passed
and took the lead. At that moment, and until when about
to turn on the straight, Vertugadin and Tourmalet were
running about three lengths in advance of Gontran, an in-
terval of two lengths separating the last named from the
three others. Vertugadin now took a decided lead, and Gla-
diateur, moving forward, passed the other horses, and over-
took Vertugadin at the corner. The race was then really
finished, as Gladiateur, full of running, came clean away,
and ran in front up to the judge's chair, winning easily by
about four lengths. Vertugadin finished second, three
lengths before Tourmalet. Gontran fourth, a length be-
hind Tourmalet, Todleben and Le Mandarin coming in
last together. Value of the stakes 143,600 f., with a piece

Mlle. Isabelle, the Jockey Club bouquetiere, sported her
new costume of the French Derby winner's colours. The
dress consists of a blue body with skirt looped up over a
blue and white striped slip. Around the bottom of the
latter is a white border on which are embroidered horse-
shoe trimmings. Complete racing accessories of massive
silver aro also introduced with great ingenuity. A large
bit serves as an epaulette ; the body is studded with but-
tons of the shape of jockeys' caps ; stirrups hang from each
side of the waistband, the clasp of which is a saddle, and
a white feather in the hat is attached with a large horse-
shoe for a buckle.

ITEPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—Ties EVENING.
The LORD On.A.xcELLon took his scat on the woolsack
It five o'clock.

Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a bill forbidding rail-
way companies to confine passengers to the carriages by
locking the doors on both sides. It was proper, he
thought, that carriages should be locked on one side that
passengers might not improperly leave them.
After some short discussion, the bill was read a first
time.
