STEEPLECHASES AT LA. MARCHE.

Although
.the Weather was, very unfavourable„ the
first.of the Spring Steeplechase at La Marche, near Ville
d'Avray, which came off on Sunday, attracted: a. -very -
considerable number of all classes of societyr and espe-
cially of ,the higher. The gathering' of ,carriagee and
horsemen, indeed, was, . on, the whole,- much: larger than
we remember to have seen-it.on any occasion last 7684.
From this; it is reasonable to assume that oteeple,chasing
is gradually gaining ground :in ' France, and mill soon
become, as ;horse-racing now: is, , 'one of the national
amusements. 'Mr. Macken*GrieVes not only laid out
the ground; but kindly superiutended thed.ay's proceed.-
ings, and acted as judge. - • . . ,
The Emperor and Empreal arrived in a carriage and
four, preceded by outriders, just- as the business 'was
about to commence and remained to the close. Their
Majesties were. acoeinpackiecl.by._ Prince Murat: and one.
Of Els sons,:iailhisome of the pfficeraiana ladies of the
imperial household.. -They were greeted on arriving and
leaving with every mark 'of reapebt.' Their Majesties

'Nftil observed the .DUkOof ID:Milton and other personages
of distinction. • - •

The number of obstacles was 34 ; and jamOngst them.
Were the dry ditch, the river, the garden Wall, the bank,
&c., which figured on previous oocasionsi together with
English hedges, railings, &c., either quite new or plaCed
iri different positions. The starting-pl4e, which last-
year,was-frOrn_the -garden wall opposite the stands, was
this time from the wall near the entrance, hi h afforded
.

a nearly straight piece of running up to the stands. A.
notice wig given before the bell rang for the weighing
that the Emperor had been withdrawn. The betting
was 3 to 1 on the Colonel. ' The start was a
good one, and all kept in a cluster to near the dry
ditch; when the Colonel took the lead with, Franc
Picard just behind. In this way they came 'to the
river; which ' the Colonel cleared admirably.l Franc
Picard got over it second, and Lady Arthur third.
Peter Siniple fell after crossing it, and hurt his jockey.
so nancli in the head that 'he was unable to proceed ;
the jockey; of Augustine also fell, but soon recovered
from this mishap. The others got over safely. Mean-
time the-Colonel:went forward, with Franc Picard wait-
ing on hira ; but just before reaching the garden wall the
litter got in front. After passing the wall, however, he
toidk a wideturn,- and-this enabled the Colonel toreguine-
the lead, whist View Halloo 'Who had been, gradually
'ga,ininggrOund, took the second place, Bedford retain-
ing the third. lAt the bank at the back lanthe fell ; a
little' ferther Glenlyon -crierjumped himself, but soon
recovered ; and near the garden the jockey of Augustine
was thrown. The position of those in front remained
unchanged. Although only about half the distance was
now done, the'race, barring accident, might be consi-
dered virtually at an end—the Colonel taking a long
lead, View Halloo going a good deal in advance of Bed-
ford, and Bedford of the others. In that way the race
concluded, the Colonel coming in in a trot. He was
enthusiastically cheered on arriving at the-winning post.
SECOND STEEPLECHASE for 1,000 f.; added to 100 f. entry,
for horses of all-kinds not having won a steeplechase,
and not having been trained from the Ist January to

The obstacles in this race were nine in number, and
the-priticipal of them were the ditch, the river, and the
-gatcterl-witll.—Pandolfo jumped , off first, ,but before
reaching the stands was Passed by Safety. She, how'.
-ever, elightly hesitated at the brook, and after crossing
it, Fiction got"a little •a

tion-Went ferWaid, and kept .in front to a fence in the.
