j PARIS SPRING MEETING, Mar 3.
ian immense assemblage of persons were on Sunday col-
acted together in the Champ de Mars long before the hour
-appointed for the first race. The show of ladies in their
gay spring attire was particularly remarkable, the stands
being fully occupied by the fair sex. The weather was de-
lightful, and the whole day s sport passed off most plea-
santry. Before the regular business was commenced a isri-
vate match took place between M. de Bouexic's Grey
Hercules, M. de Montecot's Poteen, and M. Lancosme
Breves' Roi des Bohemiens, ridden by the owners, for 4,000 f.
a-head eight times round the Champ de Mars. Contrary to
what was expected, this was a most interesting race, run at
an excellent pace (about 26 minutes for the ten miles), and
doubtful as to its result up to the last moment In the
seventh round M. de Montecot's horse, when leading, got
frightened at something, and swerving suddenly, came
down, throwing his rider heavily. Before M. de Montecot,
who was badly cut in the face, could again recover his seat,
Grey Hercules passed him. Notwithstanding that the blood
continued to flow front his7chiu- And cheek, he mounted, and
at last brought Potemclosrto Grey Hercules, and, at the
finish, was only a letlgth and a 'half behind. Had it not
been for the accident, the probability was that he must have
won. The Duke de Nemours was present throughout the
day's proceedings.

First-heat--r ' x Bonne-Chance went off tegether,
the others waiting. They remained so until the second
round, when Cavatine suddenly neared the two leading
horses, and all three ran together to the turn home, when
she gave them the go-by, and won with great ease.
Second heat—Bonne-Chance made running at a good
pace, closely followed by Error; Cavatine at before, waiting
behind. When going round the secondtime, and approaching
the Ecole, Cavatine all at-once passed her horses, and was
never' headed tal the end. She again won without the
slightest difficult?.

First Heat—Fosse, aux-Lions took the lead and kept it to
the end, winning by two lengths, Aveline being second.
Second Heat—The Duke's mare again made play, Donna
Sol lying second, and the others close behind. At the School,
Donna Sol passed the mare, and was followed at the turn
home by Aveline. A race took place for a moment between
these two, but Donna Sol was too speedy, and won easily by
three lengths. Fosse-aux-Lions was a bad third. Souvenir
merely saved her distance in both heats.
Third Heat—Souvenir took the lead and kept it to the
close, Donna Sol being about two lengths behind at the finish.
Fourth Heat—Considerable interest was excited by this,
the concluding heat, as each of the competitors had come in
once first. Fosse-aux-Lions made strong running, Donna
Sol lying second, and Souvenir a bad third. Coming up the
bridge, Souvenir suddenly passed the others, and was never
approached to the end, winning with great ease by four or
five lengths.

William jumped off with the lead, Myszka second, Ecoville
third, and Rigoletta last. As they went round by the bridge,
Meudon crept out of the ruck, and took third place, when
passing the Ecole. William shut up all at once, and the race
lay between Myszka and Meudon only. The boy, who rode
the colt, waited patiently until he was half way down the
straight
run home, and then made his push. Meudon re-
sponded vigorously, passed the mare with ease, and won
cleverly by a length and a half.
