AT A VESTRY held of the Parishioners 'of
SAINT BENNETT FINK, in the Vestry Room of the
United Parishes of Saint Peter le Peer and Saint Bennett Fink,
London, this 17th day of April, 1846.
Resolved unanimously-- That the Parishioners of Saint Bennett
Fink, in Vestry assembled, in conveying to Mr. John Banister their
cordial thanks for the very efficient manner in which he has dis-
charged the usual duties of Churchwarden during the past year,
desire at the same time to record their high sense of the energy and
ability with which he has conducted the several other onerous and
important matters which have specially devolved upon him during
his term of office. That his fellow parishioners feel under great
obligation to him for the firm and judicious manner in which he has
watched over the rights, and protected the interests, of the parish,
during the negotiations with the Corporation of London respecting
the demolition of the parish church. For his assiduity in procuring
suitable accommodation for the parishioners in the church of Saint
Peter le Poer, under circumstances requiring equal promptitude and
Independence For his delicate and kind attentions to the wishes of
surviving relatives, in the removals and reinterments from the
church. For the prudence and care by which he has prevented
expense, and kept down the parish rates and charges. And last,
(though not least), for his great urbanity and courtesy to all parties
on all occasions.

And while on all these accounts his fellow parishioners unite in
tendering to Mr Banister their most cordial and sincere thanks for
so zertous and efficient a discharge of such various and difficult
duties, they respectfully assure him that this testimony is alike in-
adequate to the full expression of their grateful esteem and the de-
gree of high estimation in which they he'd his services and merits.

Resolved unanimously, That this resolution be printed, and that
a copy be forwarded to every householder in the parish, and also
that the same be inserted in the usual Morning and Evening Papers.

whose constitution appeared so decayed that pins might be run into
her ankles without any pain ; her legs swelled to the size of a child's
body, and burst, and became ulcerated to a certain degree ; in other
respects she appeared like one in the last dropsy, yet was com-

THE GREAT FRENCH STEEPLE-
CHAS.
(Steward, Count de Vaublanc.)
This great sporting event, concerning which so much in-
terest has been excited kmi some time past both in England
and France, came otTyesterday, in the most brilliant manner.
With the single drawback, "that the sun disdained to shine,"
everything passed over in the most admirable style. The
concourse of spectators was such as we never before wit-
nessed at any race in France, and the long line of carriages
seemed of never-ending.,duration. The country round the
Croix-de-Berny, where the race took place, is exceedingly
picturesque; hill, wood, and dale, of the most varied cha-
racter, interspersed with fine villas, beautiful gardens, and
groups of cottages, start into view in every direction.
The villages of Sceaux, Fontenay-aux-Roses,
&c., are in the
neighbourhood, and on this occasion they poured out their
inhabitants with extraordinary profusion. Every road was
dark with the living masses moving to the centre of attrac-
tion. The arrangements at the scene of action were excel-
lently conceived ; stands of various degrees were erected fir
the spectators, and ample place was assigned for carriages
and horsemen. The ground where the race took place is a flat,
through which the Bievre runs. It is mostly grass land, and
is cut at the far end in two places by roads which the horses
had to cross. The starting point was a small meadow, right
in front of the little stream just mentioned. The winning-
post was placed precisely opposite the starting-point,
so that when the horses cleared the river, they turned
suddenly to the left, sailed along up the country, for about
two miles, and then, making a circuit, came back on the
ground they had before traversed, and raced home past the
spot they had started from, and leaving the point where
they cleared the stream cn their right. If any one, in fact,
were to unrivet a pair of scissors, and taking one of the
branches should bend the point to a right angle, the end thus
turned being the starting-point, he would have before him a
tolerable form of the course. When the horses turn suddenly
to the right after crossing the stream, they have to cross
several hedges, ditches, another piece of water, and two park
walls—in all, nineteen obstacles. Without any being of
extraordinary difficulty, there was plenty of work to try a
man's nerve, wit.' force a horse to show what was in him.
In consequence of the rain, the: ground was exceedingly
heavy, and some of the horses were greatly distressed at the
finish. The bell raug for weighing a little before two, but
in consequence of the number of horses, it was near three
before the preliminaries had concluded. About a quarter of
an hour was occupied with the preparatory gallops in front
of the stand, and the greatest anxiety was manifested to
view Pioneer, Culverthorpe, and The Roarer. The riders also
came in for their share of wonderment—Captain Peel,
Mason, M'Donough, and Oliver being particularly inquir,d
after. At this moment the crowd of sportsmen looking
anxiously on not only comprised all the gentlemen of the
Paris Jockey Club, but a g .eat number from England.
Amongst the latter we perceived Lord Exmouth, Lord Can-
terbury, Lard Cantalupe, Sir Massey Stanley, Mr. Ricardo,
&c. The Duke de Nemours was also present. The rain had
by this time ceased, and every preparation being completed,
the horses proceeded round by the bridge to take their place
for the start, Pioneer having declared to carry 41b. extra.
Handicap for 10,300 f., added to a sweepstakes of 500 E,

When the word was given to go, they all dashed together
at the brook, Which The Roarer went over first, Pioneer
second, and Culverthorpe third. All the rest cleared it well
also, except Cattonian, whose jockey fell. They all went
over the second leap, a made fence, with equal success, ex-
cept Cattonian, who refused, and whose chance was lost.
Little Tcmmy then went in front, and made strong running,
fbliowtd by Lancet. Discord refused the third leap, and
appeared no more in the race. No change of consequence
took place till they came to the road, where a sort of jumble
took place, all sliding gently down. Culverthorpe here
was obliged to hang back, Crcesus, who up to this point had
gone a forward horse, but who now appeared distressed, be-
ing right in his way. At last the Roarer, Lancet, Culver-
thorpe, Crcesus, Little Tommy, and Scavenger, got clear, the
other horses being a little behind. Scavenger refused at the
last fence, near the turning flag, and lost ground, but being
a speedy horse soon came up again to the others. After
getting into the run home, Little Tommy, the Roarer, and
Culverthorpe were the only horses that had a chance, and
as they neared the winning-post, the Roarer fell behind,
and the two others came along neck and neck. They
cleared the last fence nearly at the same moment, Culver-
thorpe being, perhaps, a second in advance, and then set to
for the finish. Little Tommy was, however, outpaced, and
Culverthorpe won by about a length and a half. Loud
cheering greeted Captain Peel as he walked the winner back
to the weighing stand; and it must be acknowledged that
he merited the applause, as he rode admirably throughout.
The second horse too was capitally jockeyed, and when it is
borne in mind that Mr. Vevers is a man of sixty-five years
Rfigsmittnyt2neig;lmtirott Alfl7o7;luktlitligilidtl
exceedingly quick race, the time being two or three seconds
over eleven minutes. We have given the, first five or six
horses as we saw them come in, the rest arriving at intervals
afterwards. The value of the stakes ii a trifle over 20,000 f.

After the excitement occasioned by this crack affair had a
little su isided, the bell rang fur saddling for the second race,
with gentlemen riders. It was a very different affair from
the other, though not without interest also

Purse of 1,200 f. added to 2501. entries, half forfeit. The
winner to be claimed for 5,000 f., weight, 1501 b. ; horses
valued by the owners at 1,500 f. to carry 1251 b. ; at 2,500 f.,
1331 b. ; and 4,000 f. 1541 b. Distance about 4,000 metres (2%
miles). Gentlemen riders.
Mr. Rowles's br m The Witch, 1831 b (W. Power) 1
M. de Bouexic's b h Chandos, 1501 b (Owner) 2
Captain Best's b h Revealer, 1251 b (Owner) 0
This race is easily described. The distance was shorter
than in the preceding event, but excepting that the horses
did not go so far from home, the ground was the same. They
again started in the meadow in front of the judge's stand,
and Chandos in front, the Witch well up, and the old horse
Repealer (18 years, we understand) behind. Chandos bungled
at the third or fourth leap, and lamed himself. The Witch
then went on, and Repealer not being able to compete with
her in speed was obliged to give in. The Witch went quietly
over the ground, and won as she pleased.
The arrangements during the day reflect the greatest credit
on Count de Vaublanc, the steward. Everything was in
perfect order, and from beginning to end he discharged his
arduous duties in a most able manner. The sporting men
were loud in their praise of his conduct, and a subscription
dinner is, we understand, shortly to be given to him as a
mark of respect. The return home of the vast crowd to Paris
reminded us of an Epsom or Ascot day, and we have not
heard of any accident having occurred to mar the pleasure of
the day's proceedings.
