THE GREAT FRENCH STEEPLE-
CHASE.
(Steward, Count de Vaublanc.)
This great sporting event, concerning which so much in•
terest has been excited for some time past both in England

and France, came off yesterday, 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 cut 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 fr
the spectators, and ample place was assigned for carriages
and horsemen. The ground where the race took place is a fiat,
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, and 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 rang 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 inquired
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, Lewd 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 fur 10,300 f., added to a sweepstakes of 500 f.,
half forfeit; and 125 f. only if declared to the Secretary of
the Paris Jockey Club, before 11 o'clock at night on March
20. The second horse to receive 1,250 f. from the entries,
and the third to receive back his stake. Distance 6,400
metres (about four English miles). 42 subs.

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 Tommy then went in front, and made strong running,
followed 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
ter 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
of age, it must be allowed that his nerve and determination
are something altogether out of the common run. It was an
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 r • t arriving at intervals
afterwards. The value of the stales A trifle over 211,0001.
After the excitement occasioned -13- This crack affair had a
little su isided, the bell rang for saddli;* 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 250 f. 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 bll 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 Vaublauc, 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.

suitable accommodation for the parishioners in the church of Saint
Peter le Poer, under circumstances requiring equal promptitude and

General officer in the army as to the following facts :—" A person
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-
