THE RACE AND THE RESULT.

The start was admirably effected, the horses getting
away at the first attempt. Ellington was first off, but was
immediately pulled back, and Merlin took up the run-
ning, with Squire Watt second, Warlock third, Roger-
thorpe fourth, Bonnie Scotland fifth, Ellington next, and
Artitlery last. As they breasted the bill in making to-
wards the far side of the course Rogerthorpe drew into
the second place, and on reaching the top of it way in
possession of a clear lead, Squire Watt going on second,
Merlin third, Warlock fourth, Bonnie Scotland fifth,
Victoria sixth, Ellington seventh, Clarissa colt eighth,
and Artillery last, a wide interval separating each.
In this order, "Indian file," they ran to the Red-'louse,
where Squire Watt was beaten, and he and the Clarissa
colt dropped into the rear. Artillery now began to draw
forward ; Rogerthorpe maintaining the lead, with Mer-
lin, Warlock:, and Bonnie Scotland next in pursuit. At
the bend Rogerthorpe gave way, and Merlin assumed
the lead, when he held to nearly the half distance, when
he dropped back and Warlock came out, with Bonnie
Scotland and Artillery second and third, in close pursuit.
Warlock, however, went in, and at last won by two
lengths • Artillery caught Bonnie Scotland just on the
spot, and made a dead heat with him for second place.
At about three lengths behind them was Rogerthorpe
fourth, Merlin and Victoria were fifth and sixth, close up
with Rogerthorpe ; Ellington, Clarissa colt, and Squire
Watt were pulled up, and passed the post together in
the order named.

THE ST. LEGER DAY.
Although speculation on the St. Leger was stopped by
the overweening confidence placed in Ellington, and al-
though the race in consequence excited little interest, yet
it is doubtful whether the streets of Doncaster ever be-
fore presented a more crowded and busyappeaarnce, and
certainly the muster on the course was quite as large as
that on any former anniversary of this great northern
event. The day was dull and cloudy, but the unpropiti-
one skiey influences were disregarded by the masses of
people—" some on pleasure, some on business bent,"
who went trooping towards the course. Special trains in
connection with the neighbouring towns and the manu-
facturing districts arrived in rapid succcession. The spe-
cial from King's-cross, by which people were conveyed
from London and back for 10s., proved an additional
inducement to many persons to see the Leger run for,
and was largely patronised.
The Municipal Stakes and the Corporation Plate pre-
ceded the St. Leger. The first-mentioned event occa-
sioned some spirited betting and an interesting race.
The Corporation Plate was deemed a certainty for
Jack Sheppard, who, however, got badly off, and could
get no nearer than fourth at the finish. An hour's inter-
val t )ok place between that race and the St. Leger, an
interval which was turned to the best account by the
bookmakers. Never,. perhaps, wits the latest betting on
the St. Leger so limited in extent and insignificant in
its operation. The partisans of Ellington evinced un-
wavering confidence to the let, and supported the horse
with increasing spirit unt.i. shout of " They're off"
stilled the tumult in the ring.
John Scott, who is popularly styled the " Wizard of
the North," has prepared a surprise for the ring. ledeed
he merely gave a repetition of his Newmarket achieve-
ment. In the spring, when Fly-by-Night was with-
drawn from the Two Thousand he was ready with Faz-
zoletto, and no "i that Fazzoletto, after enjoying conside-
rable popularity, was "knocked out" for the St. Leger
he found a winner in Warlock. The success of his stable
created a great sensation, and was hailed by Yorkshire-
men with loud and prolonged cheers. From our de-
scription of the race it will be seen that Ellington took
no prominent part in the encounter, and was not only
beaten, but disgraced. It is argued by many persons
that if Artillery had not been so far out of the ground he
would have won. The horse, however, evidently wanted
the "heart" to finish. The winner and his stable com-
panion Victoria were well .upported in the market by
persons who ever hold the Whitewall stable dangerous.

THE IMPERIAL COUNT IH THE

PYRENEES.

BAYONNE, SEPT. 14.
Prince Ada'herb and the Infanta his wife left for
Paris last evening. Their departure was accom-
panied by the same honours from the garrison and
the citadel as their arrival.

The departure of the Emperor and Empress for
Paris, and thence to Compiegne, is spoken of for
the 25th or 29th, but this will in a great measure
depend on the state of the weather. The fine
season, which has continued so long, begins to
show signs of a change, and some heavy showers
of rain, with a sudden freshness-in the temperature,
indicate the approach of a season less propitious
for the sojourners at Biarritz.
It has been frequently tried to introduce, and
even taermanently establish on the French soil the
great national sport of Spain, but as yet the at-
tempt has not been successful ; and wherever the
tauromaquia is practised by Frenchmen. exclusively
it has proved as unsuccessful an imitation as Pari-
sian barricade-building would be in Spain. French-
men surpass Spaniards and all other people in that
species of street architecture, as the citizens of
Madrid, Cadiz, and Seville beat everyone in the
science of the bull-ring. When Spaniards are not
the directors and principal actors in such displays
the corrida is merely the unscientific and stupid
butchery of a noble animal worthy of a better fate.
For some weeks past it was rumoured that a dis-
play of the kind would take place at St. Esprit,
which, though officially belonging to the depart-
ment of the Landes, is really a suburban division
of the town of Bayonne. For some reason or other
the sport had been put off, but for last Sunday a
bull-fight strictly in accordance with the Spanish
rule and fashion was announced, and the quiet
town was accordingly inundated by crowds of
strangers. The Basque country sent its popu-
lation, male and female ; from Cambo, Haspar-
ren, Itsatsou, Irun, Fontarabia, Andouins, To-
losa, and from Bordeaux, the Paris of the
south, came not less than 1,500 of its citizens
to witness the feats of the Spanish matador.
From an early hour in the morning the Adour
and the Nive were covered with boats of every size
and form, laden with passengers thronging to the
point of rendezvous. They were all, wever,
doomed to be disappointed. The sky was covered
with clouds in the early part of the day, and tor-
rents of rain began to fall just at the hour for which
the spectacle had been fixed. There was no help
for it, and the bull-fight was again put off, to the
great regret of all, but particularly of the crowds
that had come from Bordeaux that morning by
the train de plaisir. This day, •however, it took
place in spite of many misgivings as to the state of
the weather. Rain fell at intervals from 11. o'clock
till 2, but at that hour a brisk wind sprung up,
which dispersed the clouds, and the sun once more
appeared in a clear sky. A half-past two the gates
of the bull-ring were thrown open, and the anxi-
ous crowds who had for hours braved the incle-
mency of the weather, and who did not despair of
its clearing up, rushed in, and in a few minutes
every bench and box was full. Soon after the Em-
peror and Empress, accompanied by a numerous
suite, made their appearance. Their reception by
the multitude was all that could be desired. Out
of compliment to the Empress the national air of
Spain was struck up by the band of the 35th Regi-
ment as their Majesties entered, and soon after the
lively jota of arragon indicated that the bull-fighters
were ready. The ceremonial of the bull-ring of
Madrid when royalty honours the spectacle with
iis presence was observed on the present occasion.
The bull-fighters, arrayed in their richest costume,
advanced to the front of the Imperial boxsisent on
one knee, and the Alguazil asked for the gilt key,
which is supposed to open the den where 'the am
Dials are kept. It was thrown down to him by
the Empress. The Alguazil proceeded to the stall,
and the bull-fighters dispersed about the ring to
take their places in expectation of the bull. The
espada,"or leader of the troop, was the well-known
Manvel Egana. He is a man about 30 years of age;
his dark eyes, incessantly moving about, give a sin-
gular expression to his swarthy but not ill-favoured
countenance, and his thick eyebrows impart a ferocity
which, however, is mitigated by the tranquil and con-
fident smile on his lips. He is strongly built, broad-
shouldered, and of moderate stature. He wore a
rich green milk costume embroiders(' in silver. A
long yellow cloak hung on his left arm ; his right
hand was placed on his hip, and he waled.' about
foe some as mucia at me ease
as if he was in a wine shop in the L tvapies. His
companions, who were young and smart toreros,
were also gaily dressed. fhree French ecarteurs
from the Landes followed modestly in the roar of
the brilliant cuadrilla. The Spanish portion of the
assemblage, not accustomed to such an intrusion,
did not appear to make out why the ecarteurs were
placed in the bull-ring, and in fact they did look
rather out of place and awkward by the side of
their companions. In some towns of the south of
France similar sports are held and conducted after
a French fashion, and the reason why they were
mingled on this occasion was owing to the desire of
some persons to see the bull-fighters of both na-
tions exercise their art in company. To-day, how-
ever, the public disapproved such an innovation.
The Spanish toreros were the only champions to
whom attention was given ; and the Landais took
but a very small part in the proceedings.
The first bull that appeared on the arena was
what connoisseurs call of the abanta class—that is,
cunning, treacherous, and " hypocritical." The
crafty animal did not bound into the ring with
precipitation and fury. He crept out, as it were,
stealthily, and, when least expected, made a rush
at Aguirre, the torero of the blue cloak, who by a
slight but skilful movement evaded the dangerous
horns, but yet remained still, and allowed the dis-
appointed animal to rush blindly on until he per-
ceived that his enemy had disappeared. A cloud
of chulos then began to distract his attention.
They roused him to fury by shaking their cloaks in
his face, and the espada Egana, profiting by the
favourable opportunity, for whichl he had remained
quietly on the watch, advanced under his very
horns, and executed an admirable suerte a la Na-
varra. Banderillas, or darts, were planted in the
animal's neck with much dexterity by Aguirre and
Condoya ; and in less than half an hour Egana
killed his beast at one stroke, without causing him
to shed a drop of blood.
The second bull, though fiercer in aspect and
more impetuous in his movement, was in realtDr
less dangerous than the first. His mode of attack
was more open, more "frank," sooner understood
and better calculated by the fighters. On his first
rush from the den he went bounding round the
ring in great fury and leaped the• barriers, but he
soon got tired, and showed no great desire to fight.
Egana planted in his neck a couple of darts with
gunpowder at the points, and the heated weapons
soon produced their effecb ; his apathy disappeared,
and he was quickly roused to fury. He pawed the
earth, and made desperate but useless efforts to
fling off his torturing appendages. Barret lethalis
arundo. In a few minutes twa French bull-fighters
and two Spaniards were sprawling on the ground.
A fresh pair of fire banderillas were planted by
Baquez, and a third by Condoya. When the mo-
ment for despatching him came he was killed by
Egana at the second blow ; and the public were so
pleased that the carcase was given to him as a per-
quisite.
The story of the third bull did not much differ
from the preceding ones. But Egana was not so
fortunate in his contest with the fourth. When
taking his position to kill the animal he was thrown
to the ground and trampled on. His dress was
torn to pieces in a few moments by the bull's horns,
and, though his companions ran at once to his
assistance, they could not prevent him from being
severely hurt. Egana asked, and of course ob-
tained, permission to retire from the ring.
The fifth bull was killed, though unscientifically,
by Condoya, the second espada, who executed what
I believe billiard players would call a fluke. Iu
fact, the animal was lying dead at his feet before
his slayer was aware of it ; a stroke, unintention-
ally dealt between the horns, and which entered
the spinal marrow, killed the bull in an instant.
Condoya was applauded vehemently, but it would
appear by those who are not thoroughly acquainted
with the taurornaquia ; he contemplated the car-
case with no small astonishment at his own luck,
but naturally felt proud of his easy victory.
To the admirers of such a display the absence of

was pronounced to be very fair. The animals,
which bad been brought from Navarre, had, it was
said, lost much of their vigour by the delay and
the influence of the rain of last week, and were
therefore seen to a disadvantage.
As is usual in such cases the skill of the princi-
pal artistes in this sort of drama was freely discussed
by the learned among the spectators. It was ad-
mitted that Egana was a very good bull-fighter.
He has, however, little experience ; he is ignorant
of the finer tricks of his profession ; and of which
Cuchares, the celebrated espada, is so consummate
a master. It seems he plays the same suertes with
• every kind OT bull, and this-it is feared will some
