STANFOIW NUM beards/its

Racing in France has of late years become quite a fashion-
able pursuit among the rising generation, whose great
ambition is to see their names on a race card as owners of
a horse. In the case of M. A. Lupin, whose hams is now
described, it is vastly different, as be takes a real interest in
his hams and stud, and has spared no expense to obtain
the best breeding stock in the market. For many years he
has been the owner of a large stud of racehorses, and has
always •proved himself a valuable ally in the cause of good
government on the Turf. M. Lupin Las occupied
the hams
do Vaucresson, near Versailles, for the last 21 years, and has
been very successful, as will be seen from the returns of the
horses bred there and trained by him, and is the only French-
man who can boast of having two Good wood Cups on his side-
board, viz., those respectively won by Jouvence and Dollar.
In 1853, the first was won by Jouvence carrying sst 91b
(at that time French-bred horses were allowed 141 b and
81b for not having won in England). This was the first
French-bred horse that had won a large race in England,
and the owner netted about X 4,000 on it, Jouvence starting
at 10 to 1 agst her. The following are some of the princi-
pal horses bred at this haras and trained by M. Lupin. The
first horse of any note was Fiametta, who won the Poulo
d'Essai in 1841, and from that tune to 1818 nothing re-
markable came out, although M. Lupin won his first Prix
de Diane (or Oaks) with Suavita, in 1815. In 1818 ho won
the Poule d'Essai and Derby with Gatdoettii this horse also
won several other races. In 1850 ho won the Poule d'Essai
and Derby with St. Germain, by Atilla. In the sue •eeding
year iit also won the Derby with Amalfi. In 1853 he won
the Prix de Diane.and Derby with Jouvence, who also won
besides the Goodwood Cup the same year, the Surrey
and Middlesex Handicap and Queen's Plate at Egham ;
at five years old this mare ran nine times in France and
won eight, being in foal the last year when she won.
In 1857 ho won the Derby with Potocki, and the same
year carried off the Poule d'Essai with Florin. His horse
was then a groat favourite for the Derby, but unfortunately
fell soon after starting, and gave Kitchener, his jockey, a
bad fall, but, notwithstanding this contretemps, the stable
had the good luck to win the race with Potocki. In 1858
the first meeting was held at Baden-Baden, where La
Maladetta carried off the Grand Prix for M. Lupin, the
start for which forms the subject of the oil-painting so well
known to Continental sportsmen. In 1863 Dollar, then
three years old, won the Prix de l'Empereur of 1,012 sovs
(one mile and a quarter) at Paris Spring; was second in
the French Derby to La Toucques (16 horses ran); won
the Prix Principal of 417 sovs at Versailles ; was second
to La Toucques in the Grand Prix at Baden, beating Stra-
della (two miles and a quarter); at Paris Autumn won a
Prix Principal of 160 soya ; in 1864 he won the Northamp-
tonshire Stakes of 1,205 sovs, with fist 91b, beating 17
horses ; won the Grand Prix do l'lmpemtrice of GOO sovs
at Paris April ; won the Prix de l'Empereur of 460 sovs at
Paris June; won the Goodwood Cup with 9st (two miles
and a half); won the Brighton Cup (two miles), giving
Little Stag 291 b; ran second to Vermont in the Grand
Prix at Baden, giving him 201 b for the year, and File de
l'Air was third, receiving 171 b for the year from Dollar.
The hams de Vaucresson is situated about three miles
and a half from the historical town of Versailles, the road
from thence being partly through the forest, and hilly.
Tho extent of tho ground occupied by this establishment
is about 80 acres of good grass land, which is subdivided
into several paddocks, and is surrounded by a high stone
wall on one side, and a plantation on the other. Imme-
diately on entering the gates on the right-hand side is a
small cottage occupied by Fanor, the stud groom; he is a
Frenchman, and has lived seven years withM. Lupin; the
stock under his charge are all lookinghoalthy and well, and
their appearance, particularly that of the stallions, reflects
great credit on him. Owing to the small space at Vaucresson
many of the brood mares and the stallions aro at present lo-
cated at Viroflay, where M. Lupin has hired the stables and
about 15 acres of ground for their accommodation. This
ground was formerly occupied as a hams by the late Duke of
Moray, And the duchess still retains the pleasure-ground
and a portion of the paddocks, in one of which I saw a
favourite old mare, called Quiz (27 years old), the dam of
Quaker. At a short distance from this ground is a small
chateau which is used as a summer residence occasionally
by the Duchess of Morny and her family. ViroLly is a
station on the Paris and Versailles lino of railway, and is
barely three miles from Vaucresson; and about three-
quarters of an hour by rail from Paris, and the hams is
situated close to the station.
THE STALLIONS.

Stentor, by Do Clare—Songstress, by Irish Birdcatcher,
her dam, Cyprian, by Partisan (bred by M. Lupin, at the
haras de Vaucresson, in 1860), is a bright bay, standing
over 16h. 2in., with a good head and neck, capital
shoulders, good back and loins. His arms are long and
muscular, also good quarters and thighs, and hocks free
from blemish. He is, in fact, a very powerful thorough-
bred horse, with much quality. Stentor only ran once, and
won the Poule d'Essai in 1863 in a canter. He then be-
came a great favourite for the Derby, and his owner had a
very high opinion of his chance for that race, even with
Dollar, but he unfortunately met with an accident in train-
ing before the Derby, which prevented his ever starting
again. His breeding is unexceptionable, being descended
from Touchstone through his sire, and from Irish Bad
catcher and Partisan on the dam's side ; and De Clare is by
Touchstone—Miss Bowe by Caton. Ho had 11 mares
last year, all of which aro in foal, and will be located the
ensuing season at the haras de Virally at 4 sovs each mare.
Dollar, by the Flying Dutchman, out of Payment by
Slane, her dam Receipt by Rowton (bred by M. Lupin, is
1860, at Vaucresson), is a dark, bay, without white, stand-
ing about Ibh. 3in. ; ho has a particularly good head and
neck well set on ; well placed shoulders, rare back and
loins, and powerful quarters ; and may be termed a very
true shaped short-legged horse. Dollar was let last season
to the Rawcliffe Stud Company for 600 sovs, and M. Lupin
could send three mares gratis, and Litnosina, Officious, and
Queen of the May were his selected, and all three are in
foal. Mr. Bowes also sent three, viz.—Forget-me-Not,
Go-ahead, and Old Orange Girl ; and Charity, Silver Hair,
Queen Bee, Black-eyed Susan, and Buckingham's dam
were among the lot which visited him. Ho will be located
at this haras for the ensuing season, and his services will
bo for the advantage of breeders at 21 sovs each mare and
20fr. to the groom ; Om good accommodation for mares
and foals. Fifteen or 16 mares, the property of his owner,
will be sent to him the ensuing season.
The following table will show the ago and pedigree of
the brood mares at this haras _ _ _

After perusing the pedigrees of the above 20 mare; it
will be seen that M. Lupin possesses some of the best
brood mares in England or France; many of aim well-
known celebrities of their day, and whose names are in-
separably associated with that of the veteran trainer, Mr.
John Scott, of Mahon. Among those are Songstress,
winner of the Oaks in 1852 (her darn, Cyprian, won the
Oaks in 1836), and Impdrieuse, winner of the One Thou-
sand Guineas at Newmarket, and Doncaster St. Leger in
1857. Songstress was both bred and trained at White-
wall, and has grown into a remarkably fine lengthy mare,
but her stock have not been fortunate, for, with the excep-
tion of Stentor,' who won the Poule d'Essai in 1863, she
has not produced such animals as might have been
expected from her good breeding and her form as a race-
horse. Imperieuse was also trained by John Scott, and
was bought by M. Lupin at the same time as Songstress;
the former is a lengthy, well-shaped mare, but on a
smaller scale, and her best produce has been Vaucresson
and Denali(); the former (by Warlock, winner of the
Doncaster St. Leger in 1856) has won several races and
steeplechases; and Deliane won the Prix de Diane at ,
Chantilly in a canter iu 1865, beating Lalla RooklA and

Mr. Richardson is now engaged in the Factory
department of Woolwich dockyard, with the Admi-
ralty petroleum boiler, which he has been permitted
to use until Tuesday next, in order to exhibit his
process of employing shale oil, creasote, &c., as fuel,
by carbonising and burning water gas, so as to eva-
porate with 11b. of oil from 161 b. to 201 b. of water.
The boiler is in full operation ten hours each day,
and many scientific persons are in daily attendance.
Her Majesty's screw gunvessel Speedwell, Com-
mander James E. Erskine (August 4, 1862), from
the West Coast of Africa, having been inspected at
the powder buoy off Woolwich Arsenal, by. Com-
modore Superintendent Edmonstone and Mr. Lory,
Naval Secretary, yesterday went into the outer
basin at the dockyard, and commenced dismantling,
in preparation for being paid out of commission, as
ordered, on Saturday, the 16th inst. She was fitted
for service at Woolwich, and commissioned in Sept„
1863, the whole of the officers having been since re-
moved with the exception of the Assist.-Paymaster
in charge, Edward S. M. Power, who has returned
with the ship to Woolwich.
The paddlewheel steam storevessel Dee, on par-
ticular service, Master-Commander George Ray-
mond, with stores from the Western yards, entered
the outer basin yesterday in Woolwich dockyard to
discharge her cargo and reload with steam gear ;
and the Megcera, Capt. Simpson, went down to
Woolwich, laden with naval provisions, &c., from
Deptford, to complete her cargo for Gibraltar and
Malta.

The Lord Clyde, 23, armoured screw frigate,
4,067 tons, 1,000 horsepower, Capt. Roderick Dew,
C. 8., arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from
Plymouth Sound, and on entering the anchorage
exchanged salutes with the Victory, the flagship of
the Port Admiral, Sir Thomas S. Pasley, K.C.B.
The Lord Clyde has arrived at Spithead, by Admi-
ralty order, to test her speed over the measured
mile in Stokes Bay, under similar conditions to
those observed with the Warrior, Minotaur, Belle-
rophon, and other ironclads previously tried there.
She will make her trial to-day if the weather permit.
The Cossack, 20, unarmoured screw corvette,
1,296 tons, 250 horse power, Capt. R. D. White,
arrived at Spithead yesterday morning on her return
to England from her term of foreign service iu the
Mediterranean, and on anchoring exchanged salutes
with the flagship of the Port Admiral. She has
brought home a few naval and military invalids and
supernumeraries. It is expected that she will pro-
ceed from Spithead to Sheerness to be dismantled
and paid out of commission.

The Pandora, 5, screw, gunvessel, 426 tons, 80
horse power, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning
from the West Coast of Africa, on the completion
of her term of foreign service. She is expected to
go into Portsmouth harbour to be dismantled and
paid out of commission.

The Charybdis, 17, unarmoured screw corvette,
1,506 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. A. M. L. Lyons,
left Spithead yesterday afternoon, under steam, on
the commencement of her voyage to her destined
station, the coast of Australia, but anchored for the
night in St. Helen's roads, owing to the stormy
weather.

The Terrible, 19, paddle frigate, Capt. John E.
Commerell, N.C., C. 8., under orders to sail
from Spithead for the Mediterranean, had steam up
at sunset last evening, and fired a gun, with theblue
peter hoisted, as a signal for sailing. Most
probable, however, she would not leave Spithead
until daylight this morning, a strong N. W. gale pre-
vailing.
The Vulcan, screw, iron troopship, in No. 4,Dock
at Portsmouth, has been sold out of the Royal Navy
for the sum of £5,000. The purchaser has made a
good bargain with the Admiralty, the machinery,
new boilers, and spare gear being alone worth the
money. The Admiralty, however, are pursuing a
policy of true economy in getting rid of useless
vessels at any price, the cost of keeping them on
the lists of the steam reserves and preserving their
hulls and maChinerybeing at a rate that soon equals
their real value.
The colonelcy of the 17th Regiment of Lancers
has become vacant by the death of General Sir
James Maxwell Wallace, K.H., at Northallerton,
on Sunday last, aged 82. He entered the army in
1805 as cornet. While serving at the Cape of
Good Hope, as captain of the 21st Light Dragoons,'
he was sent in command of a squadron of that regi-
ment into Caffraria with Brigadier-Gen. Graham's
expedition, which in seven months of severe work
drove the Caffres across the Great Fish River. He
also served in the campaign of 1815, and was pre-
sent in action at Quatre Bras, the retreat on the
17th of June, and the battle of Waterloo. The
late General's commissions bore date as follows :
Cornet, Aug. 14, 1805 ; Lieut., June 5,
1806 ;
Captain, Oct. 22, 1807 ; Major, Jan. 1, 1817 ;
