LA MARCHE STEEPECHASES.
The third day of these chases took place on Sunday last,
and although the weather was bitterly cold the attendance
was quite an average one, including the Duke of Hamilton
and several who had been at Croydon steeplechases the
day previous. The first race, the Prix du Printemps, warn
fixed for half-past two, 11. runners appearing at the post
and Count d'Evry's Silly, about whom 7 and 8 to 1 could
be obtained, won in a canter, the favourites, Ironsides and
Tim Meagles, nowhere. The Selling Race produced a capi-
tal race between the three placed, and the winner, Scavola,
was claimed by Count d'E vry, and goes into Spinks's stable
at Chantilly. The Prix de Montretout ',gentlemen riders)
was won by a complete outsider, Caprice,who was scarcely
backed for a shilling, winning in a canter, and Count
d'Evry's pair finished second and third. The ground was
heavy going. Particulars of the races will be found be-
