FRENCH RACES AND STEEPLECHASES
IN 1858.

It appears from an official report just drawn up
hat the total amount of stakes and entries won,

in horse races and steeplechases in France, in the
course of the present year was 1,114,976 f. 50c.
Of that sum Baron Niviere, with 13 horses, won

154,012 f. 50e., consisting of 39 events ; Count de
Lagrange, also with 13 horses, 148,6001., of 17
events ; M. Lupin, '7 horses, 72.483 f., 14 events;
M. Fasquel, 6 horses, 61,925. ; 16 events ; Count
de Prado, 1 horse, 61,4501., 4 events ; M. de Sevin
(in the south), 4 horses, 61,105 f., 16 events ; Mine.
Latache de Fay, 9 horses, 56,1001, 10 events ; Count
de Rcederer, 3 horses, 51,585 f., 9 events ; MM. de
la Motte, de Monnecove,and their associates, 6 horses,
32,230 f., 10 events ' • Baron de Nexon, 3 horses,
34,262 f., 11 events; M. Delamarre, 5 horses, 31,470 f.,
11 events; Baron E. Daru, 2 horses, 28,325 f., 4 events;
M. Du Garman (south), 3 horses, 25,449 f., 9 events;
M. Manby, 2 horses, 24,4251., 6 events ; M. A.
Fould, 4 horses, 23,312 E, 14 events ; Count de
Morny, 5 horses, 21,250 f., 7 events ; Vicomte A.
Talon, 5 horses, 17,600 f., 7 events ; M. de Silveira,
3 horses, 17,150 f., 9 events ; Vte. Lauriston, 2
horses, 16,200 f., 4 events ' • M. Barbey (director of
the depot at Angers), 1 horse, 16,290 f., 3 events ;
Count des Cars, 2 horses, 16,285 f„ 7 events ; M.
C. Leclercq, 2 horses, 15,467 E, 7 ' events ; M.
Schickler, 2 horses, 16,200 f., 4 events ' • Vicomtes
de Chemille and Montreuil, 4 horses, 15,200 f., 10
events ; and Mr. Merry, M. de Ventoaux, M. de
Terves, M. Mosselmanu, Baron Finot, Baron de
Rothschild, Mr. Carter, Duke de Caderouse Gra-
mont, and several others, won from 5,010 f. to
13,750 f each. It will be seen that Baron Niviere's
stud, notwithstanding the serious competition it
had to encounter, won not only the largest
amount of money but the greatest number of
events. Count de Lagrange, who last ys2ar ob-
tained such brilliant success would not have ar-
rived at the seeond position if he had not won the
Derby of 63,000 f. M. Lupin won one-half less
this year than he did last, owing, no doubt, to his
horse Potocki, from which great things were ex-
pected, having broken down. The success of M.
Fasquel will be noticed with pleasure, that gen-
tleman having for many years kept a racing esta-
blishment, • though winning scarcely anything.
Count de Prado's large winnings with one single
horse form a sufficient compensation for the loss
he sustained on his debut on the turf, by the
famous Aquila, for which he gave 45,0001., hav-
ing died without once winning. Mme. Latache de
Fay did not unfortunately obtain her usual success.
The stable of MM. de la Motte and others did not
do so well as had been hoped, owing to the great
steeplechase horse Franc Picard having in handi-
caps had heavier weights imposed than he could
accept. The horse which won the greatest number
of events was M. de Sevin's Sylvain.:--the number
being 9 ; that which won the largest sumwas Count
de Lagrangels Ventre St. Grisovinner of the Derby.
Baron Niviere's Miss Cath won five Imperial Stakes
and the Great Imperial Stakes ; Mme. Latache de
Fay's Furens was the winner of the St. Leger at
Moulins ; M. de Sevin'sLord Spleen, of the Southern
Derby at Bordeaux ; Count de Prado, of the Em-
peror's and the Produce Stakes at the Bois de Bou-
logne ; and Count Reederer's Brocoli, of the Trial
Stakes at the same place.

THE SON. MAJOR Jz YELVERTON.—We are autho-

in London for the Egyptian Loan; but the amount wanted

AN INFERNAL MACHINE AT THE SHERIFFS'
COUILT.—For the purpose of warming the Sheriffs' Court,
an infernal machine, in which coke is burnt, hrs. been
erected. By some unaccountable process it is always hot
and cold at the wrong times, and the furnace emits an at-
mosphere that is perfectly suffocating. If it is requisi' eto
make experiments, surely a pudic court is not the place.
