TURF NEWS FRO3I FRANCE.

Au important sale of horses will take place at Paris next
Wednesday, comprising ten from Major Fridolin's stud.
Gontran is in the list, together with the brood mares
Baroness (the dam of Brick) and La Vapeur. Both these
mares are by The Baron, and well bred also on the dam's
side, Baroness being out of Dorado, by Royal Oak, and
Vapour is out of Wedlock, by Sultan ; so that a rare op-
portunity is offered to breeders who are anxious to possess
mares by the Baron.
The Imperial Hares has purchased the three stallions,
Pedagogue, Scamandre, and Golgos, of M. Verry fur
25,0001. (1,000 soya); and Plutus has also been purchased
by the Commissioners from Major Fridoliu's stud.
John Davis has arrived at li. Lamplugh's stable to com-
mence his education for steeplechasing.
The best judges at Chantilly are of opinion that M.
Reiset's yearlings aro the best looking that have been
brought into town this season, particularly u colt called
Pandour, by Monarque out of Malice (Taucrede's dam),
whilst Villers Robert, a bay colt, by Monarque out of
Ravieres (Arnbassadeur's dam), and He:nani, a brown colt
by The Nabob out of La Toucque's dam, are also remark-
ably good-looking.

standing second with 247,000 f. The champion winning
nag is Fervacques at figures under 6,000 sovs.; and Mo-
narque maintains his pride of place amongst the stallions
We shall, as usual, publish full particulars of these statis-
tics in the course of the month.
