LA MARCHE STEEPLECHASES-MA=it 4.

The second La Marche spring meeting took place on
Sunday last. The weather was again remarkably fine and
the attendance unusually large. The opening event, the
Prix de Franc Picard, was the principal race, and Magenta
was made a great favourite, 5 to 4 being taken, but ho never
showed very formidable in the race, and R. M. D., my se-
lection of last week, won very easily. This was succeeded
by the Prix des Marnes handicap, which brought out six
runners, and Niger, my second selection, won very easily
by two lengths. The concluding event, the Prix do
l'Avenir, for horses which had never won a steeplechase
value GO so'rs, brought out a field of twelve, and Milton
and Vaucresson were both backed at 2 to 1, and after a fine
race Milton was declared the winner by a head, being again
ridden by Cassidy, who rode two winners this day. An
objection was made by the rider of the second horse against
the jockey of Milton, for having crossed him, but the
judge's decision was not changed. The trotting mare
Bayadere ran in this last race, but seemed quite unfitted
for jumping or galloping. The ground was in very good
going order. Particulars of the racing will be found below,

tinued in front the second time round and over the brook,
