LA MAUCHE STEEPLECHASES.

The weather yesterday having been magnificent, a very
large gathering of spectators of all classes assembled—not-
withstanding the counter-attraction of the review—to wit-
ness the second day's steeplechases at La Marche ; and the
attendance of sporting characters was much greater than on
the preceding Sunday; the betting also was brisker. The
business on the card comprised three events, and two of
them excited extraordinary interest. The first of the three
was the Great Annual Handicap of 6,000 fr., in which
some of the very best horses in France figured, and amongst
them Franc Picard, the most renowned of all, Kibworth
Lass, Orkousta, and Casse-Cou. It was not Franc
Picard, but one of his stable companions, Casse-Cou, who
won ; but from the manner in which Kibworth Lass ran,
she would probably have obtained the honour of winning
if she had carried a trifle less weight.

Great Annual Handicap of 6,000 f. for all horses, added to
500 f. entry, h ft; and 125 f. only if declared. The second
to receive double his entry, the third to save his entry.
Distance about 6,000 metres (31 miles). Any horso who
after the publication of the weights may win a steeple-
chase handicap of the value of 2,500 f. to carry Gibs extra.

Eight entries.
Baron de Monnecove's Casso-Cou, aged, 1281bs
(Lampleugh) 1
Mr. Manby's Kibworth Lass, aged, 1331b5.....(En0ch) 2
Vicomte A. Talon's Orkousta, aged) 1351bs (Stevens) 3
The following also ran :—Franc Picard, Young Magnet,
Battle, and Surprise.
Betting—Even agst Franc Picard and agst Casse-Cou,
4to 1 agst Kibworth Lass, 6to 1 agst Battle. Casse-Cou
got away first, Young Magnet second, Franc i'licarcl
At the first fence Franc-Fieard took the second
but on approaching thet plateau he fell into the third,
Surprise taking the second, Casse-Cou retaining the
first. At the dry ditch after the chateau, Casse-Cou and
Franc Picard were nearly togethor,'Surprise being next,
and Kibworth Lass next to her. No change took place to
the hill, and here Surprise fell off, whilst Kibworth Lass
went into waiting on the first two. In this order they con-
tinued to the brook, where Surprise and Battle fell, giving
their riders a good ducking. After the brook Casse-Cou
and Franc Picard remained in front, Orkousta taking the
next position, and Kibworth Lass dropping into the fourth.
They thus continued to the straight, anif there Franc
Picard showed in front, Casse - Cou next to him,
Orkousta and Kibworth Lass being well up. On
drawing near the stands Kibworth Lass took the first place,
but after a few strides Casse-Cou resumed it. On reaching
the garden for the second time Franc Picard was beaten;
and at the hill Kibworth Lass again strode to the front,
Casse-Cou becoming second, Orkousta following. They
continued in this order to the second fence in the straight,
when Casse-Cou rattled on, and after a fine race between
him and Kibworth Lass he won by a length and a half.
About three lengths between the second and third. The
pace throughout was good. Eight horses declared forfeit
in this event.
