A FRENCH SPORTSMAN.

Viscount Artus Talon, one of the most famous
and one of the most esteemed men on the French
turf, died at Lyons on Sunday of a cancer in the
stomach, from which he had been suffering for
some years. He was attacked by a violent crisis
while in the train from Paris on his way to Aix for
• his health. His wife, who was with him, finding
hire exceedingly ill, sent for his intimate friend, M.
Chevreau, the Prefect of the Rhone, who, with a
doctor, was almost immediately in attendance, but.
the viscount died two hours after his arrival at
Lyons. The news, at once telegraphed to Paris,
made the Jockey Club melancholy for the even-
ing. Viscount Artus Talon was the younger
brother of the Marquis Omer Talon, the represen-
tative of a family founded by an extremely eminent
judge of the last century. The young viscount, who
took to steeplechasing at a very early age, enlisted
as a private of cavalry when the Crimean war
broke out. He soon obtained a sub-lieutenant's
commission in the Bth Hussars. At Balaklava,
riding as he generally did his-own horse, he won a
cup which was disputed by several English officers.
At Baden-Baden, in 1866, on his horse Regalia, he
won the International Steeplechase. lie was wont
to say that on the turf he had beaten the English
and Germans. Those were his greatest triumphs,
for, although in France he had a large stud at
Maisons Laffitte, and rode as many as 300 steeple-
chases, he seldom won any race of importance.
Six feet high, with long thin legs, he was singu-
larly unfit for a jockey. He had the worst seat on
horseback of any man I ever saw who could ride
and I believe no man ever got so many falls.
To see him craning forward with his head between
his horses's ears, and floods of daylight be-
tween him and the saddle, it seemed miraculous
that he could stick on at all. Yet 1 believe he never
came off except when his horse fell, only he was so
badly balanced in the saddle that his horses were
addicted to falling. I remember five years ago see-
ing him get an awful purl at the Irish wall at V in-
cennes. He was carried off the ground insensible
by four sergens de vine, and most of the spectators
thought he was seriously injured, but, though
shaken, he rode another race half an hour after-
wards. His pluck was indomitable. While main-
taining his rank as a lieutenant in the army, he
scarcely ever joined his regiment after the Crimean
war, the Emperor having detached him for the ser-
vice of the Imperial haras. He constantly acted as
judge at steeplechases, bosh in Paris and the pro-
vinces. Speaking English almost like a native, and
liking English society, the Viscount had a large ac-
quaintance among English sportsmen. He was only
38 years of age.

The Daily Telegraph prize is this year designed
and manufactured by Benson, of Ludgate-hill, and con-
sists of a magnificent two-handled vase and cover, stand-
ing nearly 3 feet high, the body being chased with a rich
scroll pattern. On the one side is an exquisite bas relief
of Caesar crossing the Rubicon, very boldly conceived and
well carried out, while the reverse bears an appropriate
inscription, engraved in the very best style of the art.
INSULTING THE TROOPS.—The driver of a public
vehicle between Chatelet and Melun (Seine-et-Marne),
named Petit, has just been tried for using insulting lan-
guage towards a body of troops. As he was passing be-
fore the cavalry barracks in the latter town some squad-
rons of lancers were coming out, and, their lino stretching
quite across the road, Petit whipped up his horse and
endeavoured to pass across the open space left by two
companies. A lieutenant remonstrated with him, but the
other replied in an offensive manner, and called the troops
a " lot of paper soldiers." For this he was now sentenced
to 25f. fine.
