SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT PARIS.
On Wednesday last a cpecial sale for thorough-bred
horses took place at M. Cheri's well-conducted establish-
ment. Twenty-ono wore comprised in the catalogue, and
of these twenty were brought to the hammer, including
11 from M. Verry's stud, and three from the Fridclin con-
federacy, by the consent of the Eastern planer, who could
not well object to part with a broken-down quondam
crack, a cobby throe year old, with scarcely action
enough for a hack ; and a two year old very much re-
sembling a billygoat —in fact, it appears curious how
such a bred one as Miss Cath, by Gladiator out of
Geologie's dam, could have rroduced such animals as
the last mentioned two, and more particularly tho
young one, who can boast of Touchstone blood through his
sire, the handsome Tournament. M. Verry's lot wore by
no mean's the pick of his stud, and he was rather fortunate
in getting four, who wore given credentials in the cata-
logue as likely to make steeplechasers, into the very best
hands for coining the raw material into something useful
for Vincennes and La Marche. The first of these was
Roi Barbu, a very useful-looking, short-backed four year
old, the bidders for him being Count Lauriston (for the
Oscar confederates), and Charles Gougeon (for Baron de
Herisem's), and we were surprised to find Charles give in
so soon, for this gentleman was dirt cheap in anything
under a " century," and there is something about his cut
to make us fancy that he will do credit to Cassidy as a
jumper. La Bella Helene, a very varmint-looking
mare, went instead of him into Baron Herissom's
stable for a figure below her 'value; and by the style
Baron Fillet bid up for Portia we expect the lucky Baron
saw something of the Astrolablo speculation in the ven-
ture, and the judgment was probably not bad, for the clever
Mr. E. Brayley, who was present, remarked that there
was something very business-like about Portia, although
rather light in her timber. The following is a return list
of the sale :
