PARIS RACES.
FIRST DAY. - APRIL 24.

The fineness of the weather yesterday attracted a vast as-
setnblage of persons to witness the Spring Meeting in the
Champ de-Mars. We never saw so many carriages on the
ground, and the whole circuit round the ropes was crowded
..with spectators many lines deep. From one o'clock to three
the quays and other avenues to the course were crowded with
carriages, horsemen, and foot-passengers, all anxious to wit-
ness the sport, particularly the hurdle race, which appeared to
be the grand object of attraction. The hurdles, however,
would be thought strange matters in England, as they were
little snore than three feet and a half in height. At a quarter
before two, when the first race was ran, the show of fashion in
the carriages within the circuit and in the pavilions surpassed
anything seen in former years.
