before many years roll around Itisexceedngly TO
see man with his peculiar dead appearance OF the

is still more rare TO see man recover from THIS con-
diton.
After the imperial party had gained the stand pre-
pared for them the horses called for start In
The circle which to to be run there were IL OBJ
stacles to be leaped; stone-hedges, hurdles, dry
bitches and river l6 feet wide, ) feet deep, dug
square down. and lid at its edge BY shrubbery, that
the horses could not it till they arrived at the point
10 make the leap The course lay around an ordinary
farm, slightly undulating, with meadow, table-and,
nash and Tickets of bushes and forest trees, very
happily interpreted to make the chase approx
mate az possible yertable fox or deer-chase.
Flag erected at the different Gets to be eaped,
indicated the track to be pursued.
The horses were all English, but owned in France.
Their owners titled gentlemen, were to ride each his
own horse. The first was to be twice around the
track two miles and half eight horses started AT
tie river they all jumped nearly together, and all
escaped without accident exceptthe Count Taons fine
horse, Honey Dew who fell and broke hind leg, near
the stihe Joint. He aterward shot. The rider
ESCAPED without serious injury. AT garden fence,
another lorse fell and - done for;' two others
boted at the hurdles and only four came in on the
"home stretch"
For the scond race seven horses started, and three
came in running two had fallen and the others bolted
On the third race four horses started when the signal
was given, one horse bOted up the hill and was no
moIe seem another fell, and two came in the home
stretch at sweeping rate eaping the obstacles as if
there lad leen nothing in the way.
These races produce the greatest excitement
imaginable for, besides the usual interest taken in
horse race, there is added to it the expectation,
in fact, the almost certainty, that serious accident
Of some kind will happen. And what gives
still further interest is the fact that the
riders are generally the owners and not only titled
perons, but of respectability, of family and of
wealth, and engage in the chase more for excitement
than for money. Viewed from the stands these races
extremely picturesque 1t Is rare to zee the same
horse keep the lead for considerable distance on sc
count of tie nature Of the ground and the more or
less deraDcen ens which take place at the obstacles
At each obstacle there is q crowd gathered where
each cheers bis fayOrte horse Sometimes the horses
are lost for moment in cluster of trees, and then
again they scampering across level stetch of
meadow, with tremendous strides till they reach fence,
where perhaps rome fall and others bolt while the bet
teTp aimed horses leaplng with and precision all
the obstacles placed in their way, arrive at last at the
piece If level rousd where the trial of speed takes
place and which terminates ct She judges stand Here
The poor beast receives the LASH and tue money excite
Ueu runs up have seen more than one FRENCH
man men Of respecability of dignity and great pro
pety under other circumstances rush to the track
and Indifferent to the eers and cOnyulsye laughter Of
the less interested spectators jump up into the air
every time Lis iavOrite horse had to leap obstacle
let hin down again easy and safely, Gin his mOtonsD
laugh swear exhOr saw the air with his arms, and
finally, when his favOrite came sweeping past him in
the lead 90 into ecstacy OF abandoned delrum that
was refreshing TO LOOK at.
TTagical TOmances are common enough IN France
