ever witnessed. The English horses IN ,de
no inglorious exhibition, and performed
sufficiently well TO sustain their high repu-

encounter was marked by n casually, which
occurred last year for The Goodwood Stakes.

been intrusted to men as experienced aud
accomplished in their profession as English
jockeys. Indeed, in Turf phraseology, Pri-
Dress looked all over the winner at the dis.
tance. The French people presen, were
not alittle g'a,itied by the success of Mon

with them to France is trophy worthy OF
possession. Although the Cup was the
