PARIS, June 10, 1869.
The grand Prix de Paris Q0O OOOf) came or at the
Bos de Boulogne last Sunday. Never had the event
fu races caused so great excitement. More than
1900 spectators collected in thick eager CROWDS
round the field, conveyed from all parts OF the capl
tai to the stations OF the Western the Centure ana
Auteuil lines. The sight through a telescope for
miles around has never yet been equalled In the an
mails OF the oldest turtle, and he dates up to 1882
The greatest question was, whether French
horse was to be beaten by an English
one and the result is that 1t was not The
French horse Glamour, owned by M. Lupin,
won by head; some said at first by little
less than nose of which the Emperor saw so little
that he sent for the great UMPIRE Comte Grefiahe;
to inquire which OF the two best, Glamour or Drum
mer, was winner. "Sire," answered the Comte,
"they could both have been covered by one pocket
handkerchief but Glamour is the winner" The re-
turn to Paris was OF the most tumultuous pete-
n6ie witnessed Not only the cries OF the elated
pOpulace cheered the owner OF Glamour, but they
cheered every mall every daumont led by four-in-
hand. Then there was the queen Of Holland to see,
and the Grand Duchess Marie Of Russia now located
at the Grand HOTEL with her daughter her doctor and
secretary The name Of the latter Is NJ Poggenpott,
which naturally adds to the curiosity natural to the
French; but there is nothing extraordinary about
him. There Is strange point, however, connected
with the hero Of the day. M. Lupin; he is bachelor.
His love OF horsenesh has preserved him thus far
from more refined, certainly, but no less ruinous
loves He was once tempted to marry, but that was
in the year 1885, when he first came forward as
club man with mare (Beida), and she failed. For
tunatey he did not follow the spur OF the moment
any more than Belida and again presented second

blessed singeness was confirmed by the success Of
Fiammetta; only between this date and 1853 kind
OF horse melancholy came over him and he threat
ened to give up his stud. All his friends expostu-
lated. OF course it was thing friends would do.
for NJ Lupin is the brother of widow OF peer OF
France; his father was formerly the owner OF the
Park Of St. Cloud and altogether his stables. cellars
and boxes about the provinces are nice places to- be
kept on with his trainers, Butler Turner and Neae,
until 1888, when more violent moral disaffection
appeared rreslstbe. His friends again represented
that Glamour would surely win this year; that an
affection was hopeless, but disaiecton most profit

and his state improved In fact horsehesh has
taken such hold on his soul that now, when he

inseparables tell him he could not do more or less

male and female private life IN Paris. and the
fashions have to be horsey will here mention that
the first race on record IN France took place in 1870,
when the Comte d'ArtOs matched one OF his horses
against another belonging to the Marquis de Con-
