PARIS June 10. 1859.
The great race Of the year that announced in my
last to come or on the 9th instant is over. French
horse that even Its owner would not back was the
winner The weather was magnificent, rather hot
for Paris elghty-two degrees Fahrenheit at
three O'Clock In the afternoon. The drive
to the race course in the Bols de Boulogne
through the Champs Elysees, the Avenue de rIm-
perarice and the Bos at this season Of the year s
indescribably beautiful and OF the great attrac
tions of the day. The grand stands, too, were
crowded with the fashion Of Paris. The imperial
tribune, in the centre, gllttered with the presence
OF royalty. Besides the Emperor who looked won
derfuly well. and the Empress, who seemed very
gay, there was the Queen Of Holland, the Grand
Duchess Marie of Russia, the Princess Matilde ana
their respective suites, all splendidiy attired Be-
tween the races vast crowds gathered In front Of
the tribune, as near as was allowed, and contem
plated with great curiosity this galaxy OF
royal stars. Their comments were endless and
amusing. "The Emperor grows no older"
said one. s'The Empress Is the best looking
among them," remarked another. "That one, at
all events, seems In good condition." exclaimed q
third referring to the Princess Matilde, who has
grown very stout like her brother, Prince Napoleon
The mass Of gorgeous equipages and exquisite toilets
1t Is idle TO describe yet 1t Is one OF the great fea
cof rna IN Roia
Paris that the roads are kept well watered and the
dust can do no damage to either.
The event Of the day was the race between English
and French horses for the Grand Prlx. Some twelve
horses started. The distance, one mile and seven
furlongs The time three minutes and twenty seconds
II was generally supposed that the English horse
Drummer would WIN, but the English world here
discovered the horse was not In good condition and
they bet cautiously. For the brief period OF the
the silence OF the thousands present was remark
able, when suddenly the cry arose Of Glamour, and
cheer cheer filed the air as the French horse few
by the judges stand and won the race. Drummer,
the English champion, was only head behind and
had fall which doubtless lost hum the victory. Tho
owner OF Glamour, one or the oldest breeders IN
France, as he mounted the tribune TO receive the
congratulations Of the Emperor was overwhelmed
with brayos To say nothing Of the glory he pockets
4l 900 lrancs over SIS 0oo gold we say, besides
the imperial gift OF splendid silver vase richly en-
bossed. This great race established In 1858, ana
since then three English aud three French horses
have won, but this year the French are one ahead.
Can't we get up an American horse to run next year
made up his mind, ike Tommy Dodd "to go In and
WIN, II he can only nd horse likely to accomplish
the feat. He is as much on the Qut Ufue for horse
Us was Richard ILL. on Bosworth field.
1t Is time now to turn round and contemplate the
great political race run here on Monday, out which
viii not be witnessed again for six years. At the
last trial. two weeks ago, several OF the candidates
made fase start as 1t were, and had TO try 1t again.
tnIs time with better success as lar as Thiers and
Jules Fayre are concerned. 1t seems droll enough
that these conspicuous men should have been out
voted only fortnight ago and now come in at the
head OF the poll. THIS looks as the Parislans were

them TO abandon the demagogoes first sustained and
brought them back TO politicians OF shining abilities
and great prestige. The truth Of the matter Is SIM
ply thIs-that In the interval the political CHEFS and
Journalists OF Paris changed their tactics and decided
previously chaperoned ana elect Thiers and Jules
favre. They concluded these brilliant and expe-
ton in the new Assembly than such vruent rinters
as R0chef0rt and Raspail Ihey saw that public
men to the position Of awgyers and that they had
only strengthened Napoleon instead OF the contrary
They changed their game and nd, Their .. N, men which
has formidable antagonists TO contend with.
Out Of the sixty men elected on Monday the govern
ment has secured thirty members and the opposi-
ton twenty.eght.. In two or three Instances the
same candidates have been elected for different
places and new elections must ensue. Let US 20
little into statistics on this occasion The whole
number Of votes poled for the new Assembly were

This shows majority OF 1900 900 IN favor OF Napo-
eon-a considerable heavier majority than Grant re-
ceived In the United States granting the difference
In the VOTE Further out OF the 6,5o0,0o0 for the
government, 900 20 1t bind for the Emperor,
while the other million have elected candidates IN
favor Of the dynasty but Independent questions OF
policy The 250o000 given TO the opposition may be

nasty 100000 for q republic, and the remaining
fraction (only 163000 for revolution These figures
know are exact and the opposition admit them.
Therefore am surprised that the London TtD,es OF
yesterday states that nearly 3,5O0 900 had voted
against the government and only 1000 900 for 1t.
Ths Is downright misrepresentation Of facts, and
Of the orlsanst family living IN England This Is no
reason, however why It should deceive Its readers.
Let II stick 70 facts, as the HERALD always does,
There u beyond o doubt o considerable addition

to many French people. The Emperor IL considered
