BAcISG-THE DEFEAT o. FRENCH HORSES.
Amid the grave political preoccupauons Of the
hour every Partisan has still heart enough to
beaten by an English horse In the race for the
eleventh ''Grand Prize" The name OF the grace

stakes into his owners British pockets is Trent
and he belongs to Mr.. ". X. Marshall. a Lincoln

raised the animal very high in tue betting Tor the
French prize; yet, somehow the native horses
were all Of such a shaky sort, that Trent stood
second favorite al to the first fayorite being NJ
Ed Fouid's salrareile, who won this years French
Derby at Chantiy. As NJ. Victor Hugo might
say: between Trent and saltarelle there was
gull-the gull OF nationality. Frenchmen backed
saltareue-why because he was Frencn
And the English laid their guineas on Trent

Yet It was pink and black that drst flashed by,
swift and gloomy as lightning, and a freezing
silence attested the barbarian steed's victory Why

been certain 10 add that Trent represented
something besides fog; he had fatality on his side,
the fatality OF caoalistlc cypners. For Just remark
