The fourth race was the gieat event OF
the day-the grand prize of 100, 900 francs.
There.were eleven competitors-M. Lupins
Salvador, Count de Lagrange's Mought, Mr.
Daviss Perplexe, M. Lupin's Almanac,
Pensacola and st. Cyr, M. Adre's lie Vein
ard Lord Aylesfords Claremont, Mr.
Veyner's Camballo, Mr.. Joseph Dawson's
Seymour, and MIR. Henry's Rabagas.
After some delay in starting the horses
got away. Pensacola taking the lead,
closely followed by LIE Veinard, Nougat
and Claremont. The others kept well
together, with Seymour, Rabagas and Der
plexe in the rear. On facing the stands
Almanac obtained the lead and kept it only
an instant, when she was Joined by RAJ
bagas and Camballo. Then IT seemed as
though the English would gain the prize,
but Nongat soon bounded past and kept
ahead until within fifty yards of the win
ming post, when Salvador drew away and
won the race by nearly a length. Nougat
was second and Perplexe third. When
the horses came round on the home stretch
the excitement was intense, the crowd
yelling as loud as its lungs would permit
the names of the horses who were neck
and neck. The English shouted Claremont
or Cambalo, and the French shrieked
Salvador or Nougat. After the horses had
passed the last signal post the crowd
broke into the track and like great wave
closed in upon the horses almost rs fast as
the animals were going, so that by the
time they arrived at the judges stand the
course was filled from side to side for dis
| lance of quarter of mile. And such
shouting when the figure in the indicator
| told that Salvador had won Nothing
| could be heard for three minutes but cries
of "Vlve Salvador" The French seemed
wild. When the horses were taken off the
track the cry broke out again. men putting
their hats on their canes, and, raising them
as high above their heads as they could,
whirled them round and round with the
greatest vehemence, at the same time
shouting the name of the French victor.
The crowd had begun to move away as
soon as the grand prize had been run, and
|
| close of the last race the vast assemblage
continued to move out from Longchamps.
Those who were fortunate enough to have
carriages of their own suffered little in
convenience; those who depended upon
''cabby" and the cars were not so fortu-
nate. For, if you had engaged cabman
to wait for you, ten chances to one you
might spend half an hour hunting him up
among the myriad carriages in waiting out
side the field. Those who relied on find
ing an unemployed couture were wofully
disappointed, for every cabman made no
bones of saying he was engaged unless he
thought by your appearance that you
would give him at least three times the
ordinary fare And so many walked home
rather than pay exorbtant demands. TO
those who had never seen the sight OF the
return from the races the spectacle was
well worth the walk. Beginning at the
| Notifications, both sides of the Avenue
DIES Bots de Boulogne, the Avenue DIES
Champs Eysees, the Rue Royale and the
boulevards down to the Place de rOpera
are lined with people watching the carriages
on their way back from the Bois Besides
this, large number of people go in carr-
ages nearly the whole distance just to see
those coming the other way. SO that while
two or three lines of vehicles are return
ing, another line or two is going in the
opposite direction, the ensemble forming a
moving panorama never seen outside of
Paris.
Salvador, the winning horse, is by Dollar
and Sanvagine, and was the only unbeaten
horse in the race, he having won two first
class races and the French Derby previous
to the grand prize. He is engaged to run
in the English st. Leger race, for which he
is already a favorite. Betting seemed
rather unfavorable TO him yesterday, hi'
stable companion, st. Cyr, being preferred
to him. Odds of four and five to one were
laid against him until the last moment.
AS is usual on grand prize nights, there
was revcl at Mabille. The gardens wert
crowded, nearly ten thousand people being
present, among whom Englishmen anC
Americans were plenty enough. Between
the intervals of frenzied qiadrllles cham
payne corks never ceased to fly, and by
midnight such quantity Of the exhilera
ting beverage had been imbibed that it wa
not surprising to see rich Englishmen
