easily carried off the prize from five opponents. The 

 Duke of Beaufort's always popular colours were suc- 

 cessful in 1 866 with Ceylon ; and the next year the 

 race was again kept in France, M. A. de Montgomery's 

 Fervacques winning after a dead heat with Patricien. 

 The Marquis of Hastings' colt, The Earl, an animal 

 who created more than one sensation during his turf

 and French horses was kept up, for Glaneur won for 

 M. Lupin in 1869. To France the race fell again in

 Marshall carried off the stake with Trent, in a 

 field of fourteen, the largest that had run up to that 

 date. It being then the turn of the French, M. Lupin

 Comte de Lagrange's St. Christophe being the horse, 

 and Prince Soltykoff's Thurio (1878) brought the 

 prize across the Channel, M. Blanc's Nubienne retain- 

 ino- it in 1879. It was once more the turn of the
