the Castle Handicap of 230/. at Windsor), Eckmiihl

 desert Welter Plate of 90/. at Lichfield, and the Bir- 

 mingham Plate Handicap of 80/. at Sutton Park), and 

 Monseigneur (won the Manchester Tradesmen's Cup of 

 520/.) = 1,380/. 



7. M. P. Aumont's Graziella (won the Hinchingbrook 

 Stakes of 325/. at Huntingdon), and Miss Hervine (won 

 the Newcastle Handicap of 249/.) = 574/. 



8. M. L. Andre's Chevreuse (won the Norfolk and 

 Suffolk Handicap of 80/. at Great Yarmouth and the 

 Aintree Handicap Plate of 50/. at Liverpool) = 130/. 



9. M. A. Fould's Sylla (won the Cromwell Handicap 

 Plate of 100/. at Huntingdon and the Hawkstone 

 Welter of 185/. at Shrewsbury) = 285/. 



10. Baron A. Schickler's Acide Prussique (won a 

 plate of 45/. at Newmarket), Monsieur Le Prince (won 

 a plate of 100/. at Newmarket), and Premier Argonaut 

 (won a plate of 100/. at Epsom) = 245/. 



These were the chief of the French gentlemen whose 

 horses ran in England in 1871, and these were the 

 chief winners among their horses, the whole amount 

 accounted for being 13,286/. for ten owners and about 

 forty horses, won on the flat alone, so that the calculation 

 of 22,800/. for the 220 French horses that ran altogether 

 in England in 1871, whether in French or English 

 names, for French or English owners, is very likely 

 to be near the mark, as the remainder of the horses 

 that won would have been winners on a smaller scale. 

 Of course some of the horses named above did not 

 belong to their French owners all through the season, 

 or even at the beginning of the season; but the point 

 is that they were 'bred in France' and belonged at 

 some time previous to 1871 to tliose owners.
