 dArenberg's (late M. P. Aumont's) Montargis (own 

 brother to the ill-starred Eevigny and himself of too 

 short a life), who won the Cambridgeshire of 2,270/. 

 (with forty to one against him) on October 21, 1871, 

 following in the footsteps of his ' compatriot ' Palestro 

 (who won the great handicap in 1861) and showing 

 a bright example which was to be followed by his 

 ' compatriots ' Peut-etre, Jongleur, and Plaisanterie, 

 who were to go and do likewise (and more also in the 

 case of Plaisanterie, winner of the Cesarewitch as well) 

 m ]874, 1877, and 1885. 



For M. Lefevre, in England, the year 1873 was as 

 the preceding year, and still more abundant ; for 

 though it was ' Mr. Merry's year ' (with Doncaster 

 and Marie Stuart) in one sense in England (as it cer- 

 tainly was ' M. Delamarre's year ' in France with 

 Boiard and Campeche), yet M. Lefevre stood first 

 among 'winning owners ' in England, with 25,913/. set 

 down to him as the amount he won in sheer stakes, 

 next to him coming Mr. Merry and Mr, Savile with 

 from a tliird to a half less money. This is not to be 

 wondered at when it appears that M. Lefevre had 

 rather more than fewer than a hundred animals entered
