Eainbow), M. Fould's Saltarelle (four years, winner of 

 the Prix du Cadran), M. P. Aiimont's Figaro IP (four 

 years, winner of the Prix Gladiateur), and among the 

 two-year-olds M. H. Delamarre's Marmot, M. de la 

 Charme's Volage IP, Count de Juigne's Jonquille, 

 winners of the three principal ' Criteriums,' and M. 

 Staub's (Haras de Ponray's) Pe Drole, winner of the 

 Prix de Deux Ans at Deauville. 



Evidently, then, in France it was M. A. Pupin's year 

 with his Salvator, Saint-Cyr, and Almanza — all three, 

 be it remarked, boasting for their sire that excellent 

 horse Dollar, son of The Flying Dutchman. 



Of the Grand Prix, won by Salvator, it should be 

 observed that the result was a triumph for the French, 

 as Camballo (winner of the Two Thousand) and Clare- 

 mont (second for the Derby) made up with Seymour

 of them obtained a place. Had Galopin been there it 

 might have been different ; but, for one or other of the 

 usual reasons (want of nomination or something else), 

 he could not or did not run. And then, en revanche, 

 Salvator was amiss and could not run for the Doncaster 

 St. Peger, for which Galopin was not entered. And so 

 it happened, as it so often happens, that Salvator and 

 Galopin, the two best horses of their year, never ' tried 

 conclusions ; ' and the Doncaster St. Peger fell to the 

 very inferior Craig Millar. Howbeit Salvator did not 

 start favourite for the international race ; that post was 

 occupied by the excellent little horse Nougat, belonging 

 to the Pagrange-Pefevre ' fusion ; ' and yet Nougat had 

 but run a dead heat in the French Derby with Saint- 

 Cyr for second place behind Salvator. 



Of the French ' cracks ' mentioned there ran in 

 England Saint-Cyr (unplaced for the St. Peger), Per-
