THE FIELD 
Tiie Shooting Season in France. — Tuesday being the 
opening of the shooting season for the department of the 
Seine, a large quantity of game was brought to the Paris 
market on Wednesday morning. At first, partridges fetched 
VOf. a dozen, then (JOf., and then 5 Of., whilst quails were sold 
at 30f., 25f., and 20f. But such an avalanche of game 
arrived that prices fell — the partridges to 35f. and 30f., and 
the quails to 15f. and 12f. About twelve o’clock partridges 
were ubout 2f. a piece, and quails If. 
Singular Case ok Instinct in a Horse. — We do not 
remember ever to have hoard of a more remavkableexhibition 
of equine intelligence than was communicated to us a few 
days since by Mr. Allen of this place. The circumstances, as 
they were narrated to us, are as follows : — Mr. Allen lmd for a 
considerable time a span of sprightly little horses that ho had 
never separated. In the stable, in the field, and in harness, 
they have always been together. This has caused a strong 
attachment to grow up between them. A few days ago lie 
went out with them to Lake Minnetooka on a fishing excur- 
sion. Taking them out of the carriage, he led them to tlio 
lako and tied them, several rods apart, on a strip of gross that 
grew upon the shore, and left them to feed. Returning to the 
shantee. he threw himself upon the floor, to await the return 
of the party who had repaired to the lako to fish. Not much 
time had elapsed before the sound of approaching horses’ feet 
attracted his attention, and a moment after one of his horses 
appeared at the door. The animal put his head iu, and giving 
one neigh, returned at a slow gallop, yot under evident excite 
meat, to the spot where but a few moments before ho and his 
companion had been sooiniugly wifely fastened. Surprised 
to find his horse loose, and struck with his singular conduct 
Mr. Allen immediately followed, and found tho other 
lying in the water, entangled in tho rope, and struggling to 
keep his head from being submerged. While Mr. Allen pro- 
c >udcd to disengage the unfortunate horse, liia noble bene- 
factor stood by, manifesting the utmost solicitude and sym- 
^Tijptli^, ayd, when his mate wo t extricated from his situation, 
J * *aVrl jt; Jn/Ujf foot upon terra Jirmn, thegenerous creature 
' ' Ae rnost unquestionable signs of satisfaction and 
\itelligent animal should have noticed tlic 
of his mate — that he should know where 
and * u ®ff° r b* should sunder a three- 
'ffiiT Jntmi rope, and finally that he should exhibit 
irtjjOTvWltion of the event, are curious circumstances 
_ r _ ^ i u r tfotLiuCnd themselves to the thoughtful considera- 
"•r i Uuiy of Tfi < who would limit tho power of reasoning to the 
tWiio,” — St. Anthony's Express. 
the Derby, defeated in one or two handicaps with no crushing 
weight on his back, the Knight, amid a large field of oppo- 
nents — though craven, it must be admitted, were many of 
them — makes good his claim to the great stake at Doncaster 
by ahead. Ivan was second, whom Acrobat beat easily, at 
the same distance and weight, not three weeks back at York. 
Arthur Wellesley was third, whom this same Acrobat twice 
defeated without an effort. And, that nothing should bo want- 
ing to complete the effect, Scythian, who was behind even Baal- 
bee and Aribbas in tho North and South Biennial, was actually 
placed fourth. Tho favourites, steered by the most famous 
jockeys, followed in due succession. So astounding a Leger 
has rarely bcon witnessed. Wo entertained the conviction 
that tho Whitewall stable would Imvc furnished the victor. 
In it assuming too much to nay that, with different tactics, 
they might have done so ? But, in their desire to win with 
one horse, on whom their investments had been made, and, 
at tho same time, to prove that tho public judgment in 
favour of another was worthless, the prize has been allowed 
to slip through their fingers. Thousands would have 
rejoiced hod Lord Zetland's colours been borne in triumph 
t » tho goal, for Ivan’s running 1ms been game and true 
throughout. Boiardo was backed, the night before the race, 
at even against tho field ; and so large a muster of iucapabka 
must have been drawn together to contest the fortune of the 
day in contemptuous defiance of tho pretensions of tho crack. 
Tho easy victory of Orinoco in the Fitzwilliam Stakes, 
coupled with his achievement of to-day, may render 
him a likely competitor for Cambridgeshire honours. 
Tho success of Grapeshot for the Great Yorkshire 
Handicap was im unexpected stroke of luck for the 
fielders, and the first heavy blow of the week on the 
great northern stable. Considering tho weight ho carried, 
and the class of animals ho encountered, Grapeshot has by 
this feat proved himself a horse of more than average merit. 
Typee could not have been in her proper form, or she must 
have found h more distinguished place in the ruce. Lord 
Chesterfield's other filly, Fayaway, was equally unfortunate, 
being beaten easily by Mosquito in the Filly Stakes. Mr. 
Saxon was convinced of his mistake in supposing that 
Evangeline could beat Cimiciua over a short distance. Ho 
had to pay £500 for his notion, ns tho former running was 
amply confirmed. Bonnie Morn having really nothing to 
defeat, earned off tho Champagne as ho liked. As the “ six 
dozen " are stipulated to go to tho raco fund, we may be at 
a loss to know tho actual recipients of tho wine, but whoever 
they were, we trust that they drank success to Bonnie 
Mom, even till cock-crow. Wo fancied that The Early Bird, 
having once become acquainted with the judge's chair, 
would direct several uninterrupted flights thitherward, 
but, after making a successful pounce on the Stand 
Plate, wo lind that on tho following day, with 2 to 1 
on him, ho suffered the stout Rataplan to clip his 
wings by an easy three lengths for the 100 sovs over the 
milo and half. Jack Sheppard dashed off with the Sweep- 
stakes of 10 sovs, and 60 added, in a manner that almost 
tempts iih to regret that this promising young fellow was not 
entered for the Derby. Tho failure of Dirk Hatteraick in 
tho Municipal, was an ovent that must have cast dismay 
among his supporters for the great race on Epsom Downs. 
But John Scott is ever formidable with his two-yr-olds ; they 
generally display the perfection of training. De Claro at 
once found many and warm friends for the Derby. .Saraband's 
name is again registered among the winners. This fine colt 
will evidently seo a bettor day. Dervish has again been 
doomed to discomfiture, and his old opponents, who were so 
repeatedly twitted with the oharge of prejudice and lack of 
udgment, will crow lustily now at the triumph of the game 
Chicken. 
Tho Cup, the Doncaster Stakes, and the other fixtures of 
Friday, have to be run for after these lines are penned. Wo 
Bhall revert to the Doncaster Meeting, which has hitherto 
proceodcd with a brilliancy that has rarely or never been 
surpassed in latter years. 
The meetings of the coming week are numerous, and not 
without attraction. They include Pontefract, Bedford, 
Newport, Manchester, Leicester, and Lanark. Much sport is 
promised, and to one and all we wish success.
