bettor than Norman III winner of the Two Thou ¬ sand and seventeen pounds the superior of the One Thousand victress Rhodora whilst Signorlnfetta which won the Derby and Oaks was not considered a sufficiently good racer to be even handicapped The Paris Autumn meeting commenced on Sunday When the Omnium or French Cesarewitch a mile and a half handicap worth 3000 attracted eight ¬ een runners and was easily won by M Braquessacs Viscos a brown threeyearold son of Gulistnn and Varagnes which had few friends The valuable Prix Royal Oak of 14300 run over a mile and seven furlongs is always a popular threeyearold event and this was considered a good thing for Mr Vanderbilts Sea Sick II but he failed by half a length to beat M Edmond Blancs nice filly Medenh a chestnut daughter of the Ascot Stakes winner Masque from Lygle by Isinglass out of Livie II by Silvio Medeahs race proved that she will he the French champion for the Prix du Conseil Munici ¬ pal when probably the Messrs von

event of the backend rac ¬ ing at Paris ParisCondition Condition brought Medeau home No doubt Sea Sick II stopped in ills work after the Prix du Presi ¬ dent de la Republique will do better when the trainer has wound him up to concert pitch Mr W K Vanderbllt who through family mourning still races in the name of his trainer had some slight compensation during the day for he won the first and last races on the card and was able to well rid his stable of such a rogue as Schuyler which showed a certain amount of promise nt the beginning of the season but proved so ungenerous that he was tried between the flags He had no liking for that branch of racing and a week ago underwent the operation of tracheotomy He stopped to kick when going out on to ie course and probably liis breeder and owner

Cambridgeshire to be run October 28 with Rhodora at 12J to 1 Cocksure II has not been beaten this season and is thought to be a certainty He recently won the Ayr Gold Cup and if he wins will make the forty fourth threeyearold to win this popular event since Lanercost won it first in 1839 1839Despite Despite Mr Crokers protest Rhodora is not at her best and the papers think it likely that she too will be retired with Orby Since running in the Oaks all has not gone well with her although she gained brackets pluckily enough at Ascot and nut up a good fight in the Atlantic Stakes at Liverpool while at the Curragh September meet ¬ ing she appropriated the Turf Club Cup and the Champion Prize These later successes gave hopes that the filly had come back to her Guineas form ueiiite the favor she found for the great event at the Ilpughton meeting At her best the daughter of St Fiusquin had great racing merit and in some trainers hands might never have known defeat as more than once when beaten she appeared to be in no condition for racing racingJ J II Martin the American rider has been en ¬ gaged to ride Lady de Bathes Mrs Langtry Yentoi in the Cesarewitch to be run October 14
