Thirteenth Race for the Grand Prize of Paris. KISBER THE WINNER Enguerrande and Mondaine Sec- ond and Third. IMMENSE ATTENDANCE AT LONGCHAMPS (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. } Panis, June 11, 1876. ‘The Grand Prize of Paris, the only race of any im- Portance run in France, in which foreign bred horses are allowed to compete, was decided on the far famed Longchamps to-day, and was won by Mr. Alexander Baltazzi's Kisber, the winner of the English Derby. LONGCHAMPS AND ASCOT COMPARED, Not even in the days of the Empire did this gay racecourse ever present a gayer scene, and Marshal MacMahon, as he took his seat in the old Imperial tribuhe, looked down on a larger crowd than any the late Emperor had ever witnessed. Perhaps no racecourse in the world presents such a brilliant spectacle as the Longchamps on a Grand Prix day. The racing, of course, is not so good as is seen in England, and the magnificent spectacle presented by the Court enclosure at Ascot is wanting. In other respects, however, the Longchamps is unique, and as utterly unlike an English racecourse as can well be imagined. Here all is lightheartedness and gayety; in England there is a large amount of grim earnestness about the sport. THE GRAND PRIZE CAN NEVER ‘TIONAL. The Grand Prix de Paris, though the richest purse in the world, has sofar beenacomparative failure. Itis supposed to be, par excellence, the international race, but in this respect it falls immeasurably short of the English Derby. -When the late Duc de Morny con- ceived the idea of the race he thought by adding $20,000 in hard cash to it to at once place it on the BECOME INTERNA- highest turf pinnacle. He had overlooked the fact that in England, where horses can be backed to win $500,000, stakes are of minor consideration; indeed, when the late SirJoseph Hawley won the Derby with Beadsmaid he presented them, and they amounted to about $30,000, to his trainer and jockey. Another reason why the Grand Prix can never be international is that it is ran on Sunday. When the Tace was founded the French Jockey Club wrote to their English brethren, asking for their support. Admiral Rous, in reply, pointed out that racing on the Sabbath was a violation of the religious feelings of Englishmen, and that the Jockey Glubd could not give the support asked, if anygother cay could be selected they ‘would throw all their influence into the scale. As the railways, however, contribute a very large Proportion of the $20,000 subscribed, and Sunday is ‘the great holiday of Frenchmen, the change could not be made, ‘The result is that some of the-more important English breeders have never taken any nominations, more especially Lord Falmouth, who always goes to church on Sunday, with a big prayer book under his arm. Many owners of horses in Eng- Jand are members of Parliament, and, however will- ing they might be to go for the prize, they dare not for fear of their constituents, Though on the pres. ‘ont occasion 202 horses were nominated for the face, only seven were the property of members of of the House of Lorda and Commons. With the French, on the other hand, it is the delight of almost every member of their Jockey Cinb, not only to take 4 nomination, but to support the meeting by this presence, ‘The Prench Jockey Club is very different to that of the English, which is @ staid assembly, having iu) rooms only at Newmarket. In France the Jockey Club have the most sumptuous rooms in the gayest part of Paris—in fact, it isthe first club of that gay capital. ENGLISH AND FRENCH VICTORIES, ‘The Grand Prize was first run in 1863, and since that time the English have won five times, the Preneh six, and one other race is in dispute; M.

NAPOLEON 1% LAST APPRARANCR ON THR TURP. Se far as Tank ond fashion are concerned there has been notoing in the Longehamps to compare with the Grand Prix im the Exhibition year, when Na- poleon Ut had half the sovereigns of Europe dancing attenslance upon him, It was when he was present to congratalate M. Lafitte on winning, in 1870, that he made his last appearance to the Parisian public. Two months later a special train skirted Paris, conveying Cesar and bis fortunes to the German frontier, and Parix knew him no | mere. THROUGH THE DOI DE ROVLOGNE TO THE COURSE. | Mondaine; M. P. Aumont's bay filly Basquine; Baron Driving through the beautiful Bois de Houlogae, every avenue of which was filled with carriages, it was difficult to conceive that there had ever been war here. The trees that had been ent down Imme- diately round the fortifications have been replanted and are growing luxuriantly. The «pring has been backward and the foliage looked fresher than uswal. | ‘The lake was thronged with boats, and Paris | was obviously taking its pleasure to-day. The cascade, in which art has been made to assist nature so admirably, wae i accessible on account of the carriages drawn up in front of the ew, so gratefully remembered by all who have breakfasted there. A little further, | and the ceiebrated Windmill is passed. Payment of | 2 louis opens to the visitor the long range of stands, — from the top of which an uninterrupted view of the | Tace may be obtained. And now we are looking down on the very spot where Kaiser William reviewed his mighty legions not six years ago before they made their triumphal entry into Paris, In the mind’seye we are witnesses of the splendid pageantry. There, by the judge's box, sits squarely on his charger the aged Emperor, the battalions saluting him as they make their final | march past. They do not complete the circle of the course, but as they near the left hand corner turn into the lower avenue, and the serpentine mass Winds on in the direction of Port Maillot, presently to appear in the Avenue de la Grande Armée. The | Tear column takes the lower turn, and tn little less than half an hour is proceeding past the Are de Triomphe, A BEAUTIPUL PLACR. Verily, itisa pretty place to look down upon, is this Longchamps, To the right are the trim villea on the height of St. Cloud, stretching toward Ver- sailles. Before us, on the left, frowns Mont Valérien, always the most prominent landmark around Paris, Behind, the Seine flows tranquilly, and thousands of people are coming up from its banks. Many thought it would be a good plan to take the train to Suresne, and now probably find out their mistake. The large plain in front is black with people. It presents a curious sight this morning, the French soldiers who were on duty scattering themselves over it and with their knives cutting up the roots of everything that looked like making asalad. A soldier onan Eng- lish race course is almost a rarity, while here there are enough to hold Paris against the whole Ger- man Empire. On the lawn there are innumerable chairs, all of them occupied by ladies, who look as if they were merely at a garden party. THE BETTING ELEMENT. The betting element is not allowed to be a nuisance in France, as it is in England. No betting is permitted in front of the stand. Those who wish to speculate must go to the rear, where all necessary accommodation is provided. We missed to a great extent the gayly painted Paris mutuel vans that used to throng the course on the farside. The Republic is becoming virtuous, and interdicts as much as possible ready money betting. Oiler of- fered a miliion francs for a ten years’ con- cession, but the temptation was resisted. The Grand Prix day is the only occasion on which the giants of the English betting fraternity visit France, and a sight they are for the gods. Occasionally they take the Frenchmen’s breath away by the tremen- dous offers they make. It is related that on one occasion, when Adolphe, a young member of the Jockey Club, accosted an English leviathan to back an outsider for the Grand Prix, and was offered 10,000 to 1,000," which being explained to him, was 250,000f. to 25,000f., or $50,000 to $5,000, he bolted ¢lean away from the course and went home and got under the bed. The French now favor the English way of betting very much—that is to say, all settle- ments to be made on the Monday after the race. The big English bookmakers, too, offer much better odds than the French ones, and things are made as pleasant for them as possible. “, They had a field day at the Grand Hotel yesterday. The court yard looked something like Tattersall’s on the Monday before the Derby. Continental travellers were astonished at the strange sounds they heard, and to them “6 to 1 bar two” was indeed a mystery. The French horses of the present season were not generally considered good. En- guerrande, the winner of the French Oaks, and also the “dead heater’ with Camellia forthe Eng- lish Oaks, was among the best. / THE WEATHER, The weather this morning was blustering and threatened rain, but at noon it cleared and then came out warm and pleasant. Approaching one o'clock the crowd poured along the Champs Elysées and the Bois de Boulogne. Elegant equipages and superb four-in-hands, filled with beautiful women in elegant totlettes, made their way toward Long- champs. “THE LARGE AND DISTINGUISHED ATTENDANCE. At half-past one o'clock the tribunes and course and the whole field presented a grand and animated appearance, reminding one of the best days of the Second Empire. Marshal MacMahon and Mme. MacMahon and suite entered the Imperial Tribune at half-past two o'clock, but their appearance elicited no demonstration. The Ambassador from Morocco accompanied them and formed a conspicu- ous figure amid the crowd of ladies. The Ambassa- dor'’s suite occupied seats on the roofs of the tri- bune, their picturesque costumes contributing great variety to the scene. . Perfect order was'maintained on the racecourse, and no accidents ocenrred during the day notwith- standing the great crowds that were present. THE STARTERS. Of the two hundred and sixty-two nominations eleven came to the post, These were:—M. Alex- ander Baltazzi’s bay colt Kisber; M. A. Luapin’s bay filly Enguerrande; M. Edward Fould’s chestnut filly A, de Rothschild’s chesnut colt Kilt; Duke of Hamil- ton’s bay colt Wild Tommy; Count F. de Lagrange's chestnut colt Braconnier and his chestnut tilly Camelia; M. Moreau-Chaslon’s brown colt Ashantee; Count F. de Lagrange’s bay colt Bijou, and M. Edward Fould’s bay colt Soussarin. When the horses came on the course for the race their appearance was greeted with cries of admira- tion, Kisber and Maidment, his jockey, being warmly applauded. THE BETTING. Just before the start the rates ruled 5 to 1 against Kisber, 10 to 1 against Kilt and Mondaine and 20 to 1 against Enguerrande, Braconnier and Camelia. THE RACE The horses were sent away on equitable terms, and after running about a mile Kisber drew out from all the rest and won ina@common canter by four lengths, Enguerrande finished second, Mon- daine third, Basquine fourth, Kilt ith, Wild Tommy sixth, Braconnier seventh, Camelia eighth, Ashantee ninth, Bijou tenth and Soussarin cleventh.

A new ploy, “Corinne,” by Mr. Robert Buchanan, will be produced this month at the London Lyceum. The London pabhe bas come to look upon Rubin- stein, the pianist, asa “lion” of the largest size and most impressive aspect, Herr Barth, of Kerlin, failed at tho last concert of tho London Phtihat je Society. He selected Henseit’s great piano concerto, and it proved too much for him. The Pall Mall Gazette, ot London, aptly remarks:— “When such singing as comes from the mouth of Mme. Patti is heard the most hardened Wagnerian must be Jed to reflect. For if the Wagnerian system wero established on the operatic stage, to the exclusion of all others, there would be no placo for such vocalization as Patti's.” We trust that the day will never come when melody shall be dethroned from the position of suprem- acy it has always held in Italian opera from any false plea of dramatic necessity, A Paris correspondent thus speaks of the composer of the new opera, “Dimitri,” recently produced attho Opéea National Lyrique:—“That M. Jonciéres has borrowed ‘the stylo and character of the tolk- songs of Muscovy’ lam not only unprepared to deny, buat | am even ready to assert that his borrowing bas not ended there, He has been as ready to borrow as ever was Sultan, Khedive or South American Republic. Meyerbeor, Verdi and Gounod, not forgetting R. Wag- ner himself—despite the asseverations contained in the remarks I have quoted—are there to prove the fact, Whatever may be tho case in days to come, at present M. Jonciéres permits memory to act too fre- quently as a substitute for fancy.”” THR BAIREUTH FESTIVAL, A correspondent writing from Baircuth gives tho following information rogarding the town and tho Wagner festival, which takes place in August: we that the Baireuth fostival is approaching some in- formation about the accommodations which visitors may expect to find there may be of interest. All the seats for the first representation are taken, and very iow tor the second and third representations are to be had. The town of Baireuth possesses four hotels, Zum Reichsadler, Zur Sonne, Zum Anker, Zum Schwarger Ross. The two former are the best, Persons who would prefer to live in private houses should address Police Officer Ulrich, Several new restaurants will be opened, two of them being close to the Niebelung Theatre. Baireuth isa deliguttul, old-fashioned placo, with many fiue villas, and the surrouadings are as charming as can be found anywhere in Germany. The two parks, each distant about half an hout’s walk from the town, are little paradiwes in themselves, The Baireutn enterprise is pow fully as- sured, Wagner has written to the musicians, and all his assistants in fact, that he is able to guaran- tee their gularies, The musicians will receive tucir Taiirowt fare and a monthiy saiary of sixty thalers, ‘The most prominent singers give their services gratis; the others demand very sinall remuneration iwaeed.

Pav, May 21, 1876. ‘You will not be surprised to learn that the severe weather which has prevailed all the spring in the north and centre of France has detained foreigners later than usual jn our southern winter quarters. Pau bas been especially iavored this season, and the American colony, which is usually very numerous here, prolonged ite sojourn almost to the middle of May. This unusual exteusion of the period of winter exile from their homes, to which invalids were compelled to submit, was due to the fact that, while cold winds and snow storms prevailed all over Europe, Pau alone preserved the privileged temperature, the beneticent effects of which have been so earnestly and frequently proclaimed by the most learned members of the medical faculty, In France Dr. Louis, in England Dr. Taylor, and, more recently st ll, Dr. Cazenove de la Roche, have taken occasion to dwell npon its remarkable results in the treatment o/ certain classes of disease, I may state that in « period of fone years the mortality among English and Amerivan juvalids has not averaged more than oue in sixty-live per annum, and among persons a:- tected with lung diseases 1 in 160, There bas not been asingle death smong children during tuat period, although several of them arrived here in a deleate state of health, Hut Pau is not merely a place suitable for the cure of affectiong of tho throat and lungs, It is also one ot the pleasantest winter resorts un the Contin for the heathy and idle, The means of amuscment and well sustained.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuixatox, June 11, 1876, MR. CALDWELL’S CABLE DESPATCH—ITS AU- THENTICITY ESTABLISHED—RESPONSE TO THE REFLECTIONS OF MR. TARBOX AND OTHERS ON HIS CHARACTER—WHO ALE Mi BLAINE'# PERSECUTORS ? The question of the authenticity of the cable despateh roceived by Proctor Knott aud signed ‘Caldwell’ bav- ing naturally excited very general interest, both from the fact of its having been witvheld so long from the committee and the importance attached to it by Mr. Blaine, your correspondent waited upon Mr, PD. 1. Sickeis, who it was known had for a long time held in- timate business relations with Mr. Caldwell and who is temporarily in this city, in anticipation of obtaining somo light on the sabject. Upon being questioned Mr, Sickels said:— “1 do not know that there is any objection to my telling you all | know about the matter, As soon as [ learned tbat the question was raised as to the authen- ticity of the despatch verifying the statement of Col- onel Scott before the committee respecting the sale of Little Rock and Fort Smith bonds to him by Caldweil I cabled Mr, Caldwell upon the subject, and this morning I received the following reply: gp Loxpox, Jane 9, 1876. Direct Cable, To Sickris, New York:— Cavled committee June 1 fall explanation, CALDWELL. “T may state to you that | was formerly ene of the directors of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Company, and that at present | am Mr. Caldwell’s correspondent in this country, Ido not wish to be involved im any manner in the controversies or disputes of politictang on either side; but as Mr, Tarbox and others have ree flected upon Mr. Caldwell’s honor ina public manner I deemed it not only just but necessary that the cable, although addressed to me privately, should be given to the public, and you aro at liberty to make such use of these statemeuts as you think proper, “Mr, Caldwell met with severe reverses financiaily in 1870, 1871 and 1872, while he was engaged in the con- struction of the Little Rock and Fort Smith and other Southern roads, and had it not béen for the Franco- Prussian war, which closed the foreign markets to his seourities while bis agent was abroad, and subse. quently the disastrous panic caused by the Chicago fire, 1am quite certain that ne would have fully consum- mated all his plans and realized a large amount ob money. “Mr. Caldwell was invited to Logdon by certain parties who were aware of his energy, business tact and ability, and he has since been engaged in railway con- struction there and in South America, I may add that the parties to whom he is most largely indebted in this country in connection with his railway projects hero are confident ot his success abroad, and they have never withheld from him their confidence und support, “Of course you will understand that I have no sym- pathy with the wholesale condemnation of Mr. Knott or the unjust reflections upon Mr. Hunton, both of whom I have found in my mtercourse with them to be high-minded gentlemen, and, so far I as can judge, dis. posed to clicit only the trutu, It there has been any persecution of Mr. Blaine, as is alleged, It was inaugn- rated’ and conducted: by the members of his own party.”? -+ GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH, Wasmctox, June 11, 1876, SPEAKER KERR'S CONDITION.
