The French Derby was run on Sunday, Wa/ 23rd, and we were favored with splendid weather, a bright sun, not too hot, and a delicious breeze. The racing com menced with the Dangu Stake, which only brought out three starters—Montargis, Sal tarelle, who won the French Oaks last year, and Manille, Manille took the lead, but was soon replaced by Saltarelle, who held the first place till the three came into the straight the second time round ; a gallant struggle then eusued, in which M. Fould'a mare was beaten by a short neck by the Comte de Lagrange's horse. As for Mon targis, he raced last all round, and when called upon could not answer. Montargis was backed at evens. In the Oise Stak<s auother disappointment was experienced, Lustucru, who had been very little backed at 10 to 1, beating the favourites easily, with Fagotin a good second. The next event, the Gouvieux Stakes, produced twelve competi tors, Le Champis, Sans Merci, and Laversine being most in favor. The stakes, however, fell to M. Delatre's Parempuyre, who won rather easily, Belle Mimi being second. For the Prix du Jockey Club, or the French Derby, there were also twelve starters ; the Comte de Lagrange's Nougat being the favorite at 2J to 1, M. Lupin's St Cyr 4 to 1, M. Davis's Perplexe 4 to 1, Salvator 6 to 1, Rabagas II 20 to 1. Perplexe, on passing the stands, was very generally admired ; and some one near me asked if the victory of the son of Vermout would be greeted with cheers. The horse was entered in the name of M. Davis, but M. Davis means M. Shickler, who is a Prussian, and who, though a great favorite at the Jockey Club, has not yet ttiought it expedient to run as he used to do under his own name. However, Perplexe was not destined to win. After cantering past, the lot paraded in Indian file before the stands, Rabagas 11. alone showing temper, aa is his wont. After one false start the horses got away on very good terms, Fille du Ciel jumping away with a lead, but the running was soon taken ap Soupgon.
