Equally disgraceful and astounding was the scene on this charming Parisian racecourse last Sunday.  The cause was a bad start in the Free Handicap, when the favourites were left at the gate, and when some rascals, who had backed the unlucky horses, at once stormed the enclosure.  It was over two hours later when a force of infantry at last restored order, and meanwhile the "mutuel" buildings, the restaurant, stables, booths, judge's box, railings, &c., had been given to the flames.  Many thousands of pounds were stolen from the "mutuels," and battles between the thieves for notes and coin raged over the heath.   Although the attempts to burn down the grand stand failed, its planking was ripped up, windows broken, and chairs and seats smashed. In all the damage to property totalled to several thousand pounds, and great numbers of people were more or less severely injured.

Condition is Very Good.
