The Ministfer for Agriculture, who , h*s to look after these matters, also announces that the racecourse g*t» receipts i |iav« greatly increased, and altogether every-, thing is as he could wish. Touching on racing in France, I * may mention (saye • writer in an exchange) thai' the added money for this year's Grand Prix de Paris lifts be«n - increased to £12,000, and it is estimated that, inclusive of the breeder* premium, the value M -tb* race tc the -#mn«r will be nearly £16,000, whioh completely puts into the shade •ny nee competed fox in Enslcai.
