CAPIELLO AND RODOSTO

On' the day'that Itbdostb w'ori the Poule dcs Poulaitis^:(]?risnch; vXwo- Thousand) at LongchafaiiI';,(JfSy : 14), Capiello, a chestnut-Colt-by the Ehglisli sire Apelle from the French mare. Kopje, easily won | ..the Prix:du Champagne-Cordon Eouge for Lady Granarc]. That the form of the latter, was good .has now been shown by Capiello's scoring in the Grand Prix de Paris, the premier French' classic of the year. If llbdosto started last Sunday he failed to gaiu a (place. The Prix'.du Champagne Cordon Kongo was formerly known as the Prix Acacias. It is run over the same <tistan.ee as the Poule dcs .Poulains (I.mije.), and is for three-year-old colts and fillies of all countries, those foaled in France either not having lieen entered: in or having been struck out of the Poule dcs Poulains and Poule dcs Pouliches (One ' Thousand). In winning this year's race, Capielio registered 1 1-lOsec slower time tlianßodosto did in the Poule dcs Poulains, but a .shade faster time than Bipearl did in the Pouie dcs PouJiches. Kbdostb had a hard race to win the .Poule dee Poulains, for which only four horses paraded,»and it vtaa only grit and determination that carried him through. The undefeated Jumbo led to the straight at'a good pace, but collapsed when tackled, by Kodosto. Commander then challenged, and drew to terms, but with great com> age Kodosto pulled away again and passed the post a short half-length in front, ftodosto thus gained the honour of being the first colt ever to win both the English arid the French Two Thousand.
