The result of the Grand Prix de Paris was a veritable triumph for the French sportsman, M. Edmond Bland for of the fourteen runners the three placed horses all belonged to him. The winner, Quo Vadis, is by the English sire Winkfield’s Pride from Filomenn, while second place is filled by Cairns, by Reverend from Choice. Vinicius, who ran second in the English Derby could only get third, so that it looks as if M. Blanc might have secured the much coveted Blue Ribband 'of the English turf if he had relied on Quo Vadis instead of on the son of Maaque.
