LONDON.
Hyde Park More Crowded at Church Parade Than It Has Been
This Spring.
EVERY RESTAURANT CROWDED.
Not a Single Table to Be Had at Lunch Time at the Carlton.
[BY THE HERALD'S SPECIAL WIRE.]
LONDON, Monday.—The first Sunday in May is generally a very crowded one in ^London, and yesterday was no exception to the rule. All the restaurants were crowded and there were so many people in Hyde Park for church parade that i,t was really difficult, to distinguish one's friends.
At luncheon nearly every table was occupied at the Carlton. Lord and Lady de Grey were together, and not far off I saw Lord Buchan, who is always so smartly dressed and is such a trim little figure that he is known in his own family ci'rcle as "the pocket Adonis." Mrs. Arthur Wilson and Miss Wilson were lunching with friends at one of the centre tables, and Sir Edward Clarke, Sir Richard Bulkcloy. Lady Evelyn Ward, in iron-gray frieze, with a ' black and white toque, was with her brother, Mr. Crichton. The tables were prettily decorated with masses of pink roses.
Well-known Miniature Painter.
Mrs. Massy, a lady well known in social circles as one of the clever miniature painters of the day, is going to Paris later on, where she has received several invitations to paint the pet dogs of a number of smart Parisian ladies. Few women have had such a success as Mrs. Massy. She has painted two or three of the late, Queen's dogs, as well as those belonging to the present Queen, the Duchess of Fife. Princess Victoria of Wales, and many other Royalties. Then, too. she has painted the pets of Mrs. Leo Rothschild, Mrs. Bischoffshe im, and many other leaders of London society.
She is also a very clever painter of children's portraits, and those she has been particularly skilful with include the Duchess of Marlborough's children.
Lady Huntingdon, accompanied by her ,brother, Mr. Herbert Wilson, has just gone to Sharavogue, in Ireland, for a few weeks.
I have just heard that Mr. Archibald Bence J onps and' Miss Susan Lopes are to be married very shortly at the Middle Temple Church. The bridegroom is a well-known barrister in London, who dabbles considerably in art, and has a great knowledge of old pictures, books and china. The bride is one of the many daughters of Lord Ludlow, one of her sisters being Lady Hanham and another Mrs. (Jporge Bathurst.
The Avondalei Restaurant, which has been closed for some time past, is to open with a flourish of trumpets again on Thursday next. and any number of well-known people have announced their intention of being present.
It was rather funny to notice the different styles of dress to be seen in the park. Some imagined that the bright sunshine meant warmth, andwore thin dresses and lace collars, while others, who recognized the trail of the cold east wind, were wrapped in furs and other warm garments. K early every chair on the grass facing Stanhope Gate, from the Achilles .statue, was occupied, and the attendance was certainly the largest this spring.
On what used to be called the quiet side, that is the flower-walk side of Park Lane, there were also many people. Among them I saw the Duchess of Abercorn, entirely dressed in black, as were her daughters, Lady Alexandra and Lady Gladys Hamilton. The duchess was chatting for a time to her pretty niece, Lady Evelyn Cavendish, who was with her husband, Mr. Victor Cavendish. Lady Evelyn was in black, with some slight touches of white lace here and there on her bodice.
Mrs. Ralph Sneyd.
Dainty as ever, with her pretty, fair hair framing a pretty face, was Mrs. Ralph Sneyd, who wore one of the prettiest dresses to be seen. It was of a lovely shade of silver gray, and with this she wore a large black hat and chiffon ruffle. Mrs. Rupert Beckett was another of the many pretty women to be seen about. She was wearing black and white, with at least twenty gardenias tucked in her bodice. She is said to spend more money on cut flowers than any other woman in London, but, of course, she is devoted to flowers.
Mrs. Cyril Martineau, as usual, created quite a sensation. She was dressed in black with a large black hat, which was tied under her chin with wide silk strings. This souinds rather quaint, but it was really extremely effective and most becoming.
I also saw Mrs. Arthur Wilson and flier handsome daughter, who have only just arrived in Grosvenor Place from Tranby Croft. The former was dressed entirely in black, but Miss Wilson's black hat was lined with white, and there were touches of white lace here and thero on her costume. Mrs. McDonald. a smart and wellknown rich widow, whose sisters have all, I think, been maids of honor to the late Queen, was dressed in very severe black with the exception of a large buinch of vellow marguerites fastened in her bodice.
Lady Hood in Black.
Lady Hood, one of the most picturesque women in London, who always wears pretty clothes, was walking about with Lord Hood. She was dressed in black, with a superb string of pearls round her neck. Near Grosvenor Gate I encountered Lady Helen and Lady Hermione Graham, both very neatly dressed in gray. Lady Constance Gore was dressed in black and white and looked: very smart indeed.

FRENCH RACING.
Large and Fashionable Gathering at
Longchamp and the Tribunes Dazzling with Bright Costumes.
MANY STRIKING NOVELTIES.
La Camargo Wins the Big Event for Fillies and Cheri the Big Prize for Colts.
The Prix des Poules d'Es.sai are regarded as among the classic and select events of the Paris racing season, and they always attract to Paris a gathering as numerous as select. Yesterday fully confirmed the tradition. The weather was, moreover, altogether favorable to the display of new costumes, and the spectacle afforded by the fashionable crowd was delightful.
The Racing.
ihe racing left nothing to be desired as regards sufficiency of fields and class.
With a programme including the French Two Thousand and One Thousand, there was surely fat enough, but with the important Prix Rainbow added, it was a dish to set before the most critical of visitors.
It \n" said on course that the winner of the Prix du Jockey Club, or French Derhv, was seen in Cheri, but while granting that the colt did well and is capable of being made better, I shall not stand his form for the two biggest events, the Derby and the Grand Prix.
Although Fantassin was beaten, it was by such a narrow margin that the slightest improvement or deterioration one way or the other would make all the difference and possibly reverse the result.
La Cclmargo won the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, confirming her performance of last autumn. But the times. 1m. 49^00. for the colts' race, and 1m. 50sec. for the fillies' event, were not calculated to inspire enthusiasm.
The winning jockeys were: W. Pratt, who won two races : E. Watkins two. Barlen one, and the brilliant apprentice B]akeman one.
The opening selling race was won by RCJyauté from the outsider ]Ba,,ir(l : the favorite, Franc Gascon, running third. The winner was claimed after the race by the brothers Hurst for 6,321 fr.
For the Prx de Suresnfs odds of 6 to 4 were laid on Loulou, while 9 to 4 was on offer against Cupidon. The latter made all the running and won easily bv two lengths and a half.
La Camargo carried the stable money for the big race for fiIJies. It. was evident that she had improved during the winter and grown into a beautiful filly. Kaffa also looked wei!, while Dido had many adnirers,
There were many light-colored dresses, especially drabs, one of which attracted much attention. It was of bright drab point d'e.sprit tulle over a ground of taffetas to match, and a Louis XVI. habit incrusted with Pompadour medallions in painted muslin, the designs being outlined with narrow sky-blue ribbon velvet. The skirt was made in small pleats and ornamented with similar medallions round the bottom.
La Camargo with Kaffa made the running to the turn. A capital race ensued ap the straight, La Camargo winning bv a eneth from Kaffa. with lVfr. Vnnrlprblït's i Dido a neck behind the latter. If Barlen iad had good luck, Mr. Vanderbilt's fillv night have won the "One Thousand," but , ihe was completely shut in, and Barlen. ailing to get un on the inside, had to puli mt again to the outside and could only
get third place. Mr. Vanderbilt possesses a very fine filly, and Barlen did her justice. She was a very popular place investment.
Fantassin got well away for the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, and led his field to the turn for home, when he was caught by Ciléri. For the moment it looked as if he held Caeri, but the latter was not to be denied, and Watkins riding a vigorous finish, M. C'aiuault's colt got home by a neck.
The Prix Rainbow, which has in its time been won by horses celebrated in French turf history, attracted yesterday six runners. M. de llrémcnd furnished two, Ivoire and Iago, the former being favorite at 5 to 4 ; Théobard was next in demand at 7 to 2.
Iago and Kin gal ic went away with a thirty lengths' lead till a mile from home, when Kingahc was beaten, and Théobard began to creep up. Collaring Iago at the distance, he sailed in, winning in great style by two lengths.
A large field went to the post for the Prix de l'Esperance for maiden three-yearolds. A great finish was seen between Barlen on Friso and Pratt on Jardin. Friso finally won by a head.
The prettiest dresses had large "lingerie" collars, or fichus in the same style, but giving a graceful fall to the shoulders. One of these dresses was of rainbow striped Louisinc, with an enormous collar of ecru muslin incrusted with designs in Irish guipure, on which were arranged, irregularly, small barrettes of black velvet, fixed by tiny steel buttons.
Aiiotaer novelty noticed was that of dresses of plain foulard. A very pretty dross in this .style was sky-hlue. with a large guipure collar and with waistband and scart of cinnamon-colored taffetas.
Harmony in color and in ,style. appears to be one of the chief preoccupations of women of fashion. In this respect, I should notice a charming dress of pastel cloth, and a large toque of white straw, trimmed entirely with blue hydrangeas, and a boa composed of pastel petals. The sunshade which .completed the costume was in the ''art nouveau ' style, made of taffetas with blue hydrangeas painted upon it. I notice that many blue flowers are made for trimming hats : roses in the whole gamut of blues are used to trim hats of wheat-colored straw, and accompalllücl by rosettes üi black velvet, which give a striking note to the general effect.
In the Tribunes.
In the reserved tribune I noticed :
Comtesse de Ganay in pastel cloth with black hat; Baronne Alp'bonse de Rothschild, in a black striped dress; Baronne ■ Henri de Rothschild, in serge and blue taffetas, with a black and white hat; Mme. Ephrussi, in a cream-colored, tailormade costume, with Pompadour hat; Vicomtesse Vigier, in a blue tailor-made costume; Mme. Zurlinden, in a costume of black and white cloth; Comtesse de Leusse, in beige-colored cloth with black ;hat; Comtesse Allarcl de Montgomery, Marquise de Mun. in black and wfliite foulard ; Mine. Carroll, in drab cloth, with a boa of black and white tulle ; Comtesse Pillet-Will, in lavender-blue cloth; Baroness Berckheim, in black ; Comtesse de Pourtales, in drab: Comtesse de Pracomtal, in white; Mme. de Ytuxl)e, in drab, with black Ibat; Comtesse des Isnards, in blue serge.
Al so Duche.sse de Montgomery, in black silk ; Countess Tyszkiewicz,in a black habit and lace skirt; Comtesse Jean de La Rochefoucauld, in black foulard spotted, with white : Baronne Roger, in black and white foulard, with a mauve hat; Mme.

Gailhard, in a black skirt and rosecolored habit; Duchesse de Morny, in a black and white striped dress ; Princesse Murat, in a tailor-made habit costume of blue serge ; Comtesse Le Marois, in pastelblue cloth ; Comtesse de Perigord, in b]ue cloth ; Comtesse de Nioac, in black taffetas, and Comtesse de Bonvouloir, in black.
