PARIS. June 3O.-Yesterday the review to
which all Paris has been looking forward for the past
tlree weeks and more came off at LOngclamps. Twice
had the review been announced and twice had oeeh
nstnouel both times with very lame excuse, uht 10
became quite a serious question ~ Paris as 10 WAe'eR

Dorniug that We all felt that this time the IeVe"
Vas really 20 come OF. All the morning there was a
continuous stream of troops pouring ont toward
the Bots dc BoulOgne, and circulation In many
Of the main streets Of PARIS was not

of carriages and people on foot vending their way mp
the Champs Eysees as one would have seen on race
day or on Sunday. One would have thought that there
would have been little money to spare for calT-
ages and that the people who went on foot would have
been better employed in earning money at home Inc
French however, seemed to think otherwise and IN
deed those Of my acquaintance whom 1 spoke with
seemed to look the review as great patr0uc mani
festatio2 which every lover Of his country was
bound TO attend. So the people thronged out
In thousands up the broad avenue Of the
Champs EIys6es and down the Avenue Uhrich late
Avenue de Imp6ratrice. Al the Porte Dauphne lead
