and an enormous gathering turned out to do him
honor and to amuse themselves. Those accus-
toned to the road on Derby or cup day at Ascot,
missed the fourin-h hand drays. the barouches with
four horses and post boys, the neat mail phaet0ns
and the well appointed breaks which form part OF
the pageant on such occasiona There was nothing
of this sort In The Champs Elysees the Bois but
there were
PLENTY OF DOG CARTS,
in which your modern French youth delight-high
swinging, banging dog carts, with big wheels and
horses curbed up until they look like veritable star
gazers-plenty OF rafting victora's and hired
cabs; and, above ALL lovely weather and magnf-
cent scenery, the Bots itself looking charmingiy
fresh and sylvan, fountains FLASHING and glitt ering
In the sunlight, and round the course OF Long
champs ITSELF undulatlng upland, covered with fresh
green turf with dark green fringe OF foliage in the
background. There was mistake about the attrac-
ton of the Shah. for the concourse was immense,
and, though this was entirely xtra day, and the
usual high prices OF admission were enforced, the
throng was as great almost It Ia the occasion
OF the Grand Prix." AS have said before, the
cocotte had been rgidly excluded from the opera
on the previous evening, but they made up for the
deprivation by their attendance ut the races.
Probably not one lady who lives, "dGns ces nsesl-
oses" in the Quarter Breda, was absent either
from the enceinte de pesage, equivalent to our
grand stand, or from the opposite side OF the
course, where were ranged the carriages OF the
half world. good many English sporting men
among them the Duke OF Hamilton, who had one
or TWO horses runnng) had come over for the
event. and saw Lady Cardigan on the ground.
The Shah arrived at half-past three, and was re-
ceived with perfect silence. The crowd charged
Gown upon the sergens-de-ville and pushed for
ward to stare at the visitors, but never gave him
hurrah. He, for his part, looked fierce and sulky;
not once during the races did he smile or speak.
1t is said that
l. MARSHAL MACMAH0N
had neglected TO point out to his guest any OF the
special features Of the sport, and that his silence
was caused rather BY ignorance than Obstinacy. 1t
Is certain that he scarcely spoke to Nine.
Mcmahon, who was on his right hand, ana that
when Isabel, the oouQssetaere Of the Jockey Club,
presented him with magnificent bouquet he
merely acknowledged the attention by a sullen nod
of the head. There was nothing to call for remark
in any OF the racing, which was, at best, fourth
rate, and. in view OF the far greater pleasure which
awaited it at the night Jste the public left the
course early and made its way back 10 Paris.
Anything equal to this
NIGHT PETE AT THE TRoCADERO
1 never witnessed. Before me lay all Paris,
ST. etched out like map at my feet-the outlines
OF the principal streets defined by dottei lamps;
the outlines Of the principal buildings marked
with lines Of fire. Straight in front is the Ecole
Militaire; between it and us the Pont dJena which
had been cleared, and the sides OF which
had been lined with fireworks. In front, to our
left Is the vast area OF the Champs de Mars above
1t lowered the huge dome of the Invaides which
is lit up with constantly changing fire-now glow
ing deep red reminding one OF that awful time
when the Commune reigned victorious and the
pet'oseuses piled their wicked trade; now
standing out against o violet background;
now surused as with golden sunlight.
And yOnder pale streak in the sky is the
reflection OF the myriad lamps which glitter In the
Champs Elysees, where, between every regular
lamppost, hangs festoOn Of additional lamps and
that dark object looming against the horizon on
the extreme left from the summit Of which rock

air OF intervals, must be the Arc de rEtoile

vauxhall IN London, an old garden, with o
few bad statues, wretched fountain or two
and the whole lit by coiored oil lamps, 1t
was looked upon by children as kind Of
realization OF fairy land. The remembrance Of my
old childish Impressions Of the place came back to
me last night as stood on the Place de la Con-
corde, and, on the whole, was not ashamed Of
