Opantllly covers ABOUT OU,UUU acres.
The race course was organized by
the DUO D. Orleans. and the French
"Oaks" and Derby are ran there.
Being the frat real outing day, il
attracts q large ..concourse of people,
but the rendezvous is ever more pa
trician. than plebisn. The Chateau
D. ED, in Normandy, is the head
quarters OF the Orleanist family; but
Chantilly is the political head centre
OF Orleanism. Only cure friends are
admitted to the castle stand where the
Duchesse de Chartres receives for her
uncle. There is private buffet also,
bat to which only the elect are ad.
mitted.
The plebs despise all this, they
make up for the run down to Chantilly
something between a Cooks excur.
sionist and an emigrant for South
America. Only the family and
relatives do not come to zee the pill
grim fathers start. The voysger is
ell straps and buckles. q muLtum in
pGrre Of 6eldglssses, TASKS, wraps,
sticks and handbags. On arriving,
the walk through the forest to the
race couree. is matchless. Some take
an sntediluvian cab, and drawn by a
horse which. "tor positively that day
only" INDUCES in the souvenir of a
gallop throughout the year. But
then all is bizarre and gay; joyful as
Spring and merry as youth.
Tie grand ambition for the NJ asa
is, to get back, and taking CAB at
the railway terminus, drive down the
Rue Lafayette like q fire. brigade;
cooks, walters. and bahamas, grinning
at the return.
The Duo de Bourbon, was the last
ofths illustrious and unfortunate race
OF the Condo. He committed suicide
in August. 1880. at Chantilly. by
hanging himself with q pocket hand
kerchief from a window-bolt. His
mistress, an English lady, Sophie
Daus, to whom he left 30 much
wealth. was accused OF the death
bat it was never proven. Indeed, the
old duke was never the same. since
Napoleon l., murdered his only SOD,
Due d. Enghien, by shooting him in
the moat at Vincsnnes. In his earlier
days, the duke had fought duel with
the Comte d. Artois. the brother of
Louis XVIII, and later Charles X,
for insulting his separated wife, at q
masked ball. The duel came of in
the Bots de Boulogne, in presence of
a crowd of citizens. When the Comte
D. Artois' son, the Due de Berri. was
assassinated, the Duo, though an old
man. forgot all his resentment, and
insisted on consoling The comts az he
knew the first what it was to have an
only son murdered. Next he called
on the King at the Tuilleries; and on
being shown into the study, where
Louis XVIII. was at work, the poor
duke staggered and tainted. He
remembered, that it was precisely in
that room, Napoleon l. had signed
the abominable order to assassinate
his son.
Enthusiasm has wonderfully cooled
down about the Chinese treaty,
and Bismarck, and some of the
Changs or Sings, are accused OF hav-
ing sold France. The extraordinary
rapidity of the solution is due to the
friendly" Intervention OF Bismarck.
In Withdrawing Chinese troops-al-
ready driven out of ToDkin. and
acknowledging the protectorate OF
Frsnce-which could not be avoided
the celestials make no sacrifice.
They gain, however. in tying France
down to accept trading facilities OF
special nature, with the southern
provinces. in exchange for any war
indemnity.
Now, China is bound to grant to
English and other nations commerce,
the same privileges she .accords to
France. Then it will require millions
to open up routes for merchandise to
reach Southern China, and the play
may not be worth the candle. Be-
sides, on the northern frontiers of
these provinces by the Indian railway
system others will be able to undersell
French importations.
There will be coming struggle
between England and France as to
who is to"protect" Siam. The French |
feel England is now on the q,ti 0i1e,
and that their tnwarting policy in |
Egypt has done them more harm
than good-In the eyes OF the
European powers. Tits also rumored
that John Bull is playing the waiting
game, and that he will never quit
Egypt. The Spanisrds are uneasy
about French designs on Morocco.
The more France assures Spain of
ner disintereatedness, the more the
aidalgos recall the protestations of
he French foreign minister, that the
expedition to Tunisia was only to
,hastise the Kroumirs, while the
3srdo treaty was at the same time
IN its way for the Bsy to sign-or
iecamp. Neither are the Spaniards
, whit more happy at the news, that
he first French troops that cross into
Morocco in search of Kroumirs,
England. by virtue of her treaty
lights. will occupy.instantly Tangiers,
dogador, and Tetenan. Gibraltar, (.
