good chance of succeeding the late lin

his play being a success. The election
would not, however, take place for six
months TO come. Emile lola has stated
that he will have no objection to making
the round of visits which is required from
every wOuld-be academician.
The course dc tdurcdu1 in the vast arena
of Rue Pergolese. continues to be the
favorIJe afternoon rendezvous OF all OF
Paris. The cavaliers in the place, Alfred
Tiuoco and Luis de Rego, score great
success as they wheel and pirouette with
graceful audacity and perfect horseman-

Rafael GUerrita, the dashing matador of
twenty seven, is a great favorite and is
enthusiastically applauded, especially by
the women, as he calmly kueels before the
ball and losses handfulS of sand into his
eyes Another fayorite trick of Guerrita
is to stand within yard of the Infatuated
animal and contemporary tickle his nose

ascent was rendered more remarkable than
any that has previously been made from
the fact that a number of his visitors, and
