French Revolution, and by Mr.. Jacoby' Member
for Mid Derbyshire. Who lends his name to the
new Jacoby party.
II the Fourth Of July is to be ceieora'e"

I Thu ceorptaripS and other or
ficals of the Legation were all on duty with their
wives and all was over in time for those who
were bidden to 90 on to the royal garden-party
at Marlborough House and behold Mr.. Gladstone
in close converse with the Queen.
We have had however, another sort of Fourth
of July celebration, certainly more impressive TO
the English mind than the afternoon party at
the Legation. The crack of American rifles is
ringing in British ears. Honorable mention and
much more space than l can give is due to the
assachusetts rhemen who have been shooting
all the week against various English competitors,
some of them strong teams. The Massachusetts
bows have won every time. Five victories, no
defeat-that is their present score, and every VIC
tory decisive.
The arbitrator's award in the Chetwynd- Durham
case proves that Sir George Chetwynd made mis-
take in submitting the case to the Stewards OF
the Jockey Club. They decided against him on
Jockey Club grounds and on suspicion. Their
award accuses him of connivance with Wood
and Sherrard. There is no evidence OF coll
nivance The Stewards arrive at 1t by INFER
ence They say that certain evil practices were
going on in the stable where he trained, ana
that Sir George, being an expert IN racing
must have known of them That does not satlsiy

George is guilty chiefly Of technical offehces he
has violated, not the Ten Commandments or any
one of them but certain rules OF the Jockey Clio'
As for Lord Durham, he too acted on susplclon'
His main charge has broken down. His case has
been won, so far it has been won py nshlng
for evidence which he had not when he made the
charges. The wbee subject comes before the
Jockey Club to-day, where opinion is SO divided
that nobody knows what is likely to occur.
The theatres have suffered alike from the hot
weather and from the Shah, but two novelties
have been produced. Mrs. Hodgson Burnetts

The reports of the Paris Exposition awards to
English artists have been received here with con-
sternation The Academy does not object 10 the
medals of honor to Mr.. Alma Tadema and MT.
Henry Moore, though the first is not English and
the second is not an Academician The horror
begins when Mr. Whistler is preferred before Sir
Frederick Leighton, or perhaps bracketed with
him. for accounts differ. Mr.. richardson's medai
somewhat consoles them. He is both an Il. A.
and a general favorite. Mr.. Shannons recogni-
ton too. is not unwelcomc for though Mr.. Shannon
is an outsider, he is young, and has sprung sud
denly into celebrity for the painting Of portraits,
especially portraits of beautiful women, and
is now painting an American, Mrs Smith Barry.
Mr.. Sargents honors disturb only the fossils
American as he is England has for some years
been familiar with his genius. 1t is his portrait
of Mrs. Henry White, work of brilliant dis
tinction lately in part repainted, to which he owes
hear, in no small measure the medal of honor
awarded by the French jury. &. w. 5.
