EFFECT OF THE ENGLISH TURF
ON FRENCH EXCHANGES.

100000 ($IJO,OOO), which Frenchman won !
over the victory Of Alicante in the Cam
bridgeshire, has produced an effect he never
dreamed was possible. This is nothing less
than fall in the rate of exchange between /
London and Paris. Though the fall is
slight one it is still sufficiently marked, and |
has beer the cause of great deal of talk /
among the bankers on both sides of the
channel, as the system Of international bet |
ting. due to the increased interest taken by |
the sportsmen OF both countries in the
events that occur in the other ia growing |
larger every year, and the authorities say |
that the time is fast approaching when |
bankers and brokers will have 10 watch the
race-course as a powerful factor in the /
movements of the money market.
LABoUCHERE APOLOGIsEs.
MIR. Labouchere has had cause TO regret |
the charge he brought against Inspector
Jarvis. of Scotland Yard, that that Official |
tried 10 brlbe lIishmen, as well as the Land |
Leaguers and Fenians in America, To give |
false evidence for the Times before the Par
nell commission. Mr.. Labouchere has paid
the Inspector hundred pounds, and has OIL
fered public apology to the Inspector for !
making the charge against him.
The queen of English watering places. as
the inhabitants of Brighton love to call that
winter resort, is greatly exercised IN It's
mind as TO the identity Of band OF three
itnerant musicians who give perform
ance every evening on the Kings walk,
the fashionable promenade. These young
men are said to be doing a tremendous husi-
ness, although they have to depend entirely
on the voluntary contributions OF the crowd /
that assemble to hear them. Their first |
coup was made when it leaked out that one
of the number was a young lord and the
rest Of the troupe was composed OF men,
bers OF the high arstOcracy. They have
eluded all questions as TO who they are ana
have SO far preserved their lnc0gnit0,
though it is said that the other night we'll
known stOck-brOker, who moves IN the best
social circles, succeeded i'm piercing Inc
mystery with which they have enshrOuded
themselves, and recognized one OF the per
formers. As an inducement to keep their
secret, it is said they told him they were
simply coming money, and were last be-
coming the rage. In fact people are al
ready beginning 10 consider those residents
outside the pale of fashionable society, un-
der whose windows or before whose doors
the band of the "MysteriOus Ones as they
are called, does not sing. The stock IN
trade o. the young men consists simply OF
piano, in cart, by means Of which 1t Is
easily moved from place 10 place. Inc
myteTiOus three are attended by smart
youth, who is dressed in suit OF livery.
and in whose shiny black hat is fixed
a cOckade, a badge TO which there is very
little doubt he is not entitled, and 1t j. he
who pilots the cart and the trio through me
crowded streets. Meantime One-half OF
Brighton is beginning TO lind OUT who the
members of the party really are, while the
Olhar half winks knowingly and preiends
TO have the information, but refuses 10
divulge it.
This, however. is not the first time q
watering-place has been worried to find oul
who its itinerant musicians are. AT several
of the watering-places an actor who played
with Mr.. Mansfield, both here and ln
America at one time, used to sing comic
songs and give sketches after the manner Of
Corney Grain and George GrOsmith, and
made a lot of money. He aud his partners
used to take turns in the performance. ana
they were accompanied 10y boy resplendehl
in buttons, who passed round tue nag lcr
contributions from the crowd. No one
knew who they were, as they always dis
guised themselves, and, contrary to the Gus
tom of itnerant musicians, stopped at the
best hotel in the town.
THE HUNGARIAN CONFLICT.
The conflict that has been going on be-
tween the Hungarian Government and the
Catholic clergy on the question OF the re-
ligiOn of the children born of mixed mar
rages is every day growing more acute.
and the end is not yet in view, as Cardinal
Simon has given orders 10 the clergy 10 pa!
no attention whatever to the recent circular
issued by the minister OF worship.
LABELLE sIFFLENsE.
On Thursday the GrosvenOr Club gave it,
first ladies' night of the autumn season,

among the artists who entertained the

plause of the evening by her whistling. The
Duchess of Manchester and Max Oliell
were among the guests who were invited.
