News comes from Paris that the coaohing
arrangements which were to have made the
delight OF Nice and Cannes this winter have
lamentably fallen through. It was originally
planned that the coaches should bs driven
regularly between Cannes and Nice BY the

gr'shed themselves during the past season by
diving their coaches out OF Paris 10 different

Mr.. Tiffany of New York. Mr.. Ridgway

mony OF the quaretwas hrst interrupted Q
short time ago By the failure Of Mr.. Bennett
to appear with his coach with o party OF ladies
from Newport. including the well-known Miss
Letter. who has boon 30 much admired this
year In Paris and London. They were to drive
with him on the Dampisrs road past
the celebrated historical chateau Of the
Duchess De Luynes. At the time ap-
pointed the coach and horses were there

not appear. His place was taken BY Mr..
IlH0ny, VINO ID conelooroo the Doet whip OF

up its regular Jehu. As he did not appear Mr..
Tiffany conducted the party throughout the

seems to have led to further complications,
