cup was received the Tuxedo management
attempted to lay out a polo-field in the

zaine had been placed in command Of the
main army by the Emperor. HIS forces
consisted Of 10000 in fantry, ll,000 cavalry,
go guns.
All this time the Crown Prince was
driving MacMahon back, and so close
was the chase that at one time his forces
almost got between the French and
Chalons. for which point MacMahon was
heading, there TO join his shattered forces
with those of De Failly and Canrobert
which was finally effected August 10th.
All the cities on the way were taken
by the Prusslans. on the 18th. Nancy
the ancient capital Of Lorraine, was taken
by four Prussians. Strasburg was in
vested the same day. Lichtenberg on the
18th; Harsal. Toul. Phalsburs, and La
Petite Pierre all fought and resisted with
great heroism. but finally had to give in.
THE GREAT BATTLE.
On the 18th King William. Won Moltke,
and Bismarck were at Henry, fourteen
miles southeast OF Metz, with 10000 men
drawn up In semi-circle on the River
Moselle. on Sunday the 14th the battle
for the capture of Metz began. This is
known as the Battle OF Longville or
Courcelles. Opposed We're the forces of
Bazaine. about half as strong numerically.
The first attack was made by the West
phalians under General Won Zastrom, in
a suburb seven and a half miles from
Metz proper. The French were driven
back slowly. They were in rfe-pits,
where great damage could be done TO the
Germans. After the battle in one great
rife-pit were found dead and dying
French 70 the number OF Isl. The French
fought with desperation. as did also the
Prussians. Three times the chateau OF
Coloinbey was taken and lost.
There was a cessation until the 18th,
when the attack against Bazaine was
again taken up. this time at the suburb
OF Vionville. much closer 10 Metz than
the place Of the first battle. All day
long the battle continued. and at night
fall. the French still held their position.
Both sides claimed Il victory In this bat
tie. The dead and wounded occupied
the nth. and on the 18th the battle OF
Vionyille was renewed. and toward eve
ming Bazaine was driven back TO Metz
That night Bazaine retreated. ..
II was a march OF victory for the Prus-
clans from that until the surrender, at
Sedan on September ID. and again until
bismarck proclaimed the Empire OF Ger
many In the palace OF Versailles.
THESE are the battles that the Ger
mans are about to celebrate. II is little
wonder that the French should frown
upon the festivities.
