Baroness Adolphe dc Rothschild, the Hon.
Mrs. Il. @. Yorkc and Mime. j. Lebaudy.
Between the bridge Of the Invalides and
the bridge of Alma, at Parifikn the right
bank Of the Seine, the u. y. II. have es-
tahlished a station for glchtyvhich fly the
flag, and the moorings are put at the dis
position Of owners OF foreign yachts who
mount the Seine.
Each year an annual assemblage of
yachts Is held. The squadron Is passed in
review by the admiral president. On this
occasion a government vessel is placed at
his disposal, upon which he Is authorized
by the minister OF marine TO hoist his
burgeo. Last year the review took place
at Cannes. More than go yachts took part
In this parade, among them being Britain
MIA, Roxana, Eros, Namouna, Fauvotto,
Foros, White Lodge, Oranella, st. Martial,
Ste. Audrce, La Perlo, Jeanne Blanche,
Chazalie, Lena n Opal. These interna-
tional reunions exert a favorable influence
on the development OF yachting In France
and on yacht building.
These reviews wore suggested by Prosi-
dent Lage and hgyo been mainly under
his direction. He Is also the director Of
the council of Nautical Clubs OF France,
which establishes the sailing rules, regu-
lates tho ratings and gives careful consid-
GRAFTON to all the questions which concern
the yachting world.

i~mprcbability of another race with our
English cousins in the near future, it Is
gratifying TO know that there are other
yacht builders and yacht sailors across the
water who may compete with US for SUI
premacy In yachting. IL Is not unlikely
that In our Gallo friends we may find
"foemen worthy Of our steel, +" and that
there may comre from the Seine a craft ft
TO meet the best product of the Herreshoffs
or any other shipbuilders Ia this coun-
try. A meeting Of French and American
yachtsmen in o 8tsyaters would be a pleas
ing event, and <Jre would doubtless be
an absence Of the bitterness and recrimi-
nation which characterized the last inter-
national race.
For a decade or moro English and
American yaohtsmen have flattered them-
selves that they were the only people in
the world who really knew anything about
the building and sailing of pleasure craft.
The recent Mediterranean and Kiel regat-
tas and the occasional victory Of some
French, Austrian or German boat over
their English or American built rivals,
however, seem TO bs>e opened our eyes to
the fact that there are other countries
which, with a little practice n training,
will soon be able TO give us a good fight
for the Americas cup or any other inter
national trophies which may be open to
challenge. OF all the foreign clubs none
has done moro for the sport than the Un-
ion des Yachts Francois, which is to
France what the New York Yacht club Is
to the United States or the Royal Yacht
squadron TO England.
The Union des Yachts Francois Is In the
field for a contest with the yachtsmen of
this country and presents as a trophy tho
beautiful and artistic French Americas
cup.
Admiral Baron Lage clear Theobald),
president of the Union des Yachts Fran
Gals, is the grand old sea salt of the French
navy. Born in 1915, he entered the serv-
ice when q boy, and the greater part of his
active career was spent In the days Of sail
ing ships. The story of his life Is a his
tory of the naval battles of France, In tho
course of which he was continually adding
to his reputation as a t%ptician and a sea-
man. The Crimean campaign was a spe-
cial field for the exercise OF his talents and
contributed considerably 10 tho luster of
his fame. In 1874 he received the stars of
admiral and retired in 1850 full Of honor
and dignity. Admiral Lage Is a com-
mander of the Legion Of Honor.
Baron Lage was one of the original
members Of the Yacht Club OF France and
was, in 1885, elected by the suifrages of
his colleagues to the important position Of
president of the Conseil Maritime. In
this Office he, by his tact and goniality, so
opnciliated the friendship of all that in
1883 he was unanimously selected to I'LL
the post of president of the club. This
position he occupied until the period when
he and all the rest of the yachtSmpn left
to found u new association which was

confidently asserted by the members of the
kennel club. The prince likes TO exhibit
his dogs quietly; hence the fact that they
are not more generally heralded.
Another foreign exhibitor is Thomas b.
Gregg of Ireland, who brings over the
genuine Irish ''terrier," and Francis
Craven, whose English collies are famous
In dogland.
One of the largest exhibitors this year
will be j. Pierpont Morgan, whose love
for dogs Is carried TO the extent OF placing
q kings ransom In his kennels annually.
Two OF Mr.. Morgan's ~dogs-Sefton Hero
and Rufford OrmonG-cost So, 900. They
are collies and are particularly Intelligent
as well as high bred.
Richard Croker owns a very clever little
fox terrier of considerable merit, which hC
enters annually. The dog has never taken
a prize, but is much admired by visitors.
There are a great many lady exhibitors
this year. TIL largest one is Mrs. Sem
Of Now York, who is the greatest lady
breeder of America and second in the
world only to the Princess Of Wales, who
has larger kennels, but does not PERSONAL.

as Mrs. Sem does.
Two OF the most valuable Sem dogs ar,
King Charles and Blenheim, dogs Of for
eign birth. Blenheim was born at Blon
helm castle and was bred by the late Duke
of Marlborough.
Among the prominent New York society
women whose dogs will be on exhibition
will be Mrs. James Kcrnochan, Mrs,
George Gould, Mrs. Charles r. Hone and
Mrs. Frederick Gebhard, each Of whom

The entries indicate that there will be a
large exhibit of field dogs-Engiish and
Irish settlers and pointers, foxhounds and
boagles. Among those likely 20 attract
the especial attention Of sportsmon are the
Llewellcn settlers, a representative type OF
which Is seen In Count Featherstone,
owned by Mr.. Charles +. Tretbar of Now
York. Count Featherstono is "a descend
ant of tho famous Llesyellcn Dan, and, in
turn, of the not lessI hmous Gladstone,
who is regarded as one of the best field
dogs that ever ran In America.

dispatch from Kobe today, which says:
News from Seoul, Korea, proves that Rus.
STA made q remarkable coup on the night
of Feb. 10. On that night 200 Russian
marines. with n field gun, were landed al
Chemulpo md marched to Seoul. The
king secretly left the palace for the Rus
sian legation. whence he proclaimed his
ministers guilty OF treason. Two of the
ministers were arrested and executed, and
the others fed. The father of the king is
q prisoner at the legation. 1t is reported
that the Russian minister declares that
Russia was not responsible, and that he
merely afforded protection Mt the kings

ludes a Russian protectorate over Korea.
