 races this afternoon closely followed by Mme. LoU5et in a second landau. Or the way to the course were several demonstrations. During the second
 race the clamor increased to violence
 and was p,ainly directed by a com- Pany Of the League of Patriots, col
 lected with their supporters. Behind
 the presidents stand there was a for
 midable affray. During the grand
 steeplechase many blows were struck
 and several police were injured in en-
 deavors to prevent an invasion of tha
 presidential stand.

 while shouts of ''Vive Farmee!" and
 ''Vive DerCuledeI" were heard on all
 sides, Count Christiano rushed to-
 ward the president, branGlishing a
 stick, and directed a bow against
 him, striking his hat On returning to the Elysee palace, M. Loubet re- ceived many sympathizing callers.
