he, ito assemble around the president
in


of the republic"
One of the features of the day was
an unusually large gathering of depu-
ties and municipal functionaries at
Longchamps, much less to witness the
races than to satisfy their adherence
to the existing regime. All the minis
tiers were loudly cheered when going
and returning. OF the 40 persons ar
rested only a small number have been
retained in custody. M. Loubet ex-
pressed wish that all who had been
arrested merely on account of the sedi-
tious cries, should, as far as possible,
be liberated.
Two policemen were injured by dem
onstrators, who were trying to rescue
friends from arrest. One, detective,
was very roughly used. His clothes
were nearly torn off his back and his
revolver and purse were stolen. These,
however, We're isolated incidents. Just
before midnight another demonstra-
ton took place outside the office Of the
Libre Parole. In the scuffies with the
police several persons were Injured.
Inquiry at the prefecture office at a
late hour elected the information that
about 80 arrests We're made during the
day, and 10 policemen were more or
| less seriously injured.
Yesterday was an anxious dav for
| M. Loubet and M. Dupuy, but except
| for few frothy demonstrations. no
| serious trouble occurred. The anti
| Dreyfusite papers vainly try to mag
| Nifty few brawls into frightful an
| archist riot. The Soir, by such head
| lines as "a Grand Prix of Anarchists
| and Police Agents and "a Very Ex
| pensive President seeks to make out
| that the whole demonstration in favor
| of NJ Loubet was manufactured by
| the police with the assistance of the
| anarchists"

orders kept many society people away

| the receipts in the "mutuals,'' which
| were 1880 600 francs below those of last
| $1,000 men under arms, the city had
more the appearance of the Fourth of
| July than the grand prix. 1t was a
| great triumph for M. Loubet and an IN

| ion.
The prominent cries were 'Vive LOU

After the riot at the Pavilion d Ar

M. Rochefort, in fact, has entirely
lost his popularity with the socialists
on account of his attitude in the Drey-
fus affair
The Jockey club held a meeting on
Saturday and resolved that M. Loubet
being their guest, must be treated cour-
teously. Lots were drawn and Victi-
niue d,Haricourt was selected to pre-
sent a bouquet to INNS. Loubet. On
the other hand, the club decided that
none of the women members of their
families should attend the races. The
attendance therefore was smaller than
usual. The admission to the course
produced only 100000 francs, as COM
pared with 341, 900 francs last year
, while the takings at the betting ma
chimes were greatly reduced.
