Under Arms.

Paris, June 11-President Loubet has
had his revanche for last Sundays out
rage at Auteuil When he drove to
Longchamps to-day to attend the
| grand prix he was the hero of great
| popular demonstration, expressing itself
in one form or another along the whole
route from the Elysee palace to the race
| course.
| He remained only a quarter of an
hour, just long enough to witness the
race and having congratulated the own
| er of the winner returned to the Elysee,
| where he arrived at 4 o'clock without
| special incident. The revisionists and
| members to assemblealen the thorough
fares to be traversed by the president
| and his party and from the hour of
/ noon thousands of demonstrators set
| out from Mont Martre, Belleville and
| other working class quarters in big or
| ganized bands, all wearing small arti-
| ncial red flower in the buttonhole, and
marched across Paris, taking up posi-
| tions along the avenue Les Champs
/ Ulysses and the avenue De Bots de
| Boulogne.
They gave M. Loubet a tremendous
ovation, combining their cries almost en-
| tfrely to I'VE Loubet" and "Vive la
| republique.' The president did not hear
a dfscordant cry, although there were
one or two scuHtes before and after he
passed between the police and an oe-
casional hot-headed anti-Dreyfusitew who
tried to shout "A bias LoubeI" and was
Immediately pounced upon by stall
wart policeman. Although the visit
passed off quietly the government was
prepared for every eventuality, the
| whole distance between the Elysee and
Longchamps literally teeming with
| troops and police. A policeman was
stationed every dozen yards along the
| whole route and there were squadrons
| of dragons armed with lances and
mounted guards at all important points,
while through the green foliage of the
Bots, on eacn side of the avenue, could
| be seen heavy masses OF red and blue,
| denoting the presence of soldiers await
ing orders.
Longchamps resembled a military
camp. Battalions of infantry, squad
| rons of dragons and republican guards
| were distributed all along the course.
1t is estimated that there We're $1,000
soldiers and police under arms.
| M. Loubet practically drove through
a double hedge of steel A line Of in
fantry even stood around the race
course, between the public and the
course, on which no one was allowed to
| walk between the races, while several
! republican guards patroled the course
itself
The president left the Elysee at 2
| o'clock in an open landau with M. Du-
puy, the premier, beside him and Cen
eral Bailloud, chief OF the presidential
| household, and Major Bon, lieutenant
colonel of horse artillery, attached to
the person of the president Mime. Lou
bet followed in a second landau, after
which rode the presidential suite in
other carriages The famous outrlder,
Montjarred, preceded M. Loubet, whose
landau was drawn by four horses, with
a couple of positions escorted by a
picked body of cuirassers All We're
men of fine physique and formed a
splendid cavalcade, with the tery sun
giinting on their FURNISHED steal breast
plates and helmets, the latter sur
mounted with the red cockade and trail
, | ing the black horse hair plume.
The two leading cuirassers rode, re-
, yolvers in hand, with fingers on the
i triggers, and carefully watched each
side of the road, while beside the car
, rage rode a mounted policeman. On
, arriving at the race course the president
. drove through the paddock to the presi-
: Dental box.
Municipal guards and police lined the
) path across the paddock. Drums bea,
! and trumpets blared when Loubet ap'
peared in the front of the box and q
scene of the widest enthusiasm FOL
lowed. lasting several minutes, with ar
| uproar of shouts of ''Viye Loubet" ans
| tyiye la republique' which settled I'M
' ally into a monotonous chant.
The president sat bowling and smiling
, with Nine. Loubet at his SIDE IN
: cream lace dress. A portion OF tn
+ crowd in the paddock shook fists, UNI
9 brellas and sticks at the smartly attiree
people on the jockey club stand adJoln
. ing the presidents box, but the ciui

:, NJ. Loubet and his party was SO com
:. | pletely surrounded by guards and pole
! that it would have been impossible 70
any one to get within 10 yards of tn
steps of the box.
After the races the police dispersed
