him that, as he was an American ci'i%en' -
would be difficult for the authorities to take i'o

cerned Frenchmen The proper channel for such
a communication would be through the uhi'eu
States Embassy and iwth extreme civility ana
affabillty the Prefect of Police told MI Bennett
that his request could not be granted the
aisonnointment is such that Mr.. Bennett thinks
of leaving Paris for a short cruise in the Med
,,erranean. although last week he rented villa
near Auteuil for a summer residence.
AS the closing of the Puteaux and the Auto
mobile clubs has caused such a futter OF excite
ment The Tribune correspondent has taken
pains to ascertain the real motive or these eX-
ceptional measures which are so bitterly com
planned OF in fashionable circles, and is able to
give these reasons in the following words OF
French statesman whose sources OF information
are unquestionable and who not long ago visit
ed the United States:
1t is matter of common notoriety that certain
clubs have encouraged hostility TO President
Loubet; many Of their members. including one
or two personages belonging to the cosmopol-
itan putocracy, have spoken in derogatory
terms OF the President II Is ridiculous to sup
pose that these men approve the ill-bred assauIt
at Auteuil. but the screws now put on the clups
make what is known as Partisan society use
Its influence to prevent the repetition or such
disgraceful scenes. The best way to do this is
to hold the clubs responsible for the doings of
the black sheep in their fold. The clubs have
aroused the spectre of socialism. and 1t Is to the
Government that the clubs would apply to pro-
tect their property in case of disorder. The
clubs must dsassociate themselves from acts
like that Of Christiani. who was member OF
the Puteaux Club and the club Of the Rue Roy
ale. Americans tell me that the closing OF
clubs for political reasons would never be toll
Grated in the United States. but no member OF
any Of your leading clubs such as the Union
Club. the Knickerbocker Club, the Racquet
Club for instance, in New-York, has ever been
guilty of hitting the President OF the United
States over the head with a loaded cane while
he was guest at a race meeting held under
the auspices OF club in the presence OF the
Diplomatic Corps, and when seated between
two ladies. of whom the wife of for
eign Ambassador. Under such circumstances,
think. even in the United States there would be
popular resentment against the club which
should retain the aggressor on the list Of Its
members.
! The outcome OF the matter so far is that
| the Royalists have extermnated whatever politi-
cal hopes they may have had. and the centre
Of gravity of the French Republic is shifted
q few more points toward Socialism.
The chief musical incident of the week was
the successful performance of a mass composed
| by His Royal Highness the Landgrave OF Hesse
at the Madeleine yesterday. 1t is wonderful
how a composer who Is blind in one eye and
with very imperfect sight in the other should
be able TO produce mass displaying an int
mate knowledge OF harmony and familiarity
with the methods Of Palestrina and Of Bach.
| The fugue movement predominates with the
! traditional form preserved in all It's purity.
! The mass is dedicated to the Pope. Among
! those present the Grand-duchess Paul of
! Mecklenburg, Baroness Flotow Nine Marchesl,
Nine. Observation-Disclosures. the Duke OF
Pomar. Nine. Ferrari, Mr.. Sebastian Schesin-
ger. Miss Schleslnger and Mr. and Mrs Clarence
Eddy
The dance given on Wednesday by Mr. Howard
Case at the Pavilion d'Argnonville in the Bos
de BOuogne was q decided success Mr.. Frank
Andrews led the cotillon with two partners. Mrs.
Ingraham and Mrs. Pomeroy. The favors were
of tortoise shell. from Naples. and Neapolitan
embroidery. Among the guests were Mr.. and
Mrs De weerth and Mr. and Mrs. Pell Hag
gerty, Miss Stella Anderson, whose piano re-
cital at Sale Erard came off with exceptional
brilliancy, and who, Paderewski's advice,
has now adopted musical career; Mr.. and
