The afternoon was holiday in Paris

cession and at the approaches to the
grounds.

of cabs, of which an unbroken stream,

The vast throng which tried to reach
the Champs de Mars in advance of the
preside, tial party by passing through
on the ground floor of the agricultural
hall, found it a discouraging task. Piles
OF plaster, blockades of timber and I'M
filed excavations confronted them
everywhere. over these they climbed,
almost suffOcating from the dust.
Handsomely gOwned women in spring
attire braved the difficulties but only
at the cost Of practically running ex-
pensive costumes.

commissioners entered the first barge
at the bridge D'Lena, and the entour-
age followed in the other four. A de-
tachment of Russian sailors, on invita-

the army and navy building and gave a
salute as President LOubet passed in

Mr.. Everson. This city is laid out better
than any that have ever seen before.
There is. to my notion, nothing to COM
the narrow streets and narrow sidewalks
of most eastern cities. To have planned
such place and forced his plans into eX-

people who have been raised here and
who have never seen the cramped-up
eastern cities do not appreciate their good
