1t is true that the "VieuX Paris" one of the

be replaced by permanent ones after the closing
of the Exposition. since these two palaces are
to remain ornaments to the capital.
Not only will the Exposition not be ready, but
many of the chief streets and avenues are in

The match for the championship of the
District between Mr.. E. P. Hanna, the pres
ent holder, and Capt. P. o. Farrell, dough-
ty champion, who always aims at shining
marks, and who had attained a wide dis
tinction in the game before many of the
present generation saw the light of day, will
commence this evening at o'clock if Mr.
Hanna's engagements will permit.
