superb appearance of the French feet. especially
the excellence OF all that pertains TO its artillery
officers and crews presented a smart and busi-
nessIike appearance. The French custom of
perpetuating In the names of ships the memory
OF great admirals, generals and civilians-Du-
perre Massena. Carnot. Cassini for instance
is highly commended. Altogether forty-three
ships took part in the review. including thirteen
battleships four armored coast guard vessels.
five armored cruisers. eight cruisers, six de-
stroyers six torpedo boats and floating bat
terry.
In spite of one or two insignificant cartoons
attempting to ridicule President Loubets visit
to Cherbourg It is now certain that he was
cordially and respectfully greeted everywhere on
his journey by the masses of the people, and re-
turned TO Paris fully satisfied with his trip.
Although the Paris season has come to an end
the Exhibition Commissioners and functionares
continue to exchange hospitaIltes in as spirited
a manner as ever, and in way daunted
by the tropical heat. which yesterday attained
3S.S degrees centigrade (about 94 degrees Fab
renheD In the shade at Montsouris ObserVa-
tory. which beats the highest previous record,
that of 3S4 degrees centigrade, recorded on
July 19 1881.

entertainment this evening to the Exhibition
Commissioners, ana opened nS pedutlAuliJ

are quoted at 5 francs 25 centimes. while on the
street tickets could be bought for 20 centimes
each instead of the nominal value of / franc

in circulation. 1t will be remembered that on
July IA Exhibition tickets varied between 60
and IS centimes each in value. Pressure IS

in the price of tickets
The international juries have nearly all COM
pleted their .labors; that Of the musical nstru-
ments has adjourned indefinitely. In the Musical
Department there were four hundred and fifty
exhibitors some submitted ten instruments. The
French exhibit far and away the most
complete and interesting. The Frenchmen had
more than two-thirds of the jury, though the
foreign exhibitors outnumbered the French. The
foreign countries represented were Germany.
United States. France captured the bulk Of the
large prizes although the United States makes a
good showing considering the smallness of the
American exhibit. In the pianoforte section the
best known foreign houses were conspicuous by
their absence. and all the leading French firms
were represented the jury, and were there
fore out of the competition.
