FRENCH PRESIDENTS GUARDS
Police Methods Employed to Promote
Safety Of the Executive of
France.

The Paris municipal council has re-
fused to pay any longer for the po-
lice protection of the president of
the republic, hitherto betrayed by
the taxpayers, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, on the ground that this is
an item of national and not municipal
expenditure. The municipal police
have been withdrawn from the Ely
see. In their stead is staff Of de-
tectives belonging to- the surete gem
erale, a section under the ministry
of the interior. The older members
Of the Elysee police staff, unwilling
to sever their connections with the
Elysee, have resigned their municipal
appointment and joined the new
force. The cost Of protecting the
president is $13,5oo year. Twelve
detectives, styled by. courtesy in
spectors, are employed for this pur-
pose. Their office is under the gate,
way Of the Elysee, on the Faubourg-
Saint Honore, and they are taking
their orders from the president's
civil secretary.
The brigade has no easy task. Il
accompanies the president on all his
travels and at least a couple of de.
tectives shadow him on his morning
walks to the Bots de Boulogne. M
Casimir-Perier could never bear this
police Surveillance, and more than
once he gave his detectives. the slip,
much to the annoyance of the pre-.
feet Of police. Felix Faure- looked
upon them as most useful and de.
serving men. President i :Loubet
thinks they are a necessary evil.

SHAMROCK II WINS AGAIN.
BEATS THE FORMER CHALLENGER EASILY
BOTH ON AND BEFORE THE WIND.

Rothesay, July 10.-Another open water trial
of the Shamrocks started about IL o'clock
this morning off Bogany Point. island of Butte.
The challenger allowed the older boat to get
well away to windward and several lengths
ahead thus permitting her to get the first Of the
fresher off shore wind. Shamrock l maintained
ali her advantage to Kilchattan Bay, but the
challenger then picked up rapidly and passed
Shamrock I clear to leeward after clever bit
of sailing
In Kilchattan Bay the two Shamrocks had g.
couple of windward trials, of eight and seven
miles respectively The challenger finished the
first race half mile in the lead. In the second
she started to leeward, but worked out to
windward and by a minute.
The wind later freshened to ten knots. and the
water was whitecapped. The challenger, how
ever. continued to sail in good form. She easily
outfooted Shamrock I In beating to windward
and was also faster in going free. but on that
point OF sailing the difference less percep
tible.
The concluding feature of to-day's trials was
a reach home in breeze which submerged the
yachts lee rails. The chaenger's form seemed
to improve with the freshening wind She did
seven and half miles in thirty-four minutes.
II calculated that a thirty mile course
the challenger would have beaten the older boat
by about five minutes
