NINE EMPTY CHAIRS.
Are Filled With Husbands by Village
Trick

Brussels, June 2.-AU Hainaut, twenty
five miles from Brussels, the most novel
sort of entertainment has been devised by
the village folk At a meeting OF the
town council it was decided TO have
every year banquet on the first of June.
at which only unmarried girls anxious
for husbands were TO be the guests.
The first feast of the kind took place
this year in the midst of the greatest
excitement the whole village making ii
a holiday and unmarried girls from all
the neighboring counties had been in
vited.
Alongside of each girl an empty chair
was kept as an invitation 10 bachelors to
choose their partner. a crowd of posi-
BILE bridegrooms stood about during the
banquet and it looked as if the whole
feast were going TO finish without any
practical results. when at the end nine
of the men offered themselves as volun-
tary victims and chose each their part
ner.
The marriage of all nine will take place
within this month and Hainaut is full of
enthusiasm at the glorious result of its
matrimonial institution and a number of
other towns where marriages are said to
be getting scarce will initiate its exam

Paris, June 2l.-Mme. Camille du Cast,
who gave up the Paris Madrid race in
order to attend to the wounded victims,
discussing the future of automobile rae
ing. said:
Automobile races must not be stopped
but they should be modified. The first
and chief danger comes from foolhardy
spectators. These people should be pre-
vented from pushing in upon the course
They endanger their lives and those of
the automobiles. II is with beating
heart 1 drive my automobile through
these crowds through fear of crushing
them to death. They gain nothing by
pushing in upon the track. They could
see just as well if they kept back rea-
sonable distance.
The automobiles may have TO dash
through a cloud of dust raised by the
carriage which proceeds him. He cannot
see well under these circumstances.
Il presume we shall have in France
very soon a special racing track for auto
mobiles \ large tract OF ground will
be rented near Bordeaux or some other
big city. The machines will run round
and round and people will not be per
mitted to go in on the track They will
be kept outside as in the case of horse
races. Yet / fear toe many professionals
will be developed, as in the case of bicy-
cling
Il think we might continue to race long
distances if ordinary prudence We're OBJ
served. To stop racing altogether would
be a cruel damper upon a great industry
and a serious check upon a splendid
sport For my part. 1 intend 10 run in
