A QUEER RACE, THIS
Partisan Sewing Girls Hold a Walk
ing Competition Between the !
Il. Tuilleries and Nanterre.
Fully 1000 Girls Started, Their
Ages Ranging from Fourteen
.I>'..,. to Forty.

Paris, Oct. 26.-It is a long time
since any event has caused such a
sensation as the walking competition
just held here by the dressmakers'
working girls. The place of the rem
devious was the gardens of the Tuil-
leries. Here they began to arrive two
hours before 10 O'Clock, the time fixed
for the start. The scene inside the
gardens was most picturesque. There
We're hundreds of girls of every kind.
Their ages were from IA to 40. and
their costumes were as varied as the
wearers. There We're 1900 starters
and many Of them took the matter
quite seriously. After their numbers
We're arranged, the warming for the
start was given and the heavy gates
OF the garden swung on their hinges.
BY this time the crowd of sight
seers was something enormous; there
was not a vacant inch Of space on the
place, while up the Avenue des Champs
ElySees as far as the eye could reach,
nothing could be seen but serried lines
of spectators. In the Place de la Con-
corde were q couple of companies OF
Republican guards, supplemented by
g. score Of mounted men and large
force Of police.
With difficulty a space was cleared
for the 1900 midinettes who faced the
starter. A crack of the pistol and the
walk to Nanterre had begun. Owing
to the crowd there only remained a
narrow lane up the center of the
Champs Elysees, and the starting line
at once resolved itself into a process
sion. Those who had the luck to take
the lead in the scramble for places at
the start naturally were able to keep
1t without difficulty.
With the marchers started pro-
cession of automobiles, cabs and cy-
cles numbered by the thousand. The
level ground to Neuilly bridge was
negotiated without much difficulty,
but out in the country several hills
confronted the walkers, and four
or five miles from Nanterre, the fin
tshing point, nearly half the contest
ants had dropped. Those who re-
manned began to look the worse for
wear. Nanterre had never known
such an influx of visitors, and the
crowd that gathered to see the finish
was quite too much for the local po-
lice.
A. narrow path was kept open by
free use Of fists and feet, however, and
when Mile. Jeanne Cheminel reached
the goal she was greeted with upror-
fous cheers. The winner is a MILL
ner but the dressmakers carried off
most of the remaining prizes.

throat can be kept clear of mucous
and splitting. Catarrh is a nuisance
and source Of annoyance, not only
to the one who has it, but everybody
else. The thick, yellow discharge
from the head produces a feeling of
personal deflement, and the odor of
the breath is almost into1erable.
The catarrhal poison brings on
stomach troubles and affects the Kid
neys and Bladder. It attacks the
soft bones and tissues Of the head
and throat, causing total or partial
deafness, the loss Of smell, and Civ
ing to the voice a rasping, nasal
twang. No part Of the body is secure
from its ravages. Catarrh makes
you sick all over, for it is a dis
ease of the blood, and circulates all
through the system, and for this
reason, sprays, washes, inhalers,
powders and salves have proven
failures.
The way to cure Catarrh thor
oughly and per1nan emily is to cleanse
the blood of the unhealthy secretions
