concerned has been the arrival of Mlle. Cécile Sorel, who played the “Taming of the Shrew” at the Casino before a large audience. At the Elysée Palace, the "Revue Olympia," is playing to packed houses. In the afternoons, the dances at the Carlton are as popular as they have been in previous seasons, while the Thursday evenings' galas at the Thermal Palace are also popular.

There is probably no man
and Mr. Jackson, 2 down. There is probably no man in all the seven arts more deceptive in appearance than Erik Satie. The great comedian of modern composers has outwardly all the earmarks of a solid bourgeois suburbanite. To be sure, Satie is a commuter, coming into the Quartier practically every day from Arcueil, where he has a little villa. He is famous in Montparnasse for his eccentrically conventional get-up. Hard-boiled suit, stiff white collar, bowler hat and umbrella are the distinguishing characteristics in the attire of the man who is noted for the sardonic humor and eccentricity of his
is noted for the sardonic humor and eccentricity of his music. Long ago, Erik Satie set out to fight the impressionist music of Claude Debussy. In the field of modern composition, Satie is best known for his "Gymnopedies," "Socrate," "Parade," and more recently "Mercure." He is an inveterate founder of schools. The no longer famous Groupe des Six (Auric, Durey, Honegger, Milhaud, Poulenc, Tailleferre) was instigated by Satie. Within recent years, he inaugurated the extremely youthful Ecole d’Arcueil. Satie has just completed a new composition which will be presented by the Swedish Ballet with décors by Picabia. The Near East
the Swedish Ballet with décors by Picabia. The Near East is represented musically at Montparnasse by Naggiar, the Syrian composer. A rotund and jovial little fellow, he has managed to make a big noise at such diverse institutions as the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Caméléon and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Naggiar is chiefly interested in dance composition. He did the music for "La Reine de Saba" and for Maurice Rostand’s "L’Icone," which were danced by Germaine Nerys and Stowitts at Herbertot’s playhouse. He is now working on the music for "A qui le Milliard," which will be given at the
"A qui le Milliard," which will be given at the Châtelet in the autumn. Naggiar was a pupil of Saint-Saëns and was greatly influenced by the French composer. The Baraque de la Chimère is no more. This little playhouse in the Boulevard Saint Germain, which gave up the ghost some time ago, has just been torn down, doubtless to make room for some useful enterprise such as a boot factory or butcher shop. The Chimère was organized a few years ago by Gaston Baty, who was metteur en scène last year at the Odéon under Gémier, and who was more
year at the Odéon under Gémier, and who was more recently attached to the Studio des Champs-Elysées. The Chimère had been especially constructed under Baty’s supervision to serve him as a sort of theatre workshop. It had a special equipment for scenic effects. The Chimère ran a little too much towards arty-ness, but Baty’s policy of experimentation at least ensured the presentation of plays which might not have been given otherwise. In the latest number of Paris-Journal, Legrand-Chabrier, the critic, has a diverting article. It seems that he was assigned to cover the Salon des Tuileries. Legrand-Chabrier’s hobby is the
to cover the Salon des Tuileries. Legrand-Chabrier’s hobby is the circus, and when he found no pictures of that genre in the exhibition, he marched out into the bois. There he spent the rest of the afternoon reading Coquiot’s book about circus paintings by Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and Seurat. Legrand-Chabrier is, with Fréjaville, about the best informed and most entertaining of circus critics. His writing is gratefully free from the patronizing that creeps into similar work by so many highbrow American critics. Arthur Moss.

Correspondence) LUCERNE, Monday—The Golf Club opened its new clubhouse, which promises to be very popular. The house is remodeled from an old Swiss chalet. It has a lounge hall, locker rooms, a bar, and a bridge-room, all designed in quaint Swiss style. The golf course itself is to be improved and extended to eighteen holes. The season is now at its height. The American colony celebrates the Fourth of July in brilliant fashion.

BIARRITZ, Monday.—The coming polo season promises to eclipse even the success of last year. The matches are starting six weeks earlier and will continue officially until the end of October. The opening match will be played on July 27 with the Anglet Cup as the prize. The entries for this match close on July 14. Besides the teams certain to be entered by Mr. Frederick H. Prince, of Pau, and General Fitzgerald, of Biarritz, there will surely be two or three other local teams and at least one Spanish four. The second match of the year will start on August
The second match of the year will start on August 3 for the Carlton Cup. It is hoped to secure the presence of some of the Olympic teams for these games.

a letter from Secretary of State Hughes to Dr. Sau-Ke Alfred Sze, the Chinese Minister, informing him of the action of Congress in remitting the Chinese Boxer indemnity payments and also the text of the Chinese Minister’s reply. Mr. Sze in his letter expressed the gratitude of the Chinese Government and people and declared the intention of his Government to devote the payments remitted to the furthering of educational work in China, with particular attention to scientific instruction. In his reply Mr. Sze said: “I hasten to express to you the thanks of the Government and people of China for

The Chinese nation will ever hold this generous action on the part of the United States in grateful remembrance. First Remission. “The first remission by the American Government in 1908 enabled the Chinese Government to devote the annual payments of the indemnity thus set free to educational purposes. The results of the experiment have convinced the Chinese Government of the wisdom of the step taken in this direction. “It is the purpose of the Chinese Government to continue the policy with the

facilities of about 70 percent of pre-earthquake days, says Mr. E. G. Babbit, Acting American Commercial Attaché in a report to the Department of Commerce. Foreign residents of Yokohama on April 21 totaled 1,118. Of this number, 714 are Chinese, 137 British, 104 American, 47 German and 116 other nationalities. The local authorities are planning measures to induce foreigners to return. These measures contemplate among other things the expenditure of 300,000 yen for building residences to be rented to foreigners exclusively. Prominent Question. The municipality is making inquiries as to foreigners desiring to dispose of perpetual lease property. This question
foreigners desiring to dispose of perpetual lease property. This question attained considerable prominence soon after the earthquake when it was rumored that the municipality would take over the leases at their post-earthquake value. The plan was abandoned because of its unfairness to leaseholders, and since then no definite action has been taken. The local press states that on March 31 there were forty-three factories and workshops established in Yokohama employing a total of 7,756 operatives.
