Edwakd Casky. Ch'n. Com. of Arraugcmeuts. PARIS LETTER. Pahim, June, 27, 181S). We reached Havre Monday noou the lilth of June. We soon got our baggage and wheels through the custom house ami put lu the remainder of the day at the elegant Hotel Frnscatl. We had scarcely landed when we were met by a delegation from the Havre 'cycle club, Inviting us to a banquet, but we were compelled to decline as It would require all our time to prepare for the ride next day, get our wheels out of the crates ami get straightened up generally. Tuesday the 17th we started at 10 a. m, for Caiidcbec 87 miles, where we ar rived nfter a very pleasant ride. The roads were perfect and the scenery grand, and oue pluce we coasted three miles in nine minutes, the road was down Into the valley of Lllllebonne aud wns graded Just like a railroad truck going down by xlx-xngs. At Caudcbcc there were a great many poor sxple, and In the evening the children came arouud the hotel beg lug.' We hud considerable sport toss ing pennies in the air aud seeing the kids hustle for them. We visited a very old catherul here also an old Ro man ampitheatro that was atone time buried, but was unearthed In 1828. The next day we reached the very interesting old olty llouen, where the afternoon was spent looking arouud as there are objects of art In almost every direction. In the evening most all at tended the theatre. Soon after eur ar rival here here one of the boys remem bered that he left his pocket book under his pillow at Candebee, he returned by train and recovered It alright. Ou the lllth we rode to Vernou, 84 miles along tho banks of the Seine river with the railroad between us and the Holds and vineyards across with cliffs and mountains along the rond; It made a very picturesque ride. We saw a great muny soldiers at many places and It looked as If war might be in progress. As we were cutcrlng Vernon we had Just ridden post an old stone house, wheu It colupsed and fell Into the street. Of course there was some excitement for a-whllo. In tho eveu lug after dinner we got a bull and bat und went out on tho square In front of the hotel to huve a little game for amusement, but In about tlftccn minutes' we had the whole population out to see us, which waa about eight thousand. There was to have been a concert In the city In the eve as we afterwords learned, but we hud lnocent ly tukon all the nudleuoa, so It was not given. A full account of the game was 1-Ntw York Jltratd next morning. The next day's ride was loHt. (ier tiuiln, where we remained over night. And tht uext morulng, the 21st at 0 we started to rid Into Paris. We nsle through Park St. Germain and along tha beautiful terrace, with Its wonder ful view of mingled wood and meadow, through which the Heine winds Us way, Here It was that we had our first glimpse of the Elllel Tower, a gbost-IIke pillar, far away rising from behind tha sIonsi of distant Mount Valerian. Here under the noble trees, we were photographed by a Parisian artist, aud thus handed dowu to his tory, or Infamy, I forget which. After the photo, down, down, down the winding road from the terrace lo the plain below, then along over the side of Mont Valerian (the strong.ist of the detached forts surrounding Purls) through Suresnes, over the Seine Into the Hole de Bouloiige and hall ut the cascade, Hera a party of French and American lady cyclists had wheeled out to meet us, together with many Parisian wheelmen. A plciisuiit quart d'heure under the tree at the restaurant uebr by, Mere, vlns, et cetera aud then on again through the Hals, avoiding the broad sunny avenues, for the cool, shady alleys winding In and out among the trees, wsin put the Jardln d'Acc llmutlnu, we were at Porte Maillot, where leaving the Hols, we entered the Avenue dc lu Uraude Armee, the Are de Trlomphe tie I'Etolle, listnilug up before us. Here a halt was made at the rooms of the (lu English) nieiMM)ll(Hii bl club, and refreshments partaken of. Then oncu more ou past the Are, down the world famed Chuis Elysces, past the obcllt'x aud soon dowu the Uue-dc-Rlvoll to to the Hotel Continental. Sism wheels were safely housed for the week and all were busy discarding cycling togs for the eouveullouul long trousers and boiled shirt of commerce. Hut the llrst of all we got our letters aud also a copy of the Wkst Hunt In the evening many attended the theatres. The next day several of us wont by train to Ver sailles, where we visited the stlace and gardens, also enjoyitig the grand con cert In thesflernooii. Monday sixteen of us toon a four-in-hand couch and visited must of the Interesting places. But of our week In Paris, uow drawing to a close, who could tell one-half that might be told? The theatres, museums, Zoo, Notre Dame, finished 4no years be fore America was discovered, the cathedrals, the bourse or stock ex change, the tomb of Napoleon and the Louvre, where there are miles of ait galleries and every conceivable work of art, In short the thousand aud oue at tractions of "Psree" would require so much space that this letter (already as long as a wagon (rack) might goon Ilka Tennyson's brtaik, forever! ,' Moat of tho boys have spent their time profitably as well as pleasantly, and to-morrow we will start for Geneva All along the route the hotels have been the very best. The French cooking Is exquisite, and their way of serving Is very nice, At table d'hote there are about a dozen courses, and it take Just oue hour and a half Every day has been full of joy and ench ulghl of solid sleep, aud may it continue, Hut enough till soother letter and another week.
