THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1907. 13 FRENCH RACES Astounding Figures Are Compiled by Government Department. By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE. Paris, June 8.—J. Plcrpont Morgan, who Is luxuriously Installed In the spa cious and comfortable appartments at the Hotel Bristol, which he always oc cupies when in Paris, is very busy. The antc-chambcis are filled with art dealers, waiting to Bee the millionaire and offer him their various treasures for his Inspection. . , Mr Morgan receives each In turn with Invariable courtesy, which Is In marked contrast with the' brusque manner of many wealthy Americans toward those offering objects for sale. The way In which the famous collec tor Is pursued by those having any thing of artistic value to sell Is amus ingly exemplified by a little anecdote related by Comte d’Aublgny, a cousin of Mme. Herl Say; Mr. Morgan wns the other day tho guest of Mme. Say (nee Miss Davis). * Seeing among her valuable collec tion of pictures one which took his fancy, tie said to M. d’Aublgny, "I will buy that, will you arrange the pur chase for met” ■'Impossible,” was the reply. "Mme. Say does not wish to sell her pic tures." , . „ Great was his amusement when Mr. Morgan retorted, "Then what am-1 here for?" The French agricultural department has Just published some astounding figures concerning the amount of money wagered on Paris race courses. This department, being the official pro moter of horse breeding In France, has the supervision of all the race courses. . The report shows that each year larger and larger sums are wagered. Since the opening of the present sea son In March last the Paris Mufucl has received *20,200,000 In wagers. This is a distinct increase on last years takings for the same period, the amount taken In 190# belpg *17,000,000, while 1905 yielded about a million and a quarter less. Gate receipts have increased in like measure. The amount paid thus far this season Is *672,000. against *612,000 for last year. M. Oalllauxs depart ment has also benefited. By the law, which gives a percentage of the bets to the treasury, he has already placed over a million dollars as the product of the state control of wagers and all kinds of betting. It Is estimated that over half the money wagered each year on the Paris race courses Is wagered by Americans who come aver here. They are more reckless In their bets and put larger sums of money on the horse they «ant to back than do the French. The Empress Eugenie has Just won a suit In the Paris courts against the government, which will deprive the na tional museum of a large number, of objects of historical Interest and value now being shown In them.

Thesri articles had been appropriated by the state, since the republic, and had been placed In palaces of the Elysee. Fontainebleau. Versailles, Compkgne, Ramboulllet and the Louvre Museum. At that period the courts found that the august lady’s claim was Justffied in theory, but nothing more was done In the matter. She has again brought the matter before the Paris courts, whose Judgment Is to the effect that as those objects were In reality a personal property of the Emperor Napoleon III, and as they aie of minor interest from the artistic or historical point of view (this Is to 1 save appearances) they are to be handed over to the Empress Eu genie. The articles Include pictures, tapes tries, porcelain, snulf boxes, etc., but the most Intending ntnong them are a number of personal relics of Nupoleon I, Including several hats, one of the famous gray overcoats, several pra- M-ntatlon swords, and the bench ou, which the exiled emperor used to sit In the gulden of Isingwood, St. Helena. There are also one or two relics of 8L Louis, Including the window and part of the wall of the prison where he was de tained at Mansouruh. All these things are to leave the museums at once and are to be handed to the empress; but It Is more than likely that she will give them back to other Institutions of her own choosing. She has been very gen erous to Malmalson. A competition of the beautiful hand lace which Is only obtainable In France and Belgium Is about to be opened at the Muses Soclale In Paris, an Interest ing Institution founded by the Count de Chambrun, husband of the sister of Mr. Nicholas Longworth. The object of the competition Is to encourage the making PVhgtJokl luce at reasonable prices. The Society of the Dentelle de France, which bos many aristocratic supporters, bus noticed that between the cheap commercial lace, which Is used for so many purposes, and the eoetly article used for lux urious toilets there Is no medium, ana It Is the object of the present move- m They 0 hare P Mtherto been largely Im ported Into France from abroad to sup ply tho deficiency, as the large number of purchasers of lace among the middle classes want something better than the very cheap commodity, but ore unable to rise to the high-priced lace of Brus sels, Valenciennes and point de Venlse, The Importation of nffedlum-priced lace during the lost two or three years has exceeded 10,000,000 francs. T.he com petitors for a French lace at a price sufficient to assure a proper remunera tion for the work are to.be awarded prizes of 1,000 francs for the best, three at 600 francs and five at 100 fronts. Some three hundred specimens made by seventy-live schools of French lace have already been sent In to the Muse Soclule. The president of tho move ment Is Mme.

London, June &—Ambassador Whltelaw Held administered a painful snub to Alfred Austin, the poet laureate, at the “Dilute tea” given *t Dorchester house. The English rhymer, discussing American literature with Mfr. Held, rather tactlessly said: “It Is strange that Amorim, which has produced so many millionaires, has so very few poets.” “I think," replied the aiqbassndor, “that the statement might lx! equally uppllcd to Kngluud. 1 do not think there has been a really great English poet since Teunysou.” Mr. Austin could- forgive the American diplomat for Ignoring Algernon Chmles Swinburne and the others, hut was sorely hurt by the Implied slight ou the genius of England's official |ioct.

The thousands of skilled Rrltish workers who are going over to protect Germany will assist still further In ruining Rrltish trade. The intention of the manufacturer* Is to utilise the expert kuowledge of the more costly type of articles which will then be “dumped” In the markets of free trade Britain.

A well-known hardware dealer, talking to on Express representative, put the percent age much higher—'“90 per ecut at the very least,” he said.
