GREYHOUND RACING ON THE STAGE.
PARIS EVADES AN OFFICIAL PROHIBITION.
PARIS, Feb. 1sh Greyhound racing, forbidden in the public stadiums of France, will bevertheless be presented shortly on the Paris music-hall stage.
A greyhound meeting had been announced for February 4th in aid of various charitable objects, but the Prefect of the Seine has forbidden its taking place, declar ing that any authorisation of such events must await the passage by the Senate of a Bill permitting the pari-mutuel on greyhound courses.
The management of the Folies- Bergère, however, have stepped into the breach, and one of the scents in their new revue will represent a racecourse in which both borzois. and greyhounds will take part. The greyhounde have been provided by the Greyhound Club de Franée, while racing experts have seen to the necessary details. The dogs will race on toying platforms, while the crowd, the starters, the electric hare, and other features will be reproduced as faithfully as possible.

This spirited performance was finally terminated by a policeman who perceived that the big crowd, which had assembled in a spirit of amused and half-incredulous quriosity, was becoming restive.
The photographer, who had taken an unwilling part in these strange proceedings, explained that the tourists had professed an extra- ordinary devotion to the memory of Gordon, and had asked to be permitted this unique expression of their reverence,

No other power approaches it in this respect. ROLLER BEARINGS, on every wheel in this train, overcome other causes of uneven train motion. This combination produces a smoothiness, a serisation of gliding along, that surprises and delights.:
