CORRESPONDENCE OF THT OATj PARIS, Oct. €.— Several times each week large crowds start from* here bound Zor home In California. The re«t and <;ulet to be obtained on the ocean is looked forward to with pleas ure and thoroughly appreciated by travelers who have been sightseeing and touring through France and else where In Europe for many weeks. To the women, especially, tired out as they are with the final few days 1 shop ping, the rest is particularly pleasing. for there Is always, seemingly, a mil lion things one wishes to do at al- rr.est the last moment. To be able to drop into a steamer I chair on board ship and doze the hours ' away is like a promise of paradise, ! after the fight and struggle to get j poTK-r.s and other garments home from j th» dr»ss makers in time to pack in ! trunks before starting. In some of : \ht big establishments the experience! of waiting for hours for fittings and i t?sea the necessity of sending gowns' b&ck over and over again for final j touches is well nigh maddening.

BAIXOOXnVG A REAL SPORT Ballooning Is no longer a novelty in \u25a0 France. It has become a real sport, \u25a0 and It is the belief that it has "come i to stay." The newspapers are full of j all kinds of aeronautic news. The re- j cent bad weather was a great disap- j polntnrent In the enormous crowds who j gahered In the gardens of the Tulller- i les and the Place de la Concorde to | view the etart for the grand prlre of- ] fered by the Aero Club de France a few days ago. Out of 20 entries 19 started. To beat all records the winner had to remain In the air more than 41 hours and exceed a sailing distance of 1,525 kilometers, this being the record. One member of the club published a primer of questions end answers as to the pleasure and cessation of being "up in a balloon." It wae Quite at clever as Addlson Mizner'B almanac and as hu morous. Much interest Is being taken by aeronauts here In the ascensions which are to be made at St. Louis, Mo., In a couple of weeks. Several well known aeronauts have left France for the purpose of participating therein. What next? Now comes Charles Frohtnan, the well known theatrical manager of New York, with a plan for giving theatrical representation* on Atlantic steamers while crossing. He it said to be even . now negotiating with the Cunard steamship company to equip the giants LusHania and Mau retania with stages and necessary fit tings. With the abandonment of the table d'hote system on some of the big Atlantic liners (which system was bo great a trial to many passengers) the opportunity of seeing a theatrical performance worth while would be ap preciated by many travelers, On the i other hand, there are numerous persons i \u25a0who tall the chance to get away from j that very sort of thing — society din ners, theaters, etc., and "take a run over to the other side," merely to es cape what is now proposed shall be In troduced on board Ehip. You can't es cape diabolo, however, for nearly all of the larger ships are equipped with eeta for those passengers who are devotees of -the game.

Wrong Fund ASHER GIVES ADVICE Attorney Declares Police Boat Money Can Not Be Used for Motorcar Auditor Horton refused yesterday to sign* a demand drawn in favor of a locol motor company for $4,500 in pay ment for the big red automobile now used by Chief of Follce Blggy; Hor ton held that the demand was Illegally drawn on a fund of $10,000 which was made In the budget of the present fiscal year; for the purpose of purchasing, a patrol boat to be used by the police department on the water front. Horton bad received an opinion from his attorney, Maurice "Asher, to the ef fect that he could not legally audit the demand, despite the fact that the board of -supervisors had. by ordinance au thorized the purchase of the machine. '"The board of supervisors has done an illegal act In ordering the purchase of this automobile with money out of the fund appropriated for a patrol boat," said Horton to a representative of the motor company who made the demand. ."That fund must be kept In tact until the purpose for which It was made Is accomplished. If no patrol boat Is purchased the money will go Into the general fund, but not before the end of this fiscal year." It looks as though the motor com pany will have to wait until June SO for the payment of its bill unless the board of supervisors rescinds Its for mer act and pays for the automobile out of another fund which is more elastic than the patrol boat fund. JUDGMENT ALLOWED BY LOWER COURT REVERSED Defendant Who Did Not Read Con- tract Must Suffer, Say Appel- late Court Judges In reversing the decision of the lower court in the suit brought by the De Laval 'dairy supply company . against M. B. Steadman, for whom the lower court decided, the court of appeal yes terday said in handing down the de cision: "It is a general principle that if the cleans of knowledge be at hand and equally available to both parties the Injured party must show that he availed himself of the means at hand before he will be heard to say that he was deceived." The action was one to recover the cost of certain machinerj which the plaintiff claimed was sold f. o. b. San Francisco. The machinery was shipped aboard the steamer Gipsy, and was lost In the wreck of that vessel In the bay of Monterey In September, 1805. The defendant to the action held that he had not read the printed contract of the sale stipulating the purchase to be f. o. b., and claimed as he had bought the goods on a month's trial he was not liable until after .the trial had been obtained.
