    holidays at all ) is looking forward to leaving everyday toil for a few weeks or days of

    well-earned rest and relaxation , it may not be thought too frivolous or vexatious to allude to Boating even in these humdrum trade notes .

    That pleasant gossiper , Hugues le Roux , the other day , in the columns of our esteemed

    contemporary , Le Temps , reminded its readers that rowing in France dates no further

    back than the year 1830 ; that it had for its cradle Paris - ~ , and for its founder the

    well-known romance writer and essayist Alphonse Karr . He soon obtained the

    cooperation of Theopbile Gautier , Adolphe Adam , and other Parisian authors and artists ,

    who formed the first French Rowing Club . The newspapers of those days contained the moving recital of the long rowing trip which

    was made from Paris to Havre . This was one of the events of the periodand rowing became

    a fashionable amusement x . , A few years cj later Paris had hundreds of boatsand Bercy and

    Asnieres became rowing centres , . The first Paris Regatta C 3 was held in 1834 , and the day v

    following this event two clubs were formed which have existed ever since . The one ,

    which was really what English people call a rowing club , took for its name ' The

    Race Rowers' ( Ramenrs de Course ) . The other which was simply a social club whose members could pull an oar and liked to

    go on the water for the sake of the fresh air and congenial society , called itself ' The Ballad Rowers . ' These joyous oarsmen

    have been portrayed in a farce which had a great success towards the close of the Second Empireand whose title was The Rowers of

    the Seine , . ' Guy de Maupassant ' , too , has depicted them in some of his popular stories .

    The Parisian crew of the Gauloise , when at Cherbourg in 1866 , beat the crew of a French

    man-of-war . The latter declared the cause of this defeat was the lightness of the Paris boat

    and oars . Whereupon the Paris crew offered to ^^ ^_^ change ^^ ^ f ^ ^ npim * m Wk ^ " * boats w *^ ^ w ^ r ^ — - w . » This — — ' offe — - r was . ^ - - accep ___ ted , and _
