President Loubet and th foreign commis sioners entered tho first bargo at tho brldgo d'Lena and tho entourage followed In tho other four. A detachment of Russian sail ors, on Invitation of tho French military nuthorltlos, lined up on the river sldo in front of tho Army nnd Navy building and gavo a salute as President Loubet passed In tho Bteamer. Tho president bowed In re- sponeo and. tho flotilla proceeded, President Loubet passing complimentary remarks on several of tho national pavilions wmcn wero artistically adorned with flags and flowers Stnrn nnd Ktrlpe Ilun Up. Reaching the American pavilion tho stars and stripes were dipped from the flagstaff and two American marines, stationed one on each side of Washington statue, waved a trl-color, whllo tho crowd of Americans gathered on the embankment In front of the ' """""""""t pavilion gave President Loubet a ringing cheer. The president was greatly pleased at this little courtesy and, turning to Ambas sador Porter, who was beside htm on tho boat, remarked: "TJio (American always does right; this Is a magnificent building." To many visiting Americans, howtvor, our national pavilion Is a distinct disappoint ment. It Is pretentious, almost overpower ing with its big dorao and startling frescoes over tho entrnnco, but It compared unfavor ably with the beautiful "Buildings of oven smaller countries liko Italy, Spain and Aus tria, which are Its neighbors along tho Seine. Tho boats reached Alexander bridge, where tho party landed. They traversed tho brldgo after admlrlnif the vista up tho Esplanade of the Hotel des Jnvalldcs In ono direction and through the new Avenue Nich olas II In the other. Along the latter Presi dent Loubet proceeded until he reached tho Champs Elysecs, whero the party entered carriages and, escorted by cuirassiers, drove back to tho Hlysecs, loudly cheered by tho assembled thousands. Tonight Paris glows with myriads of decorative lights, which shlno from public buildings, the exposition structures and the Boulovard resorts. Thousands of sightseers are riding through thw thoroughfares or walking along tho boulevards enjoying the perfect spring evening, Itinerant bands add music to tho festivities, whllo fakirs amuse tho crowds gathered In front of the rostaurants. Tbe cafes within the exposition grounds, which aro barred to tho public until to morrow, present a scene brilliant and at tractive. iMost of tho buildings have n row of lights running about the friezes which bring Into splended view artistic bas reliefs, statuary and other effecttvo art results with which thoy aro decorated. It was long pnist midnight when tho masses turned tholr fates homeward, the day ond tho ovenlng having been spent as Parisians enjoy fetes. Contrary to expectation, the premier, M.
