02 - IN LONDON, AN AMAZING TROUP OF COWBOYS, PERFORMING THE MOST DANGEROUS EQUESTRIAN EXERCISES: CAPTURE, BY LASSO, OF WILD HORSES AND BULLS, DRESSING, ATTRACTS A LARGE AUDIENCE. IT MAY BE THAT THESE COWBOYS WILL SOON BE THE HOSTS OF PARIS AND PRESENT THEIR SHOW AT THE BUFFALO STADIUM.

03 - DEMUYTER HAS, ONCE AGAIN, WON THE GORDON-BENETT CUP FOR SPHERICAL BALLS. DEPARTING FROM BRUSSELS, THE FAMOUS PILOT WENT TO LAND IN SAIT-ABBS, NEAR EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, AT AN APPROXIMATE DISTANCE OF 740 KILOMETERS.

04 - THE COMEDIAN ALSO ORGANIZED THEIR SPORTS EVENT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUSLY PICTURESQUE CYCLING RACE, FOR WHICH TRISTAN BERNARD STARTED. THE PLANNED ITINERARY WAS NOTHING LESS THAN PARIS-BREST AND RETURN. BUT IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE COMEDIANS HAVE PUSHED THE JOKE SO FAR.

05 - THE ASCOT RACES, IN ENGLAND, ARE A MAJOR HORSE EVENT. ALL THE “GENTRY” GOES THERE, AND MANY ATTRACTIONS INCREASE THE PLEASURES OFFERED TO SPECTATORS, IN ADDITION TO THE COMPETITIONS. A FRENCH CRACK, “MASSINE”, BEATED “FILIBERT DE SAVOIE” WITH A SHORT HEAD. HERE'S A FUN SCENE, TAKEN AT WEIGHING, DURING THE MEETING.

06 - THE TOUR DE FRANCE HAS BEGUN. THE RIDERS HAVE LEFT FOR THE EXCITING FIVE THOUSAND KILOMETER HIKE.
