THE BOULINGRIN.

The English have returned to the French that which they had borrowed of

them. Formerly, people did not go to walk on the _boulevard_, but on the

_boule-verd_, from which the english have made _bowling-green_, a

literal translation. From this word, the french derive their

_Boulingrin_.

This place is situated at the junction of the rampes Beauvoisine and

Saint-Hilaire; it is a vast square surrounded by a magnificent double

row of horse chestnut trees. Since the horse market has been transferred

to it, people commonly call it the _new Rouge-Mare_.
