While his Queen, Victoria Engénie, shopped in the Rue de la Paix, the King's motor attained a speed so terrific on the broad Champs Elysées that he distanced not only his official escort but also several motorcycle policement, who, not knowing his identity, gave chase with intent to accomplish his arrest...
