ATHLETES AT PARIS.
One of the Features of the Ameri-
can Display.

NEW YORK, May 30.-a. G. Spalding,
director of the athletic sports at the
Paris Exposition, arrived home on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse. Mr.. Spald-
ing spent two weeks in Paris acquaint-
ing himself with the arrangements for
The athletic games, which Will be an im
portant feature in the exposition and ne
returns well pleased with the result of
his short visit, owing to the fact ti.at
practically everything that America
has asked for has been granted.
The most delicate request and one
that caused considerable discussion was
the question of changing the dates or
the Sunday games that the American
college athletes expect to take part in.
Mr.. Spalding presented an appeal from
the intercollegiate Association and 9TH
er letters, had personal interviews with
the French officials and thought at one
time ii would be impossible to so ar
range the dates that they would meet
the wishes of the Intercollegiate Asso-
citation. Upon arrival in New York he
was advised that his assistant director
De Garmendia had cabled that all the
athletic championship games in which
Americans would appear had been
changed to the 14th, 18th and 18th of
July.
a twenty-five mile marathon road race
has been added to the run on July 18th.
A valuable prize will be given TO the
winner. This event was added at the
special request of President Babbe of
the New England Association, to give
the American long distance runners a
chance to compete against the world.
The standing high jump and standing
broad jump were added to the pro-
gramme also, and the~petition Of the
William Barry Association to have a
Gaelic football competition between
their team and some others not yet
selected. has been granted.
Thus far America has secured special
favor from the French officials and in
fact, friendly disposition has been
shown to do everything in their power
to make 1t possible for this country to
be properly represented. America will
be well represented officially at the meet

and the American athletic authorities

The rules under which all the athletic
events will be contested are to a certain
extent framed after the rules of the
English Athletic Association.

favorable information for the amateur
