that on the afternoon of the sailing of the

wharf by a number of the admirers of

Itinerary of the Trip.
The itinerary of the trip on the continent
embraces a stay of ten days at London the
party proceeding to the English capital
without delay after landing at Liverpool.
The athletes will be kept in strict training
in London and have quarters specially as
signed them at Lords Field, kensngton,
suburb of the metropolis, where every
thing has been arranged for them. The
step over at London Is made for the pur-
pose of entering the athletes in the Eng
lish championship games which will be
held on July I, and in which considerable
interest centerS.
on July or 8. by way of the Dover and Calais
route. the journey being short over the
English channel. Once on the continent a
train will be taken to Paris and no stop
made until the training quarters are
reached, very few changes being necessary
on the ride.
The team Is fortunate In securing an ex-
cellent place in Paris, the mansion house
Boulogne which has been placed at the
disposal of the party for as long a period
may be desired The mansion house IS
surrounded by about eight acres. laid out
in pretty gardens and walks. The athletes
will have an excellent training place. and
will have privacy that could not be Sc
cured anywhere else. The runners will be
able to get their sea legs off and place
themselves in fine condition possible
for the hard work that will be before them.
So much care has been taken looking to-
ward the keeping of the men in condition
that even While on the water their regu-
lar exercise will be kept up as much as
possible, while the training table will be
kept up as rigidly as If the men were at
home. AT the present time the athletes are
in good condition, and Professor Foley
feels confident that they will not suffer
greatly on the ocean voyage. The steamship
company has been very accommodating
and has made arrangements for space
whereby the runners will have ample room
to keep in sprinting form while on the boat.
The party feels indebted TO the steamship
company for the courtesy that has been
extended it in this direction. The exer-
else on board will not. however. be severe.
Its character will depend entirely upon the
weather and the condition of the water,
which if too rough may prevent any eXer-
else at all. The idea of Professor Foley is
to keep the muscles as elastic as possible
and at the same time keep the systems of
the athletes toned up to the health;est
notch.
