 Paris July A-American athletes, fresh from their victories in London, won the only two events decided today, and se- cured leading places in all the trials which took place on the opening day of the worlds amateur championships, held un- der the auspices of the Exposition.
 The contests werp inaupura fed with ma o. nificent weather, the Paris Racing Club, in Pre- Catalan, glade in the Bois de Dou- loghne. Its pretty surroundings, however, are hardly adequate compensation for the poor accommodations provided for the visitors, which will be seriously felt on the days of the big crowds. But no incon- venience was experienced today, the mea ger attendance being astounding to the American and English visitors accustomed to see tens of thousands at athletic con- tests of such international importance as that of today.
