And quietly went to sleep.

While Patrick slept and dreamed
Of the liquor he had stored away,
And how pleasant allthings seemed
That thieves must have entered Pats

And boldly swiped the liquids
Laid by for a rainy day.
But very soon upon his retarn

a GIGANTIC STADIUM.
Novel Arena Planned For Olym-
plan Games of 1904.
UNUSUAL FEATURES PROVIDED.

Building to Seat $4,000 Persons and
With Adjustable Roof Arranged
For-Stadium Can BE Divided Into
Three or More Bui1dings-No Pill
lars or Posts to Obstruct View.
A stadium which will seat $4,000 per-
sons and which in point Of size, ele-
Gance and excellence Of arrangement
will probably excel any other building
erected for q similar purpose is
outlined in a set Of preliminary plans
just placed in the hands OF MIR. Harry
J. Furber. Jr., president Of the Olym-
plan Games association. The structure,
1T Is asserted, will house the Olympian
games to be held in Chicago in 1904,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The building will cover approximately
eleven acres, the arena alone being 800
feet long and $50 feet wide. The sta
dunn at Athens, where the Olympian
games were held in 1896, was out $40
feet long and 100 feet wide. The sta
dunn at Athens seated between $4,000
and $4,000 persons. The plans for the
= Chicago stadium provide for more than
$4,000 seats in case they may be neces-
eary on the days when there will be
special attractions at the games.
A striking novelty in the way Of a
roof is provided for. The area over the
seats will be rooted In the usual way.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1902-02-27

Out the arena will be protected by q
roof or left without one with almost
the ease with which an umbrella can
be opened and closed. The roof Of the
arena Will consist Of q series of water
proof curtains arranged on rollers OPP
Grated by electric motors. When the
games are in progress, the curtains
will be rolled back. In the event OF a
storm all that will be necessary to put
On the roof will be 'to press a button"
So In good weather, while the audience
will be protected from b SUMS rays,
the contests will really take place in
the open air, and with the aid of the
adjustable roof postponements will be
unnecessary "on account of the wealth
err"
An unusual feature is an arrange
ment for dividing the stadium into
three or more buildings for special oc-
casions when the whole space will not
be required. At either end or in the
center a hall for any sort Of a gather
ing can be made in three or four days
at a nominal expense. Another fea-
ture Of the construction is that there
will not be a pillar or post in the whole
interior to shut out the view from any
point. The first row Of seats are five
feet above the arena and b topmost
row sixty feet above.
The Olympian games Of 1904, 1t Is
predicted, will be greater than any ever
held before at n period in history.
Athletics have advanced with the arts
and sciences, and where the ancient
Greeks had but few tests of strength
and endurance there are now scores.
The ancient sports will be reproduced
in Chicago, but the modern games Of
ali nations will doubtless attract great
~er attention. There will be the old
Greek foot races and wrestling and
the Egyptian chariot racing, but also
modern fencing, boxing, wild cowboy
racing-everything, in fact, except
medieval jousting.
The athletic end of the games will
be under the direction of William Hale
Thompson and A. G. Spalding. The
formers duties will be to round up
every sort Of sport on the globe, and
Mr.. Spalding is to select the contests
which are to make VI the programme
Tor the month. Mr.. Thompson already
has men at work in Europe and Asia,
as well as in America, looking for the
best athletic material available.
President Furber feels assured that
the programme at Chicago will be bet
ter than that at Athens in 1896 or at
Paris in 1900, and, with a view of add
ing features not seen at Athens or
Paris, it has been decided to keep the
=, stadium open for a month instead OF
fifteen days, as was at first planned.
