but clouds are still lowering in the
 sky and this to some extent explains the slimness of the attendance
 The program to-day is not up to
 the usual standard, there being ou'
 three finals scheduled, three mile
 team race. the 666 yards cycling race and the 2,O0O metres tandem cycle race. American interest cen ters in the team race in which three
 teams representing America, Eng land and France qualified yesterday for the final. The final in the three
 mile team race was won by England America was second. Time l4 minutes 39 3-5 seconds.
 The English team was composed of H. A. Wilson, A. J. Robertson, ]. D. Deakin, N. F. Hallows and w. Coales. The American team was composed of George V. Bonhag' Irish-American Athletic club; G. A. Dull, University of Michigan; J. L. Eisele, Princeton and New York Athletic club; H. L. Trube, Cornell and New York Athletic club, and Harvey W. Cohn, Irish-American Athletic club. The French team consisted of four men only.
 The Swedes had their revenge to- day for the failure of the manage ment to display the Swedish flag at the opening, for the first standard to be hoisted to-day to the top of the tall mast in the arena was that of Sweden. This was done to set forth that E. V. Lemning had won the Javelin throwing contest. He put the staff IFS feet 7k inches, breaking his own record of 175 feet 6 inches Czouras, Greece, who won the silver medal, was 10 feet be hind Lemning, his distance being 16S feet 6 inches. Halse, Norway, was third with 16S feet IA inches. No Americans competed in this event
 The final of the 660 yard cycle race was won by Johnson of England, Demangel of France second, Neumer of Germany was third. The time was 51 1-5 seconds.
 The final in the 2,00O metre tan dem cycle race was won by the French team, Schill and Aufray; Hamilton and Johnson of England were second; Brooks and Isaacs of England third.
 As expected, England won the three mile team race with compara- tiev ease. At the crack of the pistol Deakin, Robertson, Coales and Will son jumped to the front, with Bon hag fifth. Coming into the home stretch on the first lap, however, an- other wearer of the stars and stripes, the long striding Eisele. made a bid for a better position. and slipping alongside of Bonhag, he took sixth place. Beth men were running easi- ly. France already was out of the race. Bouin, who ran so well yester- day, retired before the conclusion of the first lap.
 After concluding the first circle Eiseie went to the front, but Deakin, the English cross country champion, challenged for the place and getting the pole led the way for his team mates.
 By this time the field had divided into two sections, Eisele leading the second lot, with Dull and Cohn close at hand and Trube and Bonhag bring ing up in the rear. Eisele soon went up to the first section. When he got there he apparently was worrying over the other Americans, for he kept back at them. But he hung on to the four Englishmen with whom he was leading the second sec tion by forty yards. The second sec tion was made up on Bonhag. Dull, Cohn, Hallows. the Oxford crack, and Trube now in the order named. Eisele apparently was the only man who could compete with the English men at their own game of long dis tanee. He took second place in the sixth lap, and for this he got a great cheer from the American contingent. But he could not keep this place and soon dropped back to fourth The plucky American, when the bell rang for the last lap, started chasing the who were we'll ahead of him. He commenced we'll, but the pace was too fast and he had to con tent himself with fourth place at the finish, Coales beating him by a bare yard. Deeakin and Robertson. who were respectively first and second, had a good lead. Wilson got fifth place and Bonhag finished eighth. and Dull. Trube and Cohn came in in the order named. They were follow ed by two other Frenchmen. Eisele got an ovation for his great effort against the best distance runners of England.
