to Say EditoriaIly.
 London, July 25.-London morning papers. with the exception of the Ex. press and Daily News, refrained from commenting editorially upon what is described as an unpleasant incident" and sad blot on the olympic games"
 The Express says: We firmly be. lieve American sportsmen regret equally with us the unfortunate incl. dent which makes the relations be- tween them and their British competi tors more strained than ever. We hope no attention will be paid to wild words on such subjects on either side of the Atlantic. Such unhappy occurrences are best forgotten as quickly as DOS. sible."
 The Daily News attributes the "un. savory" incident to the gambling ele. ment and says: Tt has besmirched the whole character of the olympic games and has brought us face to face with that aspect of modern sport which makes the revival of this clas. sic event an irony"
 In their general description of the race the morning newspapers unhesi- tatingly adopt the view of the judges that Carpenter was guilty of boring" |" They quote Haswelle's assertion that he was elbowed out by Carpenter, who gave him two vigorous blows on the chest. It is alleged a doctor examined Haswelle and found bruises from these blows.
