Holland, Canada, Africa, Germany and Belgium one each, while one heat was void because the time limit was eX- ceeded.
 The games were as bewildering ta watch as a three -ringed circus. At one time a dozen bicyclists were wheeling along the outer edge of the oval, while 20 runners were racing on the cinder path just inside it and the swimmers with their bright col ored caps were splashing through the long tank On the sWard within the members of the Danish and German gymnastic clubs, arrayed in their glar- ing white uniforms, were performing spectacular feats on horizontal and parallel bars and giving exhibitions of calisthenic drills.
 Judges, scorers. trainers, timers and rubbers of the many nationalities rep resented swarmed everywhere. The only disappointing feature of the eX- hibition was the crowd in attendance. The enormous stadium, built for the accommodation of 10000 persons, at no time today held more than 10000. There were great blocks of empty benches. During the morning session there were only a few hundred people gathered through the gseat eXpanse of chairs Considering the English de- votion to sports and the generosity with which the public responded to the appeal for $50,O00 by subscription, the small attendance was surprising.
 The weather today was discouraging to sport It continually threatened rain and a few light showers fell. Un- less the attendance greatly increases the Franco British exposition, which built the stadium and receives 70 per cent of the receipts, will be d heavy loser. The Irish athletes expressed dissatisfaction because the Olympic commissioner refused to allow them to enter a separate team on the ground that Ireland is not a nation. thereby compelling them to compete as a part of the British team.
 The Films Were anxious to parade under the Finnish flag. but as the re- quest was vetoed by the Russian Of ficials, the Finnish contingent was the only one that appeared yesterday in the procession without a flag. as they would not display the Russian colors.
 The committee to consider the American protest against the ineli gibility of Tom Longboat, Canadian Indian runner, will meet tomorrow but it is believed they will table it on the ground that it was not properly presented.

 The twenty kilometer cycle race was the most cosmopolitan event of the day. L. G.

Eight rid CTS were well punched the last lap, and only in the final 100 yards was the fight decided.
 The first three heats of the three mile race were interesting. The Unit ed Kingdom was pitted against Italy. Holland and Germany in the first and in the second the Americans met teams representing Sweden and France Great Britain had a walk over in the first heat, the four mem bers of the team running their op- ponents off their legs and coming un- der the wire elbow to elbow in slow time.
 The Americans set a faster pace in their first heat, but on nearing the finish the Frenchman, BOuin, shot ahead of the field and the best the Americans could get were second and third places. The Canadians. who eX- pected to make a good showing in this heat, failed to appear Another interesting number on the program to- day was the 660 yard cycle race. of which there are 16 heats. Of this number the United Kingdom won six and France three. For America the only entry was Cameron, who won.

 IN IHt SHOCK MARKET
The Strength 1t Allowed Last Week Tempted No Heavy Selling.

New York, July 1.-The stock mar ket showed a tendency to slip back into the rut of dullness from which last weeks animated dealings stirred it until the persistent strength of the market prompted a renewed outburst of buying in the final dealings. In spite of the early dullness there was Ia conspicuous scarcity of offerings.
 The demand, while moderate, was thus made effective in holding prices. The absorption o.- steel continued in a manner to keep attention fixed and the persistence of the demand was at tributed in a general way to the cheerful view of the trade outlook. Southern Pacific was another center of strength. The market closed with large buying going on in various quarters of the list. Bonds were heavy.
