BRITISH SUMMARY OF THE 0LYMPIAD Number of Jarring Incidents Surprisingly Small, Thinks
 the Press.
ENGLAND LEARNS LESSON
London Times Frankly Confcsscs Su- periorlty of American
 Methods.

London. July 27.-The London morn ing newspapers continue to discuss the Olympic games from the viewpoint Of the international friction developed, but with disposition more freely to recog-. nize that there is much to be said for both sides.
 The Daily Mail says:
 After all. the number of unpleasant incidents is surprisingly small and the International feeling may be removed by second thoughts and fuller informa- ton. Perhaps with olympic games, as with peace conferences, they may not realize the highest hopes of their pro jectors, yet they help the world for ward"
 On calm reflection, leading public opinion takes the proper view that from the moment Dr. Muir, in attend ance on Dorando, ordered him to be lifted from the track, he was out of the race. pr. Muir himself says: '''Dorando had completely spent his energy when he fell and if he had not been lifted up he must have lain on the track long after Hayes and the others arrived"
 Some comment having been caused by the signing of a contract by Doran- do to appear at music halls, the Italian explained yesterday that he had signed the contract under stress of his first emotion and cannot withdrawn from it, but, he added, he will only appear for a single week and will devote the whole proceeds to charity.
 Sporting Life calls for the compila- tion of an international code of rules to govern all future olympic meetinge
 The Times, commenting on the olym- plad says:
 we have learned some useful les sons, especially that In speed and strength we are far behind the Amsri- cans and that in field events our men were as children by the side of the American athletes or, to put 1t differ. ently, they were as amateurs compared with professionals.
 "Our men have not been taught SC WEI, III li'iiy SdSSS tHes HbNc Hol been taught at all, but they run an6 jump and throw the hammer simply by the light of nature.
 "Our haphazard methods of training served very we'll indeed so long as W had only each other to contend with If we are to compete against the world especially against such busness-lilst athletes as the Americans, with anN hope of improving, we must be busi ness-like, too. Then the question arise. as to whether 1t Is worth while to make a business of sport. Probably 1t Is no so we sha'n't go far wrong in thu cause of true sport if we stick to ou antiquated methods.'

PRESIDENT AND 0LYMPlAD
American Victors May Be Received at
 Oyster Bay,

oyster Bay, N. r.. July 26.--Presi- dent Roosevelt's interest in the great victories of the American athletes at London in the olympic games, of the American committee of which he was the honorary president Is known to be great, but no statement could be obtained from Secretary Loeb to-day regarding the manner in which the president received the news of the vic tories.
 It is not improbable that the presi- dent will take some part in the pro- posed reception 10 the American ath- letes on their return from England should the plans to have all the mem bers of the American contingent return at the same time Instead of making visits abroad, be successful. It was said to-day by a person who knows well the presidents great interest in athletics that 1t is not unlikely that should MT. Roosevelt be unable to go to New York for the welcome he may invite the victors in a body to Saga more Hlll, there to tell them how great ly pleased he is over the showing they made at London.

Whether Columbus day ultimately becomes legal holiday or not, the pro- posals of the Italians residing in Con- necticut to celebrate the 41Gth anniver- sary of the discovery of America on the 12th of next october is worthy of all encouragement It will probably open the road to a larger recognition of tho day not only in the United States but throughout America The great dls- ooverer has been hardly treated in tho matter of perpetuating his fame. Tho honor of giving a name to the now world has been transferred to Ameri- GUS Vespuccius without warrant. and the true dscovercr has thus lost his most fitting memorial II would bo well to restore credit where credit IS dua.
